Testing testing haha, stupid
everybody.
2
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:29,800
In serial killer country?
My name is Brittany.
3
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,800
Ransom, my name is Brian Joyner
and this is when Killers get
4
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,700
caught a podcast about deep,
dives into the lives, and psyche
5
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:37,900
to the Killer's.
We love to learn about each
6
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:39,600
week.
Brian, I find a True Crime Story
7
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,700
that resonated with us.
Then I'll discuss one,
8
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:43,100
well-known or lesser known
killer.
9
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:45,500
Go deep into their childhood
lives methodology.
10
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:48,600
And, most importantly, how they
got caught.
11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,900
Then we'll get a little spooky
and learn something about the
12
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,400
Cryptid through the
Supernatural.
13
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:57,500
And instead of talking about our
patreon, what, you know, about
14
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:59,900
every week, I guess we should
mention.
15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,400
That I was on TV, she's hot,
she's icky Last Friday Night on
16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,800
20/20.
I was consulted to discuss,
17
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:14,300
really more the way the
internet, handled Brian laundry
18
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:18,900
and the guy who Tito case, hmm.
It was a I did a three hour long
19
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:20,800
interview.
Yeah.
20
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:25,500
I was in a lot.
Roughly every 10 minutes, but it
21
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:32,200
was still significantly.
Dated my portion of it.
22
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:36,400
But regardless is really great
experience and hands down like
23
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,300
working with ABC, was quite
possibly the most, like group of
24
00:01:40,308 --> 00:01:42,300
professional people I've ever
dealt with.
25
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:44,000
We gotta, we got a TV star over
here.
26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,400
Now, not only Tick-Tock star but
a TV star, look at that.
27
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:50,500
But yeah.
So this week we're going to make
28
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:52,800
it a little bit different.
We're not going to do this
29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,500
weekend.
True Crime and instead I'm going
30
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:59,600
to jump right into part, two of
the Gary Ridgway podcast.
31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,900
And that's because I have a lot
to talk about when someone has
32
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:07,600
49 victims, it's very difficult
to talk about all of them as
33
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,800
they are unfolding and being
found in the case, which I
34
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,200
wanted to do.
Like I said last week, we talked
35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,600
about the mask of Gary Ridgway.
We learned about his bizarre
36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,700
childhood, his obsession with
prostitutes, his loves his
37
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,200
losses, his family and really
how he managed to pretend to be
38
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:26,800
a regular person while
slaughtering 49 confirmed
39
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,500
victims.
But definitely, they think it's
40
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:33,700
closer to 80 between 1982 and
honestly, originally, I said
41
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:37,800
between 1982 and 2001 but really
the majority of these were
42
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,100
between 1982 and 1984 with
Allah.
43
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,000
Alarming frequency.
That's a lot.
44
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,700
Yeah.
You said he was doing a lot when
45
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:49,100
his wife, no it was after he
broke up with his second wife
46
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:51,200
while he was still dating other
people.
47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,500
Little confusing to me.
Well, you'll find out that once
48
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:59,600
we get to the point where the
FBI psychiatrist talked to him
49
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,400
at the end.
But what we are going to talk
50
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,900
about though is the Forty Nine

65
00:03:57,100 --> 00:03:59,500
This was, I mean, this is
something that included hundreds
66
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:02,600
upon hundreds of people.
Yeah, oh my God, just to catch
67
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,500
this one guy.
I also want to make a point
68
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:08,300
before we begin and Gary
ridgway's, one of the worst
69
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:11,500
killers in US history, only
second, Samuel little and even
70
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:14,100
though Is serving 49 consecutive
life sentences.
71
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:17,300
This case is not closed.
There are still roughly 30
72
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:18,700
women.
They believe that he has
73
00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:22,100
conveniently forgotten where the
remains are still several Jane
74
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:26,600
Doe's, that the police force are
still working on today so that
75
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,500
those families have some kind of
closure.
76
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,400
And also, for anyone listening,
here's your trigger warning.
77
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,900
We're going to be referencing
sexual assault, necrophilia, I
78
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:39,800
tried not to go into too much
gory detail, but some of it had
79
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,300
to be mentioned for the sake of
the fact that Um, victims were
80
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:47,800
staged.
So we will start with the first
81
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,500
victim, it's July 15th 1982, a
group of children, actually
82
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:55,700
stumbled across the body of
Wendy Coffield voting in
83
00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:58,400
Seattle's Green River.
She'd been strangled after
84
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,300
several days, no one came to
identify her.
