On August 12, 1982, P.D.J. Meat Company employee Frank Leonard stepped outside for a cigar break and noticed the water churning strangely below the old slaughterhouse — then realized he was looking at a woman's body. By the time officers arrived, nearly the entire factory crew had gathered at the scene. King County Detective David Reichert, already a hardened veteran who had survived being stabbed in the neck multiple times while rescuing a trapped woman, arrived and found 21-year-old Deborah Lynn Bonner face down in the current, her hands raised as if waving or reaching for help. The last known sighting of Deborah was July 25th, when she left the Three Bears Motel to 'catch some dates.' The Bonner family pointed detectives toward her boyfriend Martin as a possible suspect. Barely had Reichert begun to pursue that lead when the next report came in.
Reichert had barely begun following up on the lead about Deborah Bonner's boyfriend when the next report came in — not just one body this time, but two. Then a third in the weeds. The killer was moving faster than any task force could track.
