Green River puzzle master Kalin is back _ this time, he's in charge.(The Seattle Times)
SEATTLE _ In the early days, Bruce Kalin sometimes went to work prepared to dig _ for human remains.
As a young detective in charge of gathering evidence on the Green River Task Force in the mid-1980s, Kalin, now 55, spent some of his time digging at "drop sites" where remains were found, searching for fibers, hair, teeth, fingernails or paint chips.
Today, he's back on the same case, but now he's the boss and comes to work in a suit and tie.
Kalin, a King County sheriff's captain, heads the renewed Green River Task Force investigating the serial killings of 49 women in the Seattle area since 1982.
Unlike the earlier incarnations of the task force, this new group of cops has someone to focus their efforts on: Auburn truck painter Gary Leon Ridgway. Ridgway, 52, is charged in King County Superior Court with aggravated murder in the deaths of four of those 49 victims.
Several pieces of potential evidence in the case against Ridgway sit on Kalin's desk in the task force's new headquarters in South Seattle.
