Green
River Homicide Victims
In July and August of 1982, the bodies of five young
women were found in or near the Green River in south King County,
Washington. It soon became evident to investigators that there was a
"serial killer" actively operating in the King County area. Over the
last 21+ years, detectives have worked through thousands of tips,
followed up on missing women cases, collected thousands of pieces of
evidence, and eliminated potential suspects.
