Summary

With few new leads, the investigation into the Green River killer drags on. The killer has either reduced his frequency of killing or, as some believe, may have moved to a new location. or even died Budget cuts lead to cuts in the task force until it's reduced to Dave Reichert and Faye Brooks. Dave refuses to give up however and reviews boxes and boxes of evidence. Using a tip he received from serial killer Ted Bundy, Dan is certain he's found a pattern with one of the suspects they've previously interviewed but still has no physical evidence that ties him to the murders. Not until 2001 does the science of DNA matching give him the proof that he needs to make an arrest.
