[1979Shocker]

Ken Landwehr, the Wichita police commander who helped solve the BTK serial-killer case and many other Wichita homicides, died Monday. He was 59.

Landwehr had battled kidney cancer since shortly before he retired in 2012 from the Wichita Police Department. He commanded the department’s homicide unit for 20 years and led the task force that captured serial killer Dennis Rader – known as BTK – in 2005.

Played in his golf tournament the pat 2 years. Talk about persistency and never giving up. RIP Kenny.

He was a good man, and he served the public over himself, he should be remembered by all Wichitans.

Not sure where the best place to post this is, but it's an interesting piece written by a criminologist about BTK. That is one scary dude.

One of my close personal friends, who is a legend poster on this very board, was linked to this case back in the 70's.

One of the victims was his secretary. Out of privacy I will not name names if he is interested he can come forward on his own.
