His crimes were characterized by extreme violence, post-mortem mutilation, and the grotesque posing of his victims' bodies.

Between June and August 1990, George Russell committed a series of heinous murders in the Seattle area. Each crime involved sexual assault, mutilation, and the deliberate staging of the victims' bodies to shock and horrify those who discovered them.
