WICHITA, Kan. - Authorities are testing the DNA of a man arrested on minor trespassing and housing code violations to see if he has any connection with the BTK serial killings that terrorized the city in the 1970s, state police said Thursday.

Since the 1980s, police have tested hundreds of samples of blood and DNA in the case, police noted.

Wichita police spokeswoman Janet Johnson told reporters Thursday that no arrest has been made in the BTK case and that investigators have received thousands of tips. If people named in the tips have outstanding warrants, they are picked up, she said. That's what happened Wednesday night, when the man was arrested, she said.

Kansas Bureau of Investigation spokesman Kyle Smith also cautioned that the man may not have anything to do with the case.