85
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:04,400
She was only 5 foot for about
140 pounds.
86
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,900
She was wearing on him jeans, a
lace trimmed blue and white
87
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:11,200
shirt and white sneakers.
The medical examiner was unsure
88
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,900
of her age.
Thinking she was a little bit
89
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:17,600
older teen to a younger adult.
And in the newspapers, they
90
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,500
originally listed her as 25
years old, which might have
91
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:22,800
explained by her family, didn't
come forward, because they were
92
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,500
like, that's not our daughter.
She was identified because she
93
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:32,000
had for rather dainty tattoos
and then one biker gang tattoo
94
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,400
woohoo.
When they release her tattoos to
95
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,700
the local newspaper.
A tattoo artist said, oh no,
96
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:41,600
she's not an adult she's about
16 years old, I think.
97
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:44,400
She lives in pole up with her
mother.
98
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,200
That's what I said last week and
he was last week and I said if I
99
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,800
go missing Look for My Tattoos,
good idea.
100
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,400
Like they put pictures in the
artist was like, oh yeah.
101
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,300
No, I did that.
Am I that yours will definitely
102
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:00,600
recognize.
She was like, oh yeah, I
103
00:06:00,608 --> 00:06:05,600
remember that guy.
Well, Wendy Coffield his mother
104
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,800
Virginia was sad but not really
all that surprised.
105
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:11,700
Her daughter run away from home
and she was worried that her
106
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:14,600
daughter was working the streets
and that she hadn't heard from
107
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,100
her because she was probably
killed by a John Wendy's.
108
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:20,400
Mom said that she had been a
pretty good girl and they done
109
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,000
the best they could, but when he
dropped out of school after her
110
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,100
parents divorced, got in trouble
with the law, she My often but
111
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:30,700
she usually came home.
The papers showed Wendy's
112
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:34,200
picture over and over hoping
anyone local would have any idea
113
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,400
where she'd been, or, who she'd
been with when she died, they
114
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,800
withheld the worst details
though which was that Wendy had
115
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,200
been choked with her own
panties.
116
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,900
It was a very violent death but
at the time it was only one.
117
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,400
Hmm.
So no one thought much of it,
118
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,000
right, right.
On August 12 1982 Debra.
119
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,300
Lynn Bonner was found about a
quarter of a mile from where
120
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:01,600
Wendy had been found.
She was nude and stuck in Nets
121
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,400
and logs in the water.
She was in the system, so the
122
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,300
police were able to place her
pretty quickly.
123
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,100
She was 22 years old, and she
had been picked up for
124
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:12,300
prostitution in the past, on
Pacific Highway South.
125
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,400
She'd been seen alive on July
25th, leaving the Three Bears
126
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,900
hotel, motel.
She told her friends.
127
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:21,600
She was off to catch a couple
dates, but she never came back
128
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:24,400
just like Wendy, Deborah.
Dropped out of school, she had a
129
00:07:24,407 --> 00:07:27,100
hard time finding work.
She tried to join the Navy but
130
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:31,100
couldn't pass the.
It's not just like a it's a
131
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:33,100
physical but it's also the
mental exam.
132
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:34,600
Yeah.
There's physical and mental exam
133
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,700
so she didn't pass.
It's actually it's rough when
134
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:41,300
you learn that.
Some of these people were really
135
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:45,300
struggling, but they were trying
because Deborah was in the
136
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:49,300
process of like starting to
study for her GED.
137
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,200
She was really trying to like
turn around and start.
138
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,300
Ash, but you do bills are still
coming.
139
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:57,600
Yeah.
You have to do what you have to
140
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,200
do to survive.
She actually had a thousand
141
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,600
dollar debt to Pierce County for
being arrested there previously.
142
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,000
And she had been paying it off,
like, $25 a week.
143
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:12,500
You almost paid it all God, she
paid $225 by the time she died.
144
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:17,200
She still called her parents
collect, like frequently.
145
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:21,300
She called her dad, just before
she went missing, ask him about
146
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:24,100
an eye operation that she had
and telling Him that she loved
147
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:27,000
him.
Her friends knew that she was
148
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,700
hiding from a boyfriend / pimp.
Who was a convicted killer
149
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:34,900
convinced that she owed him?
Thousands of dollars?
150
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,299
He was, of course, the sensible
option for the cops to focus on.
151
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:43,200
At this point, it would be
another year before they even
152
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,300
thought about Gary Ridgway.
