Serial Killer Documentary: Gary Ridgway (The Green River Killer)

Gary Leon Ridgway, also known as the Green River Killer, is an American serial killer. He was initially convicted of 48 separate murders. As part of his plea bargain, another conviction was added, bringing the total number of convictions to 49, making him the second most prolific serial killer in United States history according to confirmed murders. He killed many teenage girls and women in the state of Washington during the 1980s and 1990s.

I was a Seattle Police Explorer in my early teens (an affiliate of the Boy Scouts but more a police cadet program.) I was one of the Explorer volunteers and to this day I have never discussed what was or wasn’t found in our searches. I also believe that Ridgeway approached me as I was the point on a line a search (I was the one on the road while everyone else was in the trees and bramble), but who knows. After all these years some memories aren’t very reliable. I also have connections in my family to Ted Buddy. My memories of him were of us scaring each other to run home at night yelling, “hurry or Ted will get you!” My sister met him at the beach where he sat with her and her girlfriend (who was his type) and my Mom worked at the crisis pre enticing center with Ann. Oh my point is, you did an AMAZING job on your research. A lot of the information you included is not in other crime series shows. So kudos for your dedication to accuracy.

I understand your feeling - it sounds like they are assigning them to the habit than rather the rest of their life. I think, from what I know of this case, the intent is to show the theme, psychological origin, and method of Ridgeway’s crimes. In the bio of Ted Bundy they consistently called hiss victims “students”. which is true but not the only defining slice the women. If you look at John Wayne Gacy’s case, his younger male victims are also narrowly defined. I do agree that there is no real way to describe this situation without it being unpleasant, and that’s unfortunate.

[@davidmellish3295]

There is less of them now and they have a much greater chance if getting caught than back in the 70s/80s due to dna and forensic science and cameras, street camera, traffic cameras, shop cameras, home security, phone cameras etc etc Yes they are still out there but it's definitely harder for them to get away with it than in the past,in fact like this guy a lot have been caught many years after their crimes thanks to dna technology that wasn't available at the time

@Andrew Vidito indeed he did, it was the hate /love confliction for his mother, that drove him to kill these coed girls. He was failed by the system at 21. Once he’d killed his mom he basically turned himself in. He decapitated yes, he took his moms vocal cords and put them in the trash compactor, he screamed and shouted at it. Defiled her corpse and head. Threw darts at her head... plus much more. Oh Gary Heidnik and Jeff Darmer are another 2 fascinating subjects

[@Samurai78420]

Yea, this one stuck with me. I don't study in depth or have a ton of knowledge, but as someone who is intrigued by the subject matter, it got to me that he lived a pretty normal life otherwise. Cliche to say, but you really don't ever KNOW a person I reckon.

FINALLY! I’ve been wait for you to do GRK for a while now (even though I’ve never once asked in the comments)

[@itsjustlaurel1531]

I put this on the chat but I thought I would put it here too. I don't know do they post the same way? IDK but anyway. If you are interested in GR I recommend the book "Defending Gary." It's written by the defense attorney for the case. It has a different perspective. I know someone who went to school with him. She said he seemed like just a normal guy. I live in the area where this happened. Recently a Jane Doe was identified as Wendy Stephens, she was 14. So sad. Women are not disposable objects. I always think about father, Robert Rule, who forgave GR in court. During the sentence hearing GR remained emotionless as each relative spoke. Then Robert Rule said he forgave him. GR cracked and cried.

[@ispartacus1337]

Seemed to me like that father checked out a while before his daughter was even killed. He didnt care about her, let's face it. She was hooking, obviously her family life wasnt all that great if she turned to the streets. The father might have even been why. But I get the impression he was just soaking up his 15 minutes and didnt really care that his daughter was dead. If he didnt care when she was alive I doubt he started after her murder...

[@itsjustlaurel1531]

@@ispartacus1337 I just think that of course he loved his daughter. Just because he forgave GR doesn't mean he didn't love his child. Sometimes even people who are loved make poor life choices ie become a prostitute.

[@williamsummerson1204]

I swear the cops couldn't catch gary if he was standing right next to them and ultimately they did but it took them long enough. The reason they caught him was because he got sloppy. Most people that became cops was by getting a badge out of a cereal or cracker jack box.
