Wichita ? Days before the scheduled start of his trial, the suspect in the BTK serial killings called a Wichita television station and talked about problems with his defense team but wouldn’t discuss specifics about his case.

Dennis Rader called KSNW-TV on Friday and talked to a journalist who has close connections to his family, KSNW news director Todd Spessard said Wednesday. Parts of that interview were aired Monday and Tuesday.

Rader, 60, of Park City, is accused of killing 10 people in the Wichita area between 1974 and 1991. The former Park City compliance officer has been in custody since he was arrested Feb. 25.

For decades BTK, which stands for “Bind, Torture, Kill,” taunted media and police with clues and messages.

Rader, often speaking in the third person, complained to KSNW that he has not seen recent court filings and faulted his defense team.

“I don’t want any negativism toward the people who are trying to help me. On the other hand, Rader needs to know what’s going on,” he said. “The paperwork needs to be coming down to him somehow.”

On Friday, the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s office filed court papers adding a possible witness. In a separate document, the judge ordered the defendant to have no indirect or direct contact with state witnesses.

Rader stood mute during a brief hearing in May, leaving it to District Court Judge Gregory Waller to enter a not guilty plea for him. His trial was then set for June 27, a date prosecutor Nola Foulston said at the time would likely be postponed, though that has not yet happened.

“I’m trying to get everything set up and trying to get everything resolved,” Rader told KSNW. “I’m sure that some of the things that are going on will, might, reflect on what happens that day, I guess you might say.”

Rader said he could not explain further what was going to happen Monday.

“Three things can happen on the hearing: There’s a continuance, there’s a plea or we go for trial. That’s the only three things that can happen that day,” Rader said.

Prosecutors also say the don’t know what will happen. Georgia Cole, spokeswoman for the Sedgwick County district attorney’s office said there’s no plea deal with Rader and he can’t change his plea to “no contest” without an agreement with prosecutors.

“It is set for trial,” Cole said. “As to what they tell the judge they want to do, that is anybody’s guess.”

Mark Orr, spokesman for the Sedgwick County public defender’s office, said Wednesday that Rader’s attorneys would not comment about the case. “Whatever happens Monday will happen in court,” Orr said.

Spessard said the TV station gave Rader an opportunity to deny the charges against him. “He never denied it, he never admitted it,” Spessard said.

But Rader did tell KSNW that his wife of 33 years is contemplating divorce, but he said he is receiving letters from her and his grown children.

“Yeah, Paula has opened up a little bit more. She’s writing a little bit more. Kids are hit and miss, you know, they’re busy, but yeah I’m getting some letters and phone calls,” Rader said.

Spessard said prosecutors have subpoenaed the KSNW interview tape.
