A tip from a local news station directed Wichita Police to a suspicious package in a rural area northwest of Wichita on Tuesday, January 25, 2005. Police believe the package could possibly be connected to BTK and have submitted the contents to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for authentication.
The package was located on North Seneca Street, a dirt road that runs between 69th and 77th Streets. Police want to talk to anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in this area between January 14 and January 25, 2005.
The tip that was received by the Wichita television station indicated that another possible BTK communication was dropped on January 8, 2005. Last night, through investigation, WPD located communication number seven that could be from BTK, according to Lieutenant Ken Landwehr, Commander of the BTK investigation.
The Police Department continues to pursue tips and leads on the BTK case, and has received more than 5,000 tips from the public since BTK resurfaced in March 2004.
