LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Things may be cool in the west, but we have a story here where things are heating up. This is in a murder investigation in the Pacific Northwest. Authorities there believe that they have a major break in the so-called Green River serial killings case. Authorities say a 52-year old truck painter will be charged today in connection with four of the killings, and that there could be more charges to come in the future. Richard Thompson of KIRO has more on the story.</s>JOHN URQUHART, KING COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: Hair, blood, jewelry, souvenirs, maps, notes, anything at all.</s>RICHARD THOMPSON, KIRO CORRESPONDENT: In the past few days, as police have combed over Gary Ridgeway's current and former homes, they've taken many small pieces of potential evidence, and one very large item.</s>URQUHART: He does have a motor home, and, according to neighbors, at least, he did travel extensively in the motor home. And that's something that we're very interested in.</s>THOMPSON: Canadian investigators looking into the disappearance and murder of scores of women in Vancouver also want to know if Ridgeway took the motor home north of the border. But right now, King County investigators are focused on getting Gary Ridgeway charged for the alleged murder of four of the 49 Green River victims. Still, police say that is only the beginning. Over the years, more than 10,000 pieces of evidence were gathered at the Green River murder scenes, and now that investigators are completing the task of collecting evidence at Ridgeway's current and former homes, a new chapter in the investigation will get under way. Trying to match new and old evidence that could perhaps tie Ridgeway to additional victims.</s>URQUHART: We have go through them, probably physically, and look and see if there's any hope at all in matching them up.</s>HARRIS: And our thanks goes to Richard Thompson of our affiliate KIRO for that report.
