About this episode

The episode begins a series on Gary Ridgway, exploring his childhood, early warning signs, and the start of his killings.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we kick off our series on Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer! We covered this one back in 2019, came in under an hour, so we're doing it right this time. We start at the beginning, with Gary's childhood outside Seattle, the early warning signs, his time in Vietnam, and the religion he carried around right next to what he was actually doing. Then the killings, starting with the bodies that surfaced in the Green River in the summer of 1982. How he worked the strip along Pacific Highway South. The one woman who got into his truck and lived. And a task force that had Gary, by name, more than once, and let him drive off every time. https://www.necronomipod.com https://www.patreon.com/necromomipod Sponsored by BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com/necro Learn more about your ad choices.
