WICHITA, Kan. - Police detectives were interviewing "a person of interest" Friday in the so-called “BTK Killer” case, a possible break in the serial murder spree that has bedeviled investigators for more than 20 years.

NBC affiliate KSN-TV reported that a number of law enforcement personnel, including members of the Wichita Police Department bomb squad, had descended on a residence in Park City, where the person lives.

A person of interest is someone who is believed to have information about a crime -- possibly, but not necessarily, a person suspected of having committed the crime. If the police have enough evidence that this person actually committed the crime, they usually call the person a suspect. So "person of interest" is a step below "suspect".

  • A person of interest is someone who is believed to have information about a crime -- possibly, but not necessarily, a person suspected of having committed the crime.
  • If the police have enough evidence that this person actually committed the crime, they usually call the person a suspect.
  • So "person of interest" is a step below "suspect".
  • KSN-TV probably means Kansas State Network - Television.
