I saw an old documentary about the case that is still running on CourtTV, where one of the guests noted that the BTK case was (as far as he could tell) the first case in the nation where DNA was used in an investigation. The documentary also noted that in the 1970's before any of us had ever heard of caller ID, the phone company in used it to track a call from BTK to a TV station and deploy police to the location. The unit was at the phone booth within a matter of a few minutes, but by then BTK had left.
