An Oklahoma prosecutor says there’s insufficient evidence to charge the BTK serial killer in the 1976 disappearance of a 16-year-old girl despite statements from law enforcement officials calling him a prime suspect.

Virden told KAKE-TV he decided to investigate when he learned that Rader had included the phrase “bad laundry day” in his writings.

He called the information he has received so far “rumors because they’ve not been substantiated yet.” And he said he hadn't seen anything"that at this point arises to the level of even reasonable suspicion.” “I’m not trying to create a conflict with the sheriff of Osage County,” he said. “But, there are certain ways to investigate a case, and I’m concerned that those proper investigative techniques have not been used. That’s why I asked the OSBI to assist.”
