Serial Killer on Mercer Island

The story of George Russell: Singles Bars Psychopath of Mercer Island has also been told in an A&E "City Confidential" series about crimes in places you wouldn't expect.

Here's what the NY Times Movie Review says:

A serial killer terrorizes a peaceful community in City Confidential: Sunny Days, Deadly Nights on Mercer Island. The island suburb of Seattle had hardly ever seen any violence. Populated by upper-class Washington elite, Mercer Island boasted a few bars and a smallish nightlife. But, the singles scene was large enough for one regular to murder three women before being caught. George Russell was finally apprehended after killing and sexually abusing a group of unsuspecting females. Mercer Island was shocked at the revolting and monstrous crimes. A&E explains how it made the Washington citizens doubt their safety for good.
