The miniseries was named one of the top 10 television productions of 2008 by Variety and was twice nominated for a 2008 Gemini Award for best direction and for best costuming. Lifetime's premiere of The Capture of the Green River Killer delivered two million viewers, making it 10-year-old Lifetime Movie Network's most-watched telecast ever. Background The film is based on David Reichert's book, Chasing the Devil: My Twenty-Year Quest to Capture the Green River Killer. The film's biggest departure from the book is a fictional inclusion of two teenage girls, one of whom, Helen "Hel" Remus, is a young runaway who decides to turn to prostitution to escape her mother's abusive boyfriend, in a sympathetic storyline to honor Ridgway's victims. Detective Dave Reichert works the murder cases and stays on the case from beginning to end, including extensive interviews with incarcerated serial killer Ted Bundy. In the movie he and another officer face the killer, Gary Ridgway after tracking his truck down because it was seen picking up a missing woman.
