In the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, the Pacific Northwest was the origin of some of the country's worst serial killers. Ted Bundy.

Gary Ridgway. Robert Yates.

David Berkowitz. Could it be the rain and dark skies?

The possibly too convenient I-5 corridor from California to Canada? What about the Tacoma smelters that once emptied tons of lead emissions into the air?
