播音员:本期节目讲述了美国历史上最臭名昭著的连环杀手之一盖瑞·里奇韦(绿河杀手)的罪行。他在近二十年间杀害了至少71名年轻女性,主要目标是性工作者和离家出走的女孩。他的作案手法包括在西雅图地区诱骗受害者上车,然后将其勒死并抛尸绿河附近的树林。由于警方对这类案件的重视程度不足,以及当时DNA检测技术的限制,里奇韦得以长期逍遥法外。直到2001年,DNA检测技术的进步以及泰德·邦迪提供的犯罪侧写才最终帮助警方破案。里奇韦最终被捕,并承认了大部分罪行,但由于与检方达成协议,避免了死刑,这引发了广泛争议。 检察官诺姆·梅伦格:与里奇韦达成协议是为了获得真相,即使这引发了争议。如果继续进行审判,即使获得定罪,也可能无法解决所有案件,而达成协议可以确保所有真相大白。 法官理查德·琼斯:盖瑞·里奇韦被判处48个无期徒刑,不得假释,这体现了法律对他的严厉制裁。
