Police have uncovered new evidence in the decades old BTK Wichita serial killer case and are questioning a person of interest, according to sources close to the investigation.
Authorities scheduled a news conferece for 11AM Eastern Saturday to make an announcement in the case, and relatives of the killers victims would be briefed beforehand.
Some police sources have said that a 59 year old man was arrested Friday and linked to the case by a DNA sample.
Surveillance activites gave police 'their first big piece' of recent evidence, leading authorities to a vehicle and the person of interest.
Investigators also searched a house in the Wichita suburb of Park City Friday, siezing computer equipment.

CNN goes back in time for us to hear "...he's being held in an undisclosed location" (!) and they'll meet with the DA's office next week to see if charges will be filed (I'm sure they will be but must phrase it such).
Taking questions. Can't answer first question.
~sigh~
There is a Dennis Rader who is President of Christ-Lutheran Church in Wichita, KS. It looks like the church has taken down all of its web pages today and they are not in the Google cache. But maybe the Wayback Machine can help.
LOL!!!
Thanks Big Sky, My wife just got me interested in this case this morning, so I am heretofore uninformed.
CNN on...Speculating on licking envelope and leading them to him through DNA, pure speculation..
Giving them a break on self congratulation.
Held in undislosed location..next week will turn case over to dictrict attorney to see if they will prosecute...Open to media questions.
No answers..fruitless questions.
so the cop never gave the name, but CNN said Dennis Rader ?
They're not really gonna say anything concrete, it's an ongoing investigation....what the hell is the point of this circus??
Greta, and friends.............AAAAAAAAAACK!
I recognize breathless Rita's voice, to police chief
What was suspect's reaction.
He can't answer he wasn't there.
Good grief
Why is everyone so eager to protect this guys identity?
This presser is going to backfire on the LE.
"Is there ANYTHING you can tell us. At all?"
/dream question
Now they showed it again. Guess CNN isn't playing their game.
They have already announced that they caught BTK.
I smell something....and it ain't the cooking.
All he's saying is, "I'm sorry. I cannot comment on any of the specifics of this investigation."
CNN's graphic shows the name and photo.
I don't know, but FR and other blogs outed him last night.
