Quoted: AFAIK the FBI simply recovered deleted files from the disk that identified him by name and his church.

Correct.
I haven't heard the part about identifiying him by name, but the name of the church was in one of the files that had been erased on the floppy.
Once they used an "Unerase" utility, all they had to do was look up the church in the phone book.
If he had used a fresh, new floppy disk, he'd still be out there killing.
You want to know the real reason they caught him?
About 6 weeks before the floppy showed up, a Baptist church in the area had a "BTK Service".
300 people of different faiths showed up.
All they did that night was have different ministers lead in prayers that BTK would be caught.
The entire service was spent praying for his capture.
In all the years that he had been terrorizing that community, that was the first time they had come together just to pray for an end to the crime spree.
Awesome!
