The Most TWISTED Case You've Ever Heard | Documentary

[@BIueCat]

He passed the polygraph because he doesn’t feel emotion like the rest of us do. He wasn’t distressed so nothing showed up.

[@ritawashere5787]

You are exactly right! I just Googled him and he wet his bed till he was 13 and every time you did his mother would wash his genitals, and he had all kinds of feelings about that. I wet my bed until I was 13 is well and kids wet their bed because of abuse. I was molested from a very young age I have a feeling Gary was molested by his mother. It's very strange to wash your 13 year olds genitals. I didn't do that with my thirteen-year-old daughters. Also when Harry was 16 he stabbed a six-year-old, he said he did it because he imagined stabbing his mother. I think everything's routed around her, and that could be why she use sex workers and had an insatiable appetite for sex. Kids that are molested sometimes grow up to be molesters themselves.

Polygraphs are ridiculously easy to pass even if you aren't a crazy person. Even just putting something in your shoe to press your foot on like a penny could cause you to trick the test. They're a joke junk technique.

[@CrappyEntertainment]

The fact that they needed Ted Bundy to help them was mad.

[@TeddyLovesAxl]

He wasn’t much help but it was good idea in theory 👍🏻

[@BrotherMarkinter]

I am not sure Bundy didn't help much. He was certainly spot on in his analysis on who the killer would be and his certain behaviors/characters. It didn't catch Ridgeway sooner but I an pretty certain it contributed to him remaining near the top of the suspects list for a long time.

[@jasoncoleman8133]

You'd be surprised how often LEOs talk to criminals that have similar crimes to fugitives. The best way to find a fugitive for serial killing to get in his mind. Second best way is get have a similar person be the mind you're trying to get in. They think alike, and committed very similar crimes, in a similar manner.

[@BrandonSutton-ub5cf]

Well if I'm correct, didn't the detectives and I forget the name of the detective who was so I guess you could say close to Bundy asked him to help and the detective team had a second goal that was their main goal and that was for Bundy to divulge any details about other murders HE may have possibly committed because we true crime people know how self centered Ted Bundy was. So maybe he would have have gone on about ways he would do it and reveal even more murders he committed because at that point the detectives were just trying to recover the bodies for the families and a proper burial. That's why they "asked" for his help. And of coarse Bundy said he could help even beforehand because he was trying to do everything he could to delay his execution.

[@MyName-yl2nc]

​@@TeddyLovesAxlexactly people think Bundy broke the case or something but he really wasn't shit for help

@@sophie4636 Yes, this. I'd end up with smoke pouring out of my ears just from anxiety alone. I have a hard enough time not holding my breath when they use those blood pressure cuffs on me. I can't imagine trying to answer questions in what would have to be a very tense serious situation, terrified that being _freaked out_ is going to be perceived by everyone in the room as lying when I'm not. My blood pressure runs fast to begin with, add that to the mix & I'd be in trouble.

[@thehangingparsiple5692]

I was surprised to read that polygraphs are a lot more accurate nowadays - over 83% apparently. A well trained polygrapher will adapt his questions to suit the subject's baseline behaviour and so cancel out any false readings. The results are actually sometimes admissable in a court of law

I honestly don’t like the death penalty because your doing what they did to those people. Just put them on life without parole. And let them rot in jail for the rest of their lives. They should just have a facility/section (idk what its called) for murderers and pedophiles. And they have no way to get special treatment. (Absolutely no exceptions) I think that would make it more simple and we wont be wasting our tax dollars on people who are waiting to get executed.

[@My-SnowWhiteQueen]

Could say the same about BTK’s wife as well. Hard to believe they had absolutely no idea the entire time. But, that was a different time I suppose. Wives didn’t question their husband’s whereabouts so much. If my husband started going out late and staying out all hours of the night, AND I found bras and panty hose of his in a ‘hidden stash’ ohhhh we’d be talkin’!!!!!! Actually, there’d be No talking involved. I’d wait for him to ‘leave for work’ and I’d pack our ‘go bags’ and get the effff outta there. There is literally no excuse or answer he could give me that’d make any sense lmao!!!

