So said Wichita Police Chief Norman Williams at a weekend news conference. But the real bottom line, as Chief Williams is no doubt aware, is that 'BTK' couldn't possibly have been arrested because there isn't now, and there never has been, any such person. In truth, the 'BTK' killer is a fictional entity manufactured by law enforcement and the media.<br><br>In November/December of last year, I was interviewed by Al Hidell of Paranoia Magazine. That interview - a promotion for my new book, Programmed to Kill (you know, the one that I spent four years working on, primarily for the benefit of the three or four of you who have actually bothered to read it) - will be appearing in an upcoming edition of Al's magazine. Here is a sneak preview:<br><br>You believe another killing, that of the Otero family in 1974, may have also had military connections. You suggest the so-called “BTK” serial killer was a legend created after the fact to cover up the true motive for the slaughter of the family, right?<br><br>Yes, that does appear to be the case – but that is far from being an unusual situation; yet another motivation for the CIA/FBI’s creation of the serial killer mythos is to provide a handy way for the state to disguise politically motivated assassinations as random, motiveless killings.<br><br>Until the so-called “BTK” killer was recently resurrected by the police and media (for reasons that are unclear at this time), it was a relatively obscure case. I didn’t come across a single reference to it in all the reading that I did while researching my book. But with the case now in the media spotlight, I was inspired to take a closer look. And as it turns out, some interesting new facts have only recently emerged, courtesy of a surviving family member of the first purported victims.<br><br>On January 15, 1974, four members of the Otero family of Wichita, Kansas were brutally slaughtered in their family home (not unlike the Ohta family, who were slaughtered in Santa Cruz, California just a few years earlier). Indications are that this was not a random act of violence, but rather a targeted assassination likely carried out by multiple perpetrators who were known by the primary victim, Joseph Otero, a 20-year Air Force veteran. Joseph Otero’s words and actions in the days leading up to the slaughter indicate that he had reason to believe that he and his family had been targeted.<br><br>Charlie Otero, who discovered the bodies of his parents and siblings, is convinced to this day that his father was killed because of something that happened during his secretive work in the military – work that sometimes kept him away from home for months at a time (Joseph Otero was involved with the Inter-American Air Forces Academy, which is essentially an Air Force branch of the U.S. Army’s notorious School of the Americas, which has long been associated with death-squad training and drug trafficking in Central and South America). Charlie is also convinced that there is no possibility that a sole assailant was responsible for the carnage in the Otero home. Joseph Otero was a trained commando and a former champion boxer – and he had been watching over his shoulder in anticipation of an attack. His wife, Julie, was trained in self-defense, as were the two Otero offspring killed that day, Joseph II and Josephine. The family also kept a large and reportedly vicious guard dog. As Charlie has noted, it seems extremely unlikely then that a random psychopath would have been able to enter the Otero home in broad daylight and simultaneously subdue, bind and kill all four family members present at that time.<br><br>It wasn’t until nine months after the deaths of the Oteros that the legend of “BTK” was born, purportedly through phone calls and letters received by the media and authorities. After that, a few more local murders were lumped in with the Otero killings and the whole package was written off as the work of a lone serial killer. But the truth is that the Otero family was almost certainly targeted by multiple perpetrators, and there was very likely a specific motive for the crime. All of that was swept under the rug after the fictional “BTK” killer purportedly took credit for the murders.<br><br>Interestingly enough, a recent Dodge City Daily Globe report noted that, even though “Police said earlier this year that the Otero killings had ‘special significance’ because they were the first in a string of killings … [they] have refused to discuss the case beyond carefully scripted statements periodically released.” Charlie Otero has said that “BTK” investigators have not spoken to him in more than twenty-five years.<br><br>In an LA Times report dated March 2, 2005, a woman named Sheryl Smith, identified as a childhood friend of one of the Otero kids, had this to say: "This was a family that had a vicious dog, where everyone knew martial arts ... It never made sense to me what happened."<br>(P.J.

Time is supposed to heal all wounds, but for Charlie Otero, the passing years have done little to lessen the pain that police say was wrought by the BTK serial killer. On January 15, 1974, Otero, then 15, came home from school to find his parents and two siblings had been gruesomely murdered... <br><br>Police say all four members of Charlie's family had been strangled with the kind of cords found on venetian blinds... <br><br>So great was the fear for the three surviving Otero children that Charlie was not even able to attend his parents' funeral in Puerto Rico...<br><br>Initially, authorities weren't sure why the Oteros had been targeted-- they explored drug connections and Joseph Otero's Air Force career as possible reasons for retaliation. Charlie and his siblings were placed in protective custody-- so great was the fear for the three surviving Otero children that Charlie was not even able to attend his parents' funeral in Puerto Rico. Instead, he was shuffled from safe house to safe house. <br><br>Charlie and his surviving brother and sister had lost everything but each other, but soon the pain grew more than he could bear. Unable to even speak with his relatives without having an emotional breakdown, Charlie parted ways with his family.<br><br>He spent the next 20 years looking over his shoulder, fearing his family's killer was hunting him down to finish off the job. Ironically, just nine months after the Otero murders, Wichita police received confirmation from BTK himself that he'd done the crime. But word never made it to Charlie, and it wasn't until the mid-90s that Charlie discovered his family's murders were linked to the BTK killer... <br><br>Seeing photos of his family brought memories flooding back to Charlie, and he decided to do whatever he could to bring the BTK killer to justice. He could stop looking over his shoulder, but now he had new unanswered questions. Who is BTK? Why had he targeted the Oteros?... <br><br>Charlie says part of him doesn't buy cops' story that his family's killer acted alone...<br><br>Charlie spent 20 years looking over his shoulder, fearing for his life-- before learning the connection between his family's murders and the BTK serial killer...<br> <br>From <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKtorres.htm:">www.spartacus.schoolnet.c...orres.htm:</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>"...De Torres was not actually investigated in regards to the JFK investigation until the time of the House Select Committee on Assassinations when he came to the attention of Gaeton Fonzi due to the revelations of Rolando Otero.
