An Oklahoma prosecutor, District Attorney Mike Fisher, stated yesterday that there isn't sufficient evidence to charge notorious serial killer Dennis Rader, also known as BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill), in connection with the 1976 disappearance of 16-year-old Cynthia Dawn Kinney. This decision comes despite law enforcement officials labeling Rader as a prime suspect.

Fisher emphasized during a news conference that he has not reached a point where he can file charges against Rader in Kinney's disappearance. However, he has requested the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to formally look into the case due to the revived public interest in this cold case. If substantial evidence emerges, Fisher is prepared to file charges.

Osage County sheriff's officials, including Undersheriff Gary Upton, have recently described Rader as a "prime suspect" not only in Kinney's disappearance but also in the death of 22-year-old Shawna Beth Garber, whose body was found in December 1990 in McDonald County, Missouri.
