WICHITA, Kan., March 26 (UPI) -- A Wichita, Kansas, newspaper has received an eerie letter indicating a seven-time serial killer from the 1970s is still active.
The Wichita Eagle received a letter, a photocopy of a dead woman's driver's license and three photographs of her after her death.
Each picture shows the victim in a slightly different pose and with her clothing arranged in a slightly different manner.
The letter brought new evidence to the Sept. 16, 1986, strangulation death of Vicki Wegerle, who was found dead in her home. The crime was never solved.
"The photographs appear to be authentic," said police Lt. Ken Landwehr, who has been working on the case for nearly 20 years. "There's no doubt that's Vicki Wegerle's picture."
Landwehr said the letter contained no suggestion the killer planned to strike again, and he asked residents to take normal safety precautions.
He said evidence from the Wegerle homicide is being reprocessed at a forensic center using technology that was not available in 1986.
