Tonight a special two-hour DATELINE FRIDAY: They leave a trail of victims and shattered lives. They unravel communities and bait investigators. They're ruled by dark minds and dark secrets. Tonight, KILL AND KILL AGAIN. Along a lonely stretch of river, body after body is found. A murderer is at work. His victims -- shown no mercy. It is the largest serial killing spree in U.S. history -- a two-decade mystery. There were dozens of victims -- hundreds of loved ones left behind. And one determined lawman. He had to be dedicated, because along with vital clues to a serial killer, came serious setbacks. But one thing that's never wavered: his commitment to those he's known only in death. DATELINE producer Peggy Holter says of Sheriff Dave Reichert, "What was impressive was his steadfastness. He stayed on the case for 20 years because he was determined to track the killer down for the families of the victims." But for all his brilliance and tenacity, Holter says, "Reichert isn't arrogant. He's soft-spoken and self-effacing and, despite the fact that his task force may well have caught the worst serial killer in our nation's history, he refuses to grandstand about it." DATELINE Correspondent John Larson reports on the Green River Killer and the man who'd stop at nothing to find him. And less than 300-miles away, DATELINE Correspondent Keith Morrison probes a murder spree that would haunt a city for years. One after another, women were turning up dead -- victims of a serial killer who left few clues. Who was he and could he be stopped? The answer would lead to a most unlikely suspect -- a man leading a double life, hidden from his family and friends. DATELINE producer Jason Raff says this story really lets you inside the serial killer investigation from the point of view of the suspect's wife and family, who spoke to DATELINE in an exclusive interview. "That's really unusual," says Raff, "and also heartbreaking because they simply did not know about the double life that their much loved husband and father was leading." So who was behind these murders and would families ever discover why the killer did it? KILL AND KILL AGAIN, a special two-hour DATELINE, beginning at 8pm EDT/7pm CDT tonight. --Dateline NBC http://www.Dateline.msnbc.com ========================================= This email is never sent unsolicited.
