LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Ed" star Tom Cavanagh will play a cop on the trail of America's deadliest serial murdered in the Lifetime Movie Network miniseries "Desperate: The Search for the Green River Killer."

The four-hour project follows two teen girls from a Seattle-area trailer park who cross paths with the infamous killer.

It is based on the book "Chasing the Devil: My Twenty-Year Quest to Capture the Green River Killer," by Sheriff David Reichert, the lead investigator on the Green River case.

Cavanagh will play Reichert, who navigated a number of suspects and false leads over two decades until he zeroed in on Gary Ridgway, who ultimately pleaded guilty in 2003 to killing 48 women, mostly prostitutes and runaways.

Amy Davidson (ABC's "Eight Simple Rules") portrays Helen "Hel" Remus, one of the serial killer's early victims and narrator of the story. Also on board are Sharon Lawrence ("NYPD Blue") and James Russo (AMC's "Broken Trail").

I found this thread by accident and the words "Green River Killer" caught my eye. That was BIG news in Washington State. I think the movie has already aired, but this guy is nausiating! OMG, he is just sick to kill all those women! My husband seemed fascinated with the case, and I think he was disappointed that he missed the movie. I didn't realize that Tom Cavanaugh was in it, though. I'll have to see if it comes on again or if it's going to in the near future.
