True Crime > Renewed Interest in the BTK Serial Killer
Police this week released personal information about BTK, hoping that the description of his life details will prompt new leads.
In the early 1950s, BTK built and operated a ham radio. He participated in outdoor activities such as fishing and hunting, attended church and went to a military school. He served in an unspecified branch of the military and was discharged in 1966.
BTK has shown a basic knowledge of photography, including the ability to develop and print pictures. Police said that according to his messages, his first job was as an electro-mechanic, and after more schooling he repaired business equipment.
BTK was active in the 1980s, then went dormant. He surfaced again earlier this year, sending letters to a Wichita newspaper.
