About this episode
The episode discusses the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway, and his evasion of capture for nearly 20 years before being identified through DNA evidence.
For nearly 20 years, the Green River Killer hunted women around Seattle while police chased dead ends. In 2001, DNA finally exposed the man behind one of the largest serial murder cases in U.S. history: Gary Ridgway. He confessed to 49 murders but investigators believe the real number may be higher. This is how he avoided capture for decades, and how he was finally brought down. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/outlaws-gunslingers--4737234/support .
