	BTK Serial Killer Returns
		A serial killer is a person who has a history of multiple slayings over a span of time with a period of “normalcy” (called the cooling off period) in between killings.

		This is BTK's faintly etched self-portrait, based not only on yellowing newspaper clips and police news conferences, but on the notes BTK sent, and the carefully tied knots he left wrapped around the ankles and wrists and throats of the souls he killed.
		After the Otero murder, BTK wrote that long note, stuck it in a book at the Wichita library, and called Don Granger, an editorial board member at The Eagle, to tell him where to find it.
		When BTK broke into Kathryn Bright's home and hid in the closet on April 4, 1974, he probably didn't think she'd come home with her brother, and that the brother would fight heroically.

	BTK Wichita Serial Killer: BTK's Early Communications
		Since BTK has made such a point of airing himself in the local media and since even the police think he may have some connection to the local media, a preliminary analysis of those events and interactions is presented here.
		BTK wrote the infamous phrase “How about some name for me, it's time” strange since in a 1974 article the Eagle-Beacon claimed the first letter was signed ‘BTK”.
		However, the idea that BTK was one of PJ’s students seems to have been given too much credence and is over sensationalize by the media even now when it is just as likely BTK came across the song through a sibling or friend in the class, parents connection to PJ, or some other plausible source.
