'Green River Killer: I Met My Sister's Killer': Release date, plot and all you need to know about the Reelz special
In the 1980s and 1990s, an American serial killer called the Green River Killer began targeting women and teenagers and killed over 71 of them. Most of the victims were alleged to be sex workers and other women in vulnerable circumstances, including underage runaways. It was not until 2001, however, that the culprit behind the name, Gary Ridgway, was arrested.
At the time of the killings, he confessed that he wanted himself to be the one with the highest number. He wanted to kill as many prostitutes as he could and it is estimated that he may have killed at least 90 women. It was another prolific serial killer Ted Bundy's tip that the killer would be revisiting the sites of the dump to have sex with the bodies that helped investigators to collect evidence and build a case.
A lot is known about the serial killer and it is very rare that the families of the victims would be willing to meet the person who killed their loved ones. But that is exactly what Jenny Graham did. She shares her story in Reelz's upcoming special, 'Green River Killer: I Met My Sister's Killer' where she will also talk about hearing his unexpected confession for an unsolved case. Read on to know more details about the special.
