Green River Killer
Last night I couldn’t sleep and ended up watching the movie “The Capture of The Green River Killer” ( a Lifetime Movie ). Before seeing this movie I never realized how many women that guy killed. Even more than Ted Bundy. Over the years The Green River Killer Gary Ridgway killed 71 women. That’s OVER THREE TIMES as many women as Bundy killed.
Ted Bundy actually helped catch him. He told the main detective that they were overlooking the guy because they were following a wrong psychological profile. And that the reason these girls were going with the guy was because they trusted him. So that they should be looking for someone who didn’t seem like a killer. The FBI disagreed however, so they let the guy go after first interviewing him.
The main detective dedicated his life to the case and figured out it was Gary Ridgway back in the early 90’s. He started the case in the early 80’s, but due to the fact that back then they didn’t have DNA they had no evidence to arrest him on until 2001 when they could finally extract DNA from tiny amounts of semen. I can’t believe it actually worked on evidence so old.
I think this guy was by far the sickest of all serial killers. 71 women? Most of them were only between 16-18 years old, and I think only 30 something bodies were ever even found. He killed prostitutes because he said they were trash. The sicko even brought his son with him on one of the murders, and he killed most of them right at home in his bedroom.
