"An excellent book detailing the hunt for the green river killer. It was written before they caught him, but they included an afterword in later editions detailing his capture through DNA. This book was recommended to me by one of my professors in college who was also an attorney, and I wasn't disappointed. It's lengthy, but I never felt bored while reading it. Definitely a recommended book."
"This book was written before they finally caught the Green River killer in 2001 through DNA evidence. He would confess to the murder of at least 48 young women in exchange for life in prison without the possibility of parole. However, this book, written by local reporters, is an account of the search for the killer and about his victims, not about the killer who was still unknown.
In the early 1980s, there were a cluster of bodies found in an area close to the Green River in South King County, Washington; hence, the pseudonym, the Green River killer.
This book provides a detailed chronicle of the investigation that would take 20 years, beginning with the discovery of those few bodies, to the appointment of a task force, to an increasing body count. Most, but not all, of his victims were young women in trouble--runaways, prostitutes, women in the wrong place at the wrong time. They were mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends--and this book did profile each individual victim and provided a voice for the family and friends left behind. The reporters also profiled members of law enforcement, most of whom appeared decent and dedicated. This is a real police procedural but this is decades before CSI. These crimes occurred in the early 1980s when serial murder was still a fairly new concept in the popular culture and computers were just starting to be used by the law enforcement--it's the Stone Age of modern law enforcement."
