In August, the Osage County Sheriff’s Office publicly confirmed it was investigating Rader as the “prime suspect” in the 1976 disappearance of 16-year-old Cynthia Dawn Kinney and several other unsolved crimes in Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas. Now 78, Rader is serving 10 consecutive life sentences in a Kansas state prison. He is known for his cat-and-mouse games with authorities, sending clues about his murders to law enforcement in the years before he was eventually arrested. Rader was arrested and pleaded guilty in 2005 to 10 murders in the Wichita, Kansas, area that he committed in the 1970s through 1990s. The sheriff, who announced an active investigation into potential links between Rader and cold cases in the region last month, said in Tuesday’s news conference he interviewed the prolific serial killer Monday. Rader took and kept victims’ personal effects, including jewelry and clothing, CNN has previously reported. The search was based on a 2008 letter Rader wrote from prison describing “trophies” he had buried under the floor of his backyard shed. The items included “trophies” from at least one woman and bondage materials, authorities said. The announcement comes less than a month after Osage County investigators discovered items in a “hiding hole” at the property of Rader’s former family home. We are in the process of working to go try to recover those items,” Sheriff Eddie Virden said in a news conference. “We have locations provided to us by BTK where he says he has other trophies hidden. Oklahoma authorities are working to recover more “trophies” that BTK serial killer Dennis Rader said he hid in multiple locations, the Osage County sheriff announced Tuesday.
