Tabloid Talks To Alleged BTK Target

March 16 - A National Enquirer article claims an employee at Park City's KFC says BTK suspect Dennis Rader came to the restaurant and stalked her. The headline reads: "BTK Killer Wanted Me Dead." The paper talked to 25-year-old Sonya Gray, a supervisor at the KFC.

The article quotes Gray as saying "A police officer told me I was lucky to be alive, and not BTK's 11th victim." Gray told KAKE News that's what an Enquirer reporter told her when he showed up on her doorstep. He had a copy of a letter she says Rader wrote her and she had turned over to police.

Gray says when she asked the Enquirer reporter how he had obtained a copy of the letter, the reporter told her a police source had sent it to him. She says the reporter warned she would have likely been BTK's 11th victim.

On January 15th, the 31st anniversary of the Otero murders, Gray told the magazine a man she would later recognize as Dennis Rader came into the restaurant. She says he stayed for the next five hours, asking her questions about her kids and her life.

Gray says she was getting a little worried because he wanted to know too much. She says after an hour Rader left, but returned with a legal pad. She says he told her he was glad she didn't think she could sneak out of the back door and get away. Gray says Rader then spent the next hour and a half writing a poem to her.

The KFC's manager told KAKE News he knew nothing about any of these events until he read about them in the Enquirer. The article also uses Wichita Police as a primary source, writing that they believe Gray was scheduled to become BTK's 11th victim. Police officials tell KAKE News no one familiar with the BTK investigation has ever talked to the National Enquirer.
