Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer
He confessed to killing 71 women. Gary would go from house to house talking about the Pentecostal church he attended. During his teenage years, he was about to stab a six-year-old child to death. Ridgway later confessed that he “wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone.” Of humble appearance, his hideous behavior was expressed through merciless hatred towards women. It is presumed that the cause of this hatred was his mother’s abuse of him and his father. After being arrested, he confessed to each of his crimes, describing them in detail. Ridgway used a photo of his child to attract victims. On November 5, 2003, a trial was conducted. He was sentenced to 49 consecutive life imprisonment sentences without parole. He avoided the death penalty by confessing his crimes, including some that hadn’t been attributed to him.
