Episode 6 - After just a couple of years at Western State, Warren Forrest convinces hospital employees to sign off on his release, but a judge must approve. While Forrest waits for the judge, the body of another missing young woman named Krista Blake is found. She was recovered just feet from where Norma Jean Countryman was hog tied. The detective investigating Krista’s homicide is the first person to see the pattern of missing and murdered young women in Clark County: could Warren Forrest be a serial killer?

Episode 1 - Sixteen-year-old Jamie Grissim leaves her foster home on a bitterly cold morning in rural Washington state. Before walking out the door, Jamie tells her sister, Starr, she’ll be home early because it’s going to be a short school day. But, Jamie never made it back home. Despite being reported missing to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office that night, December 7, 1971, law enforcement didn’t go looking for her. From the moment she disappeared Jamie is considered a runaway, despite evidence to the contrary.

On the banks of the Green River, the body of Wendy Lee Coffield is discovered in July of 1982, the first of many attributed to the GRK. Wendy at age 15 was seeking connection, desperate for love and safety, but instead encountered a remorseless serial killer.

Episode 9 - After 50 years, the cold case unit is still adding details to the butcher paper roll that Detective Mike Davidson tacked on the wall of the Clark County Sheriff's Office back in 1976. A timeline of crimes, Warren Forrest has both been convicted of and suspected of. Including the disappearance of Diane Gilchrist and the murder of Gloria Knudson. Both young women matched his type and modus operandi. Could forensic sweepings collected back in the 1970s from Warren Forrest's van connect him to more cases? And possibly another murder charge? Or push him into a confession. After more than five decades, the eyewitness who claimed to have seen a woman tied to a tree in Dole Valley around the time Jamie Grissim went missing has been found. Could he help a K9 team narrow down the search for Jamie Grissim if her remains are in Dole Valley?

Episode 5 - In a shocking turn of events, Warren Forrest isn’t charged for his crimes against Norma, and he is found not guilty by reason of insanity for his crimes against "Susan." Forrest is committed to Western State Mental Hospital in January 1975. A few weeks after his arrival, a fellow Western State patient, Karen Wiles, is found murdered nearby. Despite her murder matching Warren Forrest’s MO, he isn't investigated as a person of interest.
