Chasing the Devil
Synopsis
Helen and Natalie, try to escape their rough "Bastard Out of Carolina" existence from a Seattle-area trailer park. Unbeknownst to them, the teens are on a collision course with Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer. Simultaneously, police detectives David Reichert and Ivy Emerson zero in on the most likely suspect, whom they later conclude is the wrong guy. Desperate for leads, Reichert consults convicted serial killer Ted Bundy, who offers insights into "GRK" claiming he may even know the identity of the Green River Killer. Meanwhile, a desperate Helen decides to turn to prostitution to escape her terrible home life. At the end of part Ooe, Helen rides off with Gary Ridgway.
Part two follows Helen's disappearance. The police finally zero in on Gary Ridgway (who is able to pass polygraph tests, amazingly) who may get off due to lack of evidence. Eventually, they are able to match paint and fibers from Ridgway's truck to some of the victims, and bring Ridgway to justice. Natalie learns that her best friend Helen was indeed killed by Ridgway, she was one of 21 of his victims who were never found.
