This is a very different week on the podcast as we dive into true crime. I had the honor of interviewing Dave Reichert who recently retired as a US Congressman, before that serving as the King County Sheriff home to the City of Seattle. We talk about his life and time in public service, but focus mainly on his time as the lead investigator on the Green River Killer Task Force. This case was one that swept the headlines from the early 1980's to 2001 and involved a serial killer who picked up women, murdered them, and the dropped their bodies in the Green River from almost two decades. We talk about finding the first body all the way to capturing Gary Ridgway 19 years later after an estimated 80 plus women's lives had been taken, making him the most prolific serial killer in US history.

This is a powerful conversation, but a very serious and sometimes graphic one so listener discretion is advised.