[@MidnightSonnet]

It was honestly the best idea at the time to ask Bundy for help. From one serial killer to another, he'd have far more insight on the mindset of any other serial killers. Hearing his voice was absolutely crazy. I was born in 82, so i was too young to know what was going on. But i do recall my parents, especially my mom, paying close attention to the news whenever there was an update on the Green River Killer. We lived states away, so there wasnt a threat to us, but still. I remember years later when mom told me how disappointed she was that police couldn't find him. She was ecstatic when they finally did. 80-90 victims is insane. Unlike Ted, Gary was way more unassuming and average, both in behavior and looks. Ted's narcissism makes him stand out. His eyes are especially creepy. Gary, however, reminds me of every adult man i encounteted in the 80s and 90s. It's sad that he was able to get away with it for so long. Those poor girls. Did he ever say why he stopped killing and why he decided to get married and start a family? I know he only killed prostitutes, but being so far deep into APD as he was, I'm not sure why he'd want to.

[@NoxCattus]

I've read speculation that it was just life keeping him too busy for it. Most of his killings took place while single or after he had gotten divorced. I always found it interesting that he didn't keep trophies-pretty sure he's the only one I know of that didn't...

[@TeddyLovesAxl]

It was a good idea in theory to ask Bundy to help, although he wasn’t much help 🤷‍♀️

[@djcastano1180]

Gary* and he didn’t stop. He was still prowling and looking for victims all the way up to his arrest.

[@NoxCattus]

@@djcastano1180 the last victim he confessed to was killed by 1993 at latest, the last he's suspected of but was never charged in killing was in 1991. Where is evidence he was killing up until being caught? Not to mention, he even told people he stopped due to his love for his third wife....

[@djcastano1180]

The most frightening thing is how normal he sounds you can clearly see how he managed to manipulate his victims the way he did in fact its how so many serial killers manage to lure their victims by manipulation and fluttery which makes them all the more dangerous

It's amazing how much you covered in something that had to be cut to YT specifications! Y'all do an amazing job, and one of the things I love the most about y'all and Casual Criminalist is that the victims aren't just names or numbers - they're people who had families. Y'all also make sure that I can always follow what our narrator's lovely voice (and other less pleasant ones on recording) says; I'm Hard of Hearing, and I'm used to feeling overlooked and ignored by most content creators - of literally every form of video media - but here? I never hesitate to click on an EWU crew video because of fear that I might just get frustrated being unable to follow what's being said. To be included in default, and not as an afterthought or pseudo-inclusion (if we can't read the captions, they're as good as not there...) It feels good. Validating. So, from this disabled and HoH system (DID) with a deep love of history, psychology, storytelling, and puzzles, thank you for making your content readily and immediately accessible when so many others do not. Knowing that pulling up an EWU video if there's anxiety or insomnia is always an option, and that there is always something new to explore with you, means more than mere words can convey. Thank you.

[@AmyAndThePup]

I really appreciate what you said here. i'm blind and hard-of-hearing (moderate hearing loss with some frequency ranges severe and mild). I can't read subtitles, even if they're accurate, and a lot of videos, with background music, poor microphone placement, simply not professionally recorded because people don't have resources, makes it hard. I understand that not everyone has the knowledge of how to make such high-quality recordings. The interrogations, nine times out of ten, I end up skimming, on any true crime videos, because they're extremely difficult to follow. There are a few good recordings out there, though, and this channel is wonderful with its narration. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for thanking EWU. :)

I knew Ted Bundy, he was twenty years older than me. I've heard of the Green River Killer but I never knew his name and really didn't know what his crime was. It is interesting to see how they spoke with Ted Bundy to get some insights so they could profile a killer. I know I've heard where former home burglars have served their time in prison and once they're released they work for the police. At least Ted Bundy had something decent to share even if it wasn't altogether helpful. It gave everybody but more time just to study how he thinks as well because you got to hear him speak freely.

[@DesertSonsOfTheHolyFaceOfYasu]

I can't say for sure but I truly believe Bundy's ego was not only stoked by the feds asking for his help (which of course has been done many times with other killers and makes sense) but I think Bundy got off on not only being asked but being able to see the same type of gruesome killings (bodies) pics, remains, clothing/evidence, I think he enjoyed seeing those things and allowed him an outlet to further fantasize about killing and necrophilia; I don't believe he helped in any way other than for his own sick gratification even possibly wishing or thinking "how lucky" this other creep was for still being out there being able to do what he loved doing and was already caught for. I mean his sickening laugh when asked if a guy like this could or would stop says so much about Bundy's own demonic brain, behavior, way of thinking and his actions.

