Julia Maria Otero, 33, a Puerto Rican woman also known as Julie Burgos Ruiz Otero, was murdered on January 15, 1974, in Wichita, Kansas. She and three members of her family — husband Joseph Otero, 38, and two children, Joseph Jr. and 11‑year‑old Josephine — were bound, tortured, and killed when an intruder broke into their home. Two other children, Charlie Carmen and Danny, were at school and returned to find the family slain.

The murders are described as the first known killings by the person who became known as BTK. The Otero victims were buried at the Puerto Rico National Cemetery in Bayamón, Puerto Rico.

Are there readers who remember the Otero family in Wichita or who can share details about the children’s lives and who they were?
