There's disbelief among family members and others who knew the Kansas man arrested in the BTK serial killer case.

A local pastor says Dennis Rader's wife and mother have been in seclusion since Friday's arrest. The pastor visited with the family and says they're having a "hard time" dealing with the news.

Rader is a longtime government worker and father of two. He led a Cub Scout troop and was an usher at his Lutheran church. Rader was reportedly well liked and respected at the church.

The pastor describes how one young Wichita church member saw
Rader's picture on the T-V news. He says the child turned to his father, saying "Dad, he tricked us, didn't he?"

As many as 10 murders over three decades have been linked to
the BTK case.
