Reno County Sheriff Randy Henderson said last week that "it may take a while" before authorities learn whether Rader is connected to the 1977 death of Gail Sorensen.
Sorensen, 23, was reported missing on Feb. 11, 1977 — the same year that Shirley Vian and Nancy Fox were killed. Sorensen's car was found in Hutchinson.
Two days later, Sorensen's body was found just south of Hutchinson.
Authorities are revisiting the case, Henderson said, because the circumstances are similar to how Park City residents Marine Hedge and Dolores Davis were killed and left in a rural area.
"That fits our scenario — also the viciousness of the crime and the close proximity to Wichita," Henderson said. "I think we're derelict if we don't look at it."
Reno County Sheriff Randy Henderson said he has not yet received word from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation about whether DNA links Rader to an unsolved 1977 Hutchinson murder.
