All the victims were prostitutes.

He buried them or left their bodies in these little clumps in the woods.

The killers seemed to have placed the bodies as if they were mannequins.

And in January of 1984, the Green River Task Force was formed, and my father was recruited to the task force.

So Jeff wrote this book because his father, Tom Jensen, was one of the lead detectives tracking Gary Ridgway.

He ultimately spent 17 years searching for this man.

In December of 2001, my father and his colleagues make the arrest.

DNA testing matched him to the crime.

They arrest Gary Leon Ridgeway.

And on June 13, 2003, Gary was secretly taken out of his jail cell and brought to a sort of very nondescript

concrete, ugly office building.

And over the next six months, from June to early December, it was Tom's job to get Gary to open up and give up the few details that they really needed to link him certifiably to all these crimes.

So every day they would bring him into this conference room.

And interrogate him.

What have you remembered since we last talked yesterday?

He would deny things.

He would obscure.

He would dance around things.

He didn't really want to cop to everything that he did.

I got to tell you, I'm not totally comfortable that you're providing all the information.