@@ritawashere5787 Mental illness plays a factor in intelligence. There's also different types of intelligence that factor into that score. One can be very adept at formulaic systems like math, but lacking short-term memory retention they can forget what they're doing mid-equation. One can have a photographic memory but lack the emotional stability to recall that information reliably. It may be that the killer was incredibly adept at their crimes, well-spoken, maybe even well-read, but with impairment to process information rationally also comes the impairment to utilize that intelligence in beneficial ways. Basically, being crazy can massively impair raw intelligence.

I've always found it interesting how Gary considered and/or referred to his victims as "dates." Out of all the serial killers I have researched and/or become familiar with throughout the years, to this day, he is still the only one who took that particular approach. Once the woman he was "dating" was no longer of interest to him (or in his case, no longer existed), it was merely time to move on and find another "date" -- as if he was playing the typical "dating game" that everybody is familiar with -- only, his version of "ghosting" an incompatible date was taken in the most literal sense imaginable. This, combined with his awkwardly mellow yet brutally revelatory demeanor most certainly enhances the disturbingly sinister nature he portrays. The dictionary definition of the word "creep" and/or "creepy" should come equipped with a picture of this man's mugshot.

When my mom was around 12-14ish in the early/mid 80’s… she used to try to dress older and wear heavy makeup (80’s style)- she even had one of those… stick things you put your cigarette on because she thought it made her look older* and fancy* 🧐 It was around this time she was waiting at a bus stop in our small town in W. Washington- a man in a pick up truck stopped and asked if she needed a ride, and my mom told him she did. She got in the car with him and instead of him taking her home, he starts driving down a super rural local road. She asked him what he was doing and he said something about needing his wallet and he forgot it at his house- Then he pulls over on the side of the road where there are dense woods, and he told her to take off her shoes and walk into the woods. My mom doesn’t talk about this much, but she said he had rope and he was talking about wanting to tie her to a tree. She was leaned down untying her shoes slowly, and then the headlights of another car came down that road and the man told her to duck and hide but in what was probably my mother’s single only moment of self preservation she has ever had in her life, she instead darted out into the middle of the road and waved down the car and the unknown man sped off in his truck. The police were called and members of the GRK task force came around collecting evidence, bagging cigarette butts, etc- they even brought a sketch artist from Seattle. My grandma always said the detective or whoever she was talking to told her he believed she was very lucky to still have her daughter alive. When Gary Ridgeway was arrested, my grandma looked up his name in the phone book and wouldn’t you know it- the road he was taking my mom down has Ridgeway’s living on it. Apparently (from what I’ve heard) he has family still living in our area. Maybe it was him, maybe it wasn’t, but definitely gives me chills to think about, either way.

There’s a reason Ted was the perfect candidate to contact for help. Ironically he’s from a time period where he’ll actually provide assistance to law enforcement agencies unlike the majority of other individuals they could have contacted for support in this “community”

[@MakeupMobster]

This is beyond sick. He went back afterwards…. That is unfathomable. I cannot even understand how anyone can even think to do such a thing to a human body. The detective thinks removing the jewelry from the bodies is the weird part of all of this? Honestly that is the least weird part in all of this.

[@WakeyWakeyEggsandBakey]

I Agree. Removing jewellery seems an obvious way of hindering identification of these women and rather than being weird seems logical, calculated and probably quite common especially among serial killers. When we compare and contrast these older cases with newer cases it's interesting and quite amazing how far LE had come in their methods and investigation techniques. I appreciate that we now have improved tech such as dna testing, video surveillance and digital forensics (all of which making being a serial much more difficult) but even so, it's quite fascinating to observe the evolution of the methods.

[@buzzin-hornet]

@@WakeyWakeyEggsandBakey The taking of the jewellery is a way of them taking something they can keep them as ‘trophies’ and as a way to remember each victim and re-live each crime. Sick & Scary!

[@Brenda-qe2ug]

I agree - the police thought removing jewellery was odd - how about murdering someone! I think serial killers should be kept alive for exactly the reason Ted Bundy was - to assist and help understand their mentality.

[@ritawashere5787]

Hearing about the younger girls being murdered is really sad. They might have grown up in rough homes, runaways, or maybe just drug addicts, and this is what they had to do. It's not that I don't feel bad for the older ones that are around 30, it's just the younger ones that really had no idea the danger they were putting themselves in. The older gals had probably been doing that work for a long time and had probably had to fight their way to survive more than once.

