Three More Bodies: August 15, 1982 and the Serial Killer Confirmation

At 16:53 · chapter starts 11:54

Three days after finding Deborah Bonner, a rubber raft treasure hunter on the Green River came upon two nude women half-submerged along the bank. He spotted a young man on the shore who waved politely, then walked to a pickup truck and drove away. When Reichert arrived and walked the banks himself — crawling through tall weeds on his hands and knees — he came face to face with a third body: a teenage girl, partially dressed, her pants tied around her neck in the same fashion as Wendy Coffield's. The three victims were identified as 31-year-old Marcia Chapman, 17-year-old Cynthia Hines, and 16-year-old Opal Mills. At a press conference the following day, officials confirmed to the public that one suspect was likely responsible for all five deaths, making it official: there was a serial killer on the loose in the Tacoma area.
