THE infamous BTK killer is avoiding charges relating to the 1976 disappearance of a 16-year-old after prosecutors couldn’t find sufficient evidence.
District Attorney Mike Fisher said in a press conference on Monday that despite Dennis Rader, 78, being named a prime suspect, they could not file charges against him.

Cynthia Dawn Kinney was a cheerleader from Pawhuska who was last seen at a laundromat.
However, Fisher asked the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to open a formal investigation into Kinney’s disappearance after public interest revived the cold case.
Fisher said he would file charges if he found evidence that would warrant it.
The Osage County Sheriff’s Office also believes Rader may be the prime suspect in the death of 22-year-old Shawna Beth Garber, whose body was discovered in December 1990 in McDonald County, Missouri.
Just last month, the serial killer’s property was searched by cops for possible evidence related to the case.
Investigators used shovels to search an area Rader used to own in Park City, Kansas, about 10 miles north of Wichita.
“The theory is he could have placed evidence of cases under stone pavers under the metal shed he built early to mid 90s,” Rader’s daughter Kerri Rawson told Fox News.
“Like drivers licenses in jars.”
Rawson said that detectives were digging a hole in the ground where the shed used to stand.
