Serial killer interviewer enjoys work
VYi NATCH! i Wash (API
Mike ()'Har;t lives a sort of
double life.
During the warm weal her
months. O'Hara operates a
Russian food booth at fairs
around tin? I';n >fit Northwest In between fair", and
during the red of the year he interviews serial
killers and their friends
The interview* are part of <) Mora s work .is a
researi her for |a< k Olsen, the dean of true < rune
writers and author of such books as Son A /’m
i liopoth ami Ih.% Vn fi/ris. Dor. Give a Hoy n loin
and Prviiolor
I wake up every day and ask what hat am I
putting on today." said O'Hara, who ran Ins kaleen
ka liootli in VVenatt hee during the rei ant Apple
Blossom Festival "They ‘re two complete!) differ
ent things I'm glad I'm a Gemini.
“There's something mentally intriguing with what
I'm doing right now and with whom I'm doing it.
he said
For the pasl war Olsen has been working on a
hook aUmt George Russell. u Hellevue serial killer
convicted in 1091 for the grisly murders of sev er
al Seattle-area women
O'Hara. H. has interviewed Russell, who hap
pens to Is- a lormer high school < lassniote. and about
two do/en other people i outlet ted with the i ase
I he (.7-year-old Olsen should finish the as-vet
untitled iKK.k later this year O'Hara said he'll begin
resean Ii soon on Olsen's next hook Olsen hasn't
itt-t ided vet what the suhjer! will he. hut O'Hara
sau! the Hainhridge Island author is i onsidering
three ( rime «.asi*s in Washington.
I feel lucky and blessed." O'Hara said "He
(Olsen) is head and shoulders ilbov e every one else,
lust work 114; (or him -- its ovvn n-w ard And to my
great surprise, lie likes my stuff
"I'll work with Olsen until the day lie's through
writing true «rime books - if he lets me - even
if it doesti t mean a dime That's how much it means
to me." tie said
I or a good part of his life, O'Hara has followed
other paths
As a child, the Gastine. Maine native lived in
New Irrsev and 1 lorida. mm mg to Washington witfi
his family in t'M.'l He graduated from Men er Island
High School in I‘t7t> ami attended Washington State
t ! diversify before landing a job with an insuranco
i ompany and getting married
(FHara soured on the insurance industry . how ■
ever, and eventually returned to Washington State
for a journalism c lass He began freelatn e writing
and then Us ante a reporter and editor with the IVil
‘The actions of these killers is
very repellent to me. If it
doesn’t get you in the heart,
then you’re missing
something.’
Mike O'Hara,
serial killer researcher
lr\ .Vensin Mon rue Ho also got divorced
In h<‘ started working for Pik«? Place Mar
ket Fish in Simula, a job that had O'Hara throw
mg fish ami shouting to shoppers
Liter that same war. he and .1 friend. Richard Bar
rett. dm idi*d to enter the food-coni ession business.
Barrett s mother, Fvdin Barrett, owns Kaleenka
Restaurant near the Pike Place Market and operates
small Booths at Seattle festivals.
They have two booths today and attend about 12
fairs a year
O'Hara hooked up with Olsen in 1901. When
O'Hara learned Russell had been charged in three
murders he dts ided to v\ rite a hook, in part because
he was an ai quaiiltance of Russell's during high
school The murders were partii ularly gruesome.
The women were either strangled or bludgeoned
and then left in posed positions
Hut a family friend, who also happens to he
(llsen's agent, informed O'Hara that Olsen was inter
ested in the same case The agent arranged lor the
two to contact each other It was then that () Hera
agreed to help Olsen do researi h Shortly afterward,
t j'Haru began sending tlie author some of the more
than <>ot) pages of notes lie took during Russell's tri
al
"When lack Olsen gets into a storv. it's like an
elephant walking through a forest.'' O'Hara said
"And when an elephant walks through a lorest, you
either get trampled, get out of the wav or try to swing
by his tail.
"I tried to swing bv his tail."
In tlie future, O'Hara said he wants to continue
with the (air booth business and work for Olsen
The fair business satisfies his desire to be around
people.
O'Hara also would like to write his own hooks
some day. although ones with perhaps a more soi 1
ologica! or cultural bent than tfie true < rime types
"The .11 lions of these killers is very repellent to
me." (J'lfara said "II it doesn't gel you in the heart,
then you're missing something”
