A series of disappearances in 1980s Seattle targeted vulnerable women near the Green River, leading investigators to link the crimes through geography and similar injuries. Early leads stalled until DNA profiling in the 1990s matched evidence to a truck painter, revealing the Green River Killer’s identity. A plea bargain secured life sentences and victim‑location disclosures, prompting reforms in missing‑person protocols, forensic preservation, and advocacy for marginalized communities.
