In Pursuit of the Green River Killer: My Search for the Murderer of 49 Women

This hunt lasted almost twenty years. It all began with the discovery of three female bodies near the Green River in the suburbs of Seattle in August 1982. Soon, more remains of women subjected to sophisticated and sadistic abuse would be found. Teenage girls, runaways or prostitutes — for the faceless killer, they were all easy and vulnerable prey. Over the years, he killed forty-nine women — more than any other serial killer in U.S. history. And for all twenty years, Sheriff David Reichert was on the killer’s trail. The killer always managed to stay one step ahead of Reichert, local authorities, the FBI, and even another notorious maniac, Ted Bundy, who became interested in the bloody work of his copycat... But the sheriff was confident that he would find the Green River Killer, no matter how long it took... That day came in 2001, thanks to DNA analysis linking the suspect to three victims. With shocking insider revelations and gripping forensic details of the most relentless hunt, this book reveals both the heart of true evil and the fearless efforts of one who devoted his life to fighting it...
