CNN reports as of an hour ago that Dennis Rader, the man Wichita police believe is the notorious BTK killer, may have been turned in by his own daughter.

WICHITA, Kansas (CNN) — The daughter of the man whom Wichita authorities arrested in the notorious BTK serial killings approached police with her suspicions and voluntarily gave them a blood sample, Wichita television station KAKE-TV reported Saturday night.

KAKE quoted sources as saying the blood of 26-year-old Kerri Rader, whose father, Dennis, was arrested Friday, came back as a 90-percent DNA match to the BTK killer, though the sources did not elaborate.

The sources told KAKE that police began surveillance on Dennis Rader after the results were determined.

Police did not comment on reports about the daughter, the station said.

CNN could not immediately confirm the sources’ information.

Rader, 59, was arrested without incident shortly after noon Friday during a traffic stop in Park City, just north of Wichita, police said.

According to the Wichita Eagle newspaper, Rader had worked as a compliance supervisor for Park City in charge of animal control, nuisances, inoperable vehicles and general code compliance since about 1990. He was a one-time president of a Lutheran church and is a father of two, KAKE reported.

Police plan to file 10 counts against Rader in connection with the killings between 1974 and 1991 — eight counts of first-degree murder and two other homicide charges — Lt. Ken Landwehr, commander of the task force investigating the case, and Sedgwick County Sheriff Gary Steed said Saturday.

Hopefully this young woman can find some peace after this traumatic event.
