WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Police in Wichita, Kan., have released a 25-year-old poem in the hopes it will lead to the identification of the notorious BTK serial killer.
"Oh, Anna Why Didn't You Appear" is the title of a poem Anna Williams received in the mail on June 14, 1979, along with several personal items the killer had taken from her home.
Williams, 63 years old at the time, apparently did not arrive at the time BTK intended to kill her. The last time police interviewed Williams was in 1984, and she has since died of natural causes.
The newly released poem indicates Williams was meant to be BTK's eighth victim after seven other killings between 1974 and 1979.
BTK's eventual eighth victim was Vicki Wegerle, who was found dead in her home on Sept. 16, 1986.
BTK resurfaced in the news in March when the Wichita Eagle received a package containing Wegerle's driver's license and other photos of her.
