Real-life Lechter
The true crime fans in the audience will find this chilling account of the re-emergence of the "BTK" killer interesting:
After 25 years of silence, police have apparently heard again from the BTK Strangler, a serial killer who terrorized the city during the 1970s.
My mom was all about true crime in the 90s. As I recall she said something about the FBI tracking something like a dozen of these maniacs across the country. No faces, no names, just dead people showing up occasionally with the same MO. Sleep well tonight folks!
Last stats I looked at, the FBI suggested there are at least two dozen of these killers traveling across country at any one time. The interstate highway system has allowed most of them to go undetected. This one was most probably in prison or has been killing in other places and was not connected to other crimes. He may have gotten in touch with the police to be sure he is getting credit for his crimes.I hope he doesn't read weblogs.
