The Green River Killer Pt1

For many years, beginning in the early 1980s, Washington state had a serial killer on its hands. Sex workers went missing at an alarming rate, most of them were picked up around Pacific Highway South and found later, dumped, in the Green River. This is how the serial killer got his moniker as the Green River Killer. It would be many years later that authorities figured out it was Gary Ridgway.

Join Mike and Morf in part 1 of the story of the Green River Killer / Gary Ridgway. We explore his upbringing, his marriages, his first murder, and many more. Ridgway was one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. It will take a couple of episodes to unravel all of his murders.
