Chasing The Devil

Part 3 of the miniseries "The Capture of the Green River Killer" begins with the police station announcing the Green River Task Force which is dedicated to finding the killer of these unsolved murders of these young women. It's being reported that this murder investigation is the longest running unsolved serial case in history. The task force is being pressured to find a suspect. The task force goes back and looks at the previous suspects to give them another lie detector test. Still no suspect.

Helen did come back but was crying and had met Bobby who took care of her. She told him that she was taken by the Green River Killer. Bobby took her back to his house. She didn't want to go to the police.

In February 1984 (two years after the first killings), David received an anonymous letter with biblical quotes. David thinks the killer is trying to send him a message but doesn't understand yet. As of March 1984, nineteen women are dead and twenty-two women are missing. Searching the woods, David and the police find more remains of victims. Bodies are being discovered 30 feet apart from each other. As of April 1984, twenty-four women are dead and nineteen women are missing.

David hates finding all these victims and not having anyone in custody. He is becoming distant from his family and more determined in finding the killer. FBI agent, Seth, comes to help David and tells him he knows of someone who can help and who knows the mind of a serial killer. He is speaking about Ted Bundy. On November 16, 1984, David and Seth make a visit to the prison in Florida where Ted Bundy is being held. He tells them the killer is violent, he is very low-key, he could be single or married, wants the feeling of power and it's all about the hunt.

As of May 1985, twenty-nine women are dead and eleven women are missing. A few women come forward about getting away from the killer. One of the women give a description of the man who attacked her. On June 12, 1985, two victims are found. The bodies are identified as 24 year old Denise Bush and 26 year old Shirley Sherrill. As of June 1985, thirty-one women are dead and nine women are missing.

Helen decides to go speak with the police about what happened to her. She meets with David and explains the night she was taken. She tells him about the truck. The FBI inform David about a suspect, Greenwald, who fits the profile of the killer. They picked him up and the first words out of his mouth were, "What took you so long?" Now they think they finally found the killer and start celebrating but David has a feeling that this isn't the killer. Unfortunately, David was right. Greenwald was cleared due to lack of evidence and Joe Jakes had committed suicide so the police have to work extra hard to find another suspect. As of June 1986 (four years after the first killings), thirty-seven women are dead and five women are missing.

Helen isn't the same anymore. She is sad and depressed so she turns to prostitution. She is walking the streets until she sees the truck that picked her up. She starts chasing it but can't so runs up to a truck and asks for a ride and gets in. She is not seen again.
