The riverman : Ted Bundy and I hunt for the Green River killer

The true story of the five year collaboration between Robert D Keppel, the Chief Criminal Investigator for the Washington State Attorney General, and serial killer Ted Bundy, who joined forces to try and track down a multiple murderer known as the Green River Killer. "After a search of over twenty years, one of America's most elusive serial killers was finally apprehended. Read the true story of one man's attempt to get inside the mind of the Green River Killer. July 15, 1982: 3 woman's strangled body was filed, caught on the pilings of Washington state's Green River. Before long, the "Green River Killer" would be suspected in at least forty-nine more homicides, with no end in sight. Then the authorities received an unbelievable letter from the infamous serial killer Ted Bundy -- then on Florida's death row -- offering to help catch the Green River Killer. But he would only talk to one man: Robert Keppel, the former homicide detective who had helped track Bundy's cross-county killing spree. Now these conversations are revealed, in which Bundy speculates about the motive and methods of the Green River Killer -- and reveals his own twisted secrets as well. Now, as never before, we look into the face of evil ... and into the heart of a killer."--Publisher description After a search of over twenty years, one of America's most elusive serial killers was finally apprehended.
