Amish Grace (2010) (TV)

When a gunman killed five Amish children and injured five others in a Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania schoolhouse shooting in October of 2006, the world media attention rapidly turned from the tragic events to the extraordinary forgiveness demonstrated by the Amish community. Through the eyes of a grieving mother, Ida Graber, and other devastated families, this movie explores the Amish's astonishing reaction to the horrific shootings - of forgiveness and compassion.

I just checked and was pleased to see that LMN is not airing the originally scheduled movie "Amish Grace" (about a school shooting) at this time. I hoped that programmers would think better of this in light of today's horrific tragedy.

A Seattle-area detective (Tom Cavanagh) doggedly pursues a serial killer who targets prostitutes and dumps their bodies in the Green River. Based on the actual case, which spanned two decades. Amy Davidson, Sharon Lawrence.

Over nearly 20 years, Det. Dave Reichert of the King's County Sheriff's Department investigated a series of brutal murders by a serial killer who became known as the Green River Killer after the location where some of his early victims were found. All the victims were women involved in prostitution. The police used the tools available at the time including an FBI profiler. They even interviewed serial killer Ted Bundy who was on death row at the time and offered his insight into the killer. Several men came under suspicion and were interviewed at length and at one point, Reichert was convinced he knew the identity of the killer. It was not until DNA matching came into being that they had the evidence to proceed. The killer eventually admitted to killing 71 women.
