BTK killer may have connections to Osage County cold case

WICHITA, Kan. — An Oklahoma district attorney is holding a news conference Monday to discuss recent allegations of a connection between serial killer BTK of Kansas and an Osage County cold case.

District Attorney Mike Fisher covers Osage and Pawnee counties in Oklahoma. The news conference is at the Pawnee County Courthouse in Pawnee, Oklahoma.

Last month, Osage County authorities said Dennis Rader, the man convicted of being the BTK serial killer in Wichita, is “a prime suspect” in some unsolved missing persons cases, including Cynthia Dawn Kinney from Pawhuska.

Last week, the Osage County, Oklahoma, undersheriff said they have at least four “pretty strong connections” to cold case investigations linked to Rader that they feel could go to trial.

Rader, 78, has been in the El Dorado Correctional Facility since his sentencing in 2005.
