OK, I'll even go first on the Census angle

OK a nice story from the Wichita Eagle with a Dennis Rader quote or two. Mr Census began in MAY of 1989 so let's just go from May 1, 1989 to December 31st 1989....

We still need the counties he was in and around and then missing people from that time period as well as any bodies turning up...

I liked this passage: "Census workers can be identified by their red, white and blue identification badges and 11- by 16-inch tan address registers."

....and hit kits, tape rolls, handguns, gloves, and a change of clothing



"Workers prepare for 1990 Census

During the next six weeks, some Wichitans will receive a visit from a U.S. census worker

The real census doesn't begin until next year -- April 1, 1990, has been designated as Census Day -- but federal workers will be out verifying addresses beginning next week.

They are gathering information in areas that have had considerable growth or change since the 1980 census.

Dennis Rader, census field operations supervisor for the Wichita area, said the address checks are made so that census questionnaires to be mailed out next March can go to correct addresses.

"We find that living units have been built above businesses or residential garages, or that homes have been demolished to make way for new buildings, and we need those addresses," Rader said.

Census workers can be identified by their red, white and blue identification badges and 11- by 16-inch tan address registers.

Rader also said the census bureau is accepting employment applications for many of the 700 jobs available in Kansas. The people who do much of the door-to-door work, called enumerators, will be employed for six to 12 weeks next spring and will be paid $5.50 an hour. They must be at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen and take a written test."
