The Capture of the Green River Killer

Yesterday I can't sleep so I went downstairs and turned the TV on. Luckily, I found a nice movie to watch and the title was eye-catching. Since I love crime films, I decided to entertain myself watching it. So the film is a 2-part movie that tells the story of the notorious Green River Killer who murders young prostitutes from time to time in the late 1980's. It is based on Sheriff David Reichert's book, Chasing the Devil: My Twenty-Year Quest to Capture the Green River Killer. 

This movie revolves mostly on the two characters "Helen" Remus and Detective "Dave" Reichert. Helen is a young girl who runaway from home to escape from her mother's boyfriend and became a prostitute later on. She died on the last part and was the first victim whom the killer faced while strangling her to death. Detective Dave is a very hard-working county officer who works with the murder case for 19 years and as a leader of the team he didn't let go of the case and never bring down the victims and their family. He tried his best to capture the serial killer "Gary" Ridgway until he reach the end.

It was a not-so-good film but it caught my interest. Finding the real killer was so hard for them due to lack of evidence. Detective Dave was right that he can't simply put a man behind bars for a single lie. There must be a preponderance of the evidence to prove that their accusations were right. The ultimate mistake he did was an act of negligence. He overlooked a single clue that will lead to them to the true murderer. That's the reason why it took them 19 long years to capture the serial killer.

Obsession in sex  was the root of the killer's idea to kill young prostitutes. Since they can be bought, he can simply take away their lives and throw their bodies in the river because no one will care if they die. But his assumption was wrong, 'cause the authority cares much about the victims and they want justice for them. Gary killed 71 women..What a record-breaking kills!!!hehe:D..The killer was wise though and he really don't want to get caught but there's a saying "everything comes to an end" and he paid the price with no chance of parole...
