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.

DNA matches?

Excellent. Do you know if Kansas has the death penalty?

The death penalty was recently set aside in the state, so it's doubtful that he will get lethal injection.

Have they released a name yet? Obviously some people in Wichita know his name, since they were interviewed as his neighbors.

The death penalty is still here. It was only temporarily suspended for a few days for some reason.

Right, but wasn't there some kind caveat given to the Carr Brothers....something like, "OK, there's no more more death penalty, but we made an exception in your case."

I think 4 people are still gonna' get the needle...

Im surprised the Carr brothers are still around, they must be in the 'celebrity solitude' wing of Leavenworth.
