Mark Fuhrman, former cop, now journalist recounts the search for a serial killer in his region- Inland Northwest. He tells the story from his point of view- he has a radio show in Spokane, and this case was a regular topic.
The Serial Killer Task force was oddly secretive. It is widely believed that the more information released to the public, the more likely useful clues will come in. Spokane didn't work that way.
Spokane authorities did manage to catch the killer (a mild-mannered family man) but Fuhrman is very critical of them. He shows how they had the information to catch this guy 9 murders before they finally did.
Pretty interesting case, but disappointingly, has no photos...not even of the killer.
