One of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history, dubbed "The Green River Killer," confessed to murdering 71 women in the Seattle area. Dave Reichert had reopened the case after being elected sheriff and succeeded in solving the case (thanks to scientific advances). To escape the death penalty, Gary Ridgway also agreed to reveal burial places of many victims not known to police. Bill Kurtis accompanies search teams which include Ridgway.
