Wichita ? A package of items believed tied to the BTK serial killings was found Tuesday by a local resident in a Wichita park, police said.

A man whose identity was not released found the package, wrapped in plastic and held together by a rubber band, then contacted local television station KAKE-TV. The station subsequently called police.

Wichita Police released a statement saying it had submitted the contents of the package, which it obtained in the early-morning hours Tuesday, to the FBI for authentication.

BTK — which stands for “Bind, Torture, Kill” — is linked to eight unsolved killings from 1974 through 1986. He resurfaced in March with letters to media and police.

KAKE-TV showed film footage of the contents of a package, including an unidentified wrapped metallic object and blurred images of three pages purported to be a list of chapters of a book entitled “The BTK Story.” The station said police asked them not to disclose the specific items.

However, KAKE reported the package contained what appears to be the actual driver’s license of Nancy Fox, who was found tied up and strangled in her home on Dec. 8, 1977. BTK’s voice was captured on tape when he called a dispatcher to report Fox’s murder in 1977.

In a 1978 letter, the killer also included a poem titled “Oh! Death to Nancy” that had striking similarities with the lyrics of the old folk song “Oh Death.”

Police said they had received close to 5,000 tips from the public since BTK resurfaced in March.