The fact that you chose to produce an entire video on Gary Ridgeway aka The Green River Killer is awesome. Most people aren't even familiar with him or his crimes, which blows my mind bc he is literally the most prolific serial killer in US History, with the exception of H.H.Holmes. Giving people access to the necessary information pertaining to the major serial killers of our time is a must. Please continue uploading new content, especially videos pertaining to the most notable serial killers from our past. I would like to suggest the next to be about Ted Bundy, since there was multiple mentions from him in this latest video and bc he is probably one of the most notable killers in history

[@jennajune2101]

He’s very well known. Not sure who you know that isn’t familiar with him.

[@Brenda-qe2ug]

This video shocked me and I am a 70 year old woman in the UK. I have never heard of this guy and am surprised at how ordinary he looks, and how (I hate to say) nice he sounds. We all need to know more about this type of thing. And Ted Bundy - I would also appreciate a video on him.

[@Strype13]

For the record, H.H.Holmes is not nearly as prolific as many people think. I suggest doing a bit more research on him. There is an incredible amount of misinformation out there, stemming from a single book that got almost everything wrong yet continued to be rehashed all over the web. In reality, he is empirically known to have killed seven people. Nowhere near "over 100" as many uninformed internet sources like to suggest.

[@Anothermachine]

Not to split hairs but the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history is Samuel Little aka the choke and stroke killer with 93 murders credited and more than 50 bodies confirmed.

[@86yourhopes]

[@docsalty9679]

It’s crazy to think about. I was still pretty young, around 7, but I remember Gary. My family and I were neighbors with him, always seemed like a nice guy. I remember my parents and landlord speaking with Kiro when he was finally caught.

What scares me most is how accurate was Bundy on the desc of the guy, it made me think of the show criminal minds, he was so spot on like he could've been in BAU

[@ROYALRAT123]

A lot of the girls he killed weren't even 18 so it frustrates me when he refers to them as women, I just know those girls even the women had a hard start in life probably kicked out of home or suffered abuse and had to find a way to get by. So fucking sad

I'm sad for all of Gary's victims and especially sorry for Marie. Imagine having a "boyfriend" follow around the truck that carries the woman he love to some secluded place knowing what she had to do to get money to most likely support the both of them. He was a weak link and couldn't even do something so simple as keeping up with the damn truck. R.I.P Marie and all the others. I wish you had experienced someone that truly love you. That could have made a big difference in the way she lived and carried herself.

Unfortunately, it's really not surprising that people like him see his victims as objects instead of human, when the entire society, especially law enforcement, treat them as subhuman. Law enforcement terrorizes them instead of protecting them.

[@juliana.x0x0]

Yes, it's so sad to see the most desperate and vulnerable people in society, having often lived through extremely traumatic childhoods, being continually degraded and dehumanized, often prosecuted and re-victimized for simply doing what they can to survive. We need to have so much more empathy and compassion for people who have found themselves in impossible circumstances.

[@Ready-ForTheEnd]

​@@juliana.x0x0 In America you don't have to sell your body for money. You have way more options and opportunities

[@juliana.x0x0]

@@Ready-ForTheEnd I can't fault you for not directly being able to understand someone's situation if you haven't lived it, but damn, shame on you for having such a narrow minded assumption that you think that everyone's situations fit neatly into your solutions and moral template. There is so much complexity within the human psyche that changes a person's perspective and even structure of their brain. You are not the omnipotent authority on morals and social interaction, and you don't get to decide what is right and wrong, because you don't know all of the information to make that judgment, and often things fall within a grey area somewhere in between the two extremes. I'd suggest taking a step back and trying to understand that there is more to the world than your own experiences and some people find themselves making a choice you couldn't fathom making yourself, in part due to external factors outside of their control. Or maybe it is because of choices they made, or somewhere in between both of those scenarios. But in the moment people do what they have to, to get their basic needs met, and there is not always a quick fix for that and you have to make compromises. It is obviously not a preferable situation. Most people that have all their needs met in the world would not voluntarily decide to be in that situation. But to assume you know what people should do for their own lives better than they do just shows how narrow minded and ignorant you are.

Of course we all judge others to an extent, it's human nature, and helps us navigate the world. I judged the fact that he was arguing a point around something he had no experience with, that perpetuated a negative stereotype. I didn't say he was a bad person, or judge his whole character based on that singular belief. I judged and challenged his beliefs, not him as a person.