So detective, Dave Richard
153
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,200
Reichert was put on the cases
with Bob Vila Maria and they
154
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,600
looked into both of them as two
separate murders that is until
155
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,700
August 15th.
When three more bodies were
156
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:03,000
found a local man was rafting in
the shallows of the Green River
157
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000
looking for Treasure and came
across Marcy Chapman who was 33?
158
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,800
She was floating in the shallow
water.
159
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,800
Next to the naked body of 17,
year-old Cynthia Hines, and not
160
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,900
far from them was opal Mills.
She went missing when she was
161
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:20,300
1600, people had gotten stuck in
some underbrush and her blue
162
00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:24,200
pants were tied around her neck.
She had bruises on her arms and
163
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,200
legs showing that she had fought
back Wendy Coffield, and Deborah
164
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,800
Bonners.
Murders, might not have mattered
165
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,200
a whole lot in the grand scheme
of Seattle, but three in one
166
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,100
day.
Yeah, absolutely.
167
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:39,600
In the same spot.
Why in the same spot?
168
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,700
Well, this was an as this the
dump site.
169
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,100
Yeah, he was coming back and
just dropping them off there.
170
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,100
But come on a little further
Downstream buddy.
171
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,200
Well, detective Dave called
Major Crimes immediately.
172
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:56,000
Hey, and so that major dick
kraske got the call on his pager
173
00:09:56,300 --> 00:09:57,500
and he knew it was something
bad.
174
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,400
Maybe because he never got calls
on a Sunday.
175
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,400
Now, he had been involved with
Ted Bundy.
176
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,300
Ted, Bundy's case, when they had
discovered all Ted Bundy's dump
177
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:11,700
site out in Issaquah.
So, his old boss was like, put
178
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:15,200
on your tie and your sport coat
and meet me.
179
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:18,900
So major craft put on his tie
and jacket and went out to the
180
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:23,300
Green River because he was like
we got another one God.
181
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,700
Now before these three women
were found the Bundy scene, had
182
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:29,500
been the worst thing that he had
ever seen.
183
00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:34,300
And unlike the first two which
more kind of like lackluster
184
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:38,900
body dump site, these were
hidden in like thick vegetation.
185
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:41,900
They were also all way down with
large Wok.
186
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:45,200
Rock that have been placed on
their chests and stomachs, the
187
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,000
placement was so precise that
from the road you couldn't see
188
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
the bodies.
So if that man had not been on
189
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,600
that raft, kind of just hanging
An out.
190
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,300
Yeah, floating through the
shallows.
191
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,500
They don't know when they would
have found those three bodies.
192
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,700
This is so no disrespect to, you
know, the victims.
193
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,200
But just, I just think of, like,
floating out of Susquehanna and
194
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:17,100
he really liked in the river.
And yeah, just of a sudden, you
195
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:19,400
see, like a naked body in the
water.
196
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,700
It's like, holy crap.
Crazy.
197
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:27,900
Yes, I'd be My mind, I don't
write du Helder but he's, I
198
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:30,500
mean, I feel bad that the first
people who found the first
199
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:34,200
victim were a group of children,
how Woods it's terrible.
200
00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:37,600
God asked for these three
victims Marshall was identified.
201
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,000
First she was 31 at the time
when she went missing, she was
202
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,600
doing as Tiny by her friends.
She had three kids who were 11 9
203
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,300
& 3 years old.
Whom she supported by escorting.
204
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,500
She left her apartment on August
1st 1982 and never come home
205
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,100
Cynthia.
It was named next.
206
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:57,700
She was 17 years old and
everyone called her cookie.
207
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,700
She also made a living on the
street.
208
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:05,700
She worked the tea sack strip
which is just where Marsha used
209
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:06,800
to hang out.
Cynthia.
210
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,800
Also had a pimp who kept her
safe and I say safe in quotation
211
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:17,400
marks because the problem with
these pimps and is that once you
212
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,600
got in the car, you were alone.
Yep.
213
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,000
He didn't follow them.
Nothing, you didn't write down
214
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,900
the name of the driver.
Ivers license.
215
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:29,000
Nothing bad pimps, actually told
the police, he'd seen her August
216
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,500
11th 1982 that she had gotten
into a black jeep.
217
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,600
He hadn't written down the
license plate.
218
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:38,100
What do you mean security?
How are you, taking a percentage
219
00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:40,200
of my business?
When I'm doing all the work?
220
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:45,100
Are you helping me or nothing?
That's terrible.
221
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:49,500
Terrible management.
Well, they learn the identity of
222
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:52,400
opal because they had drawn a
picture of her, as if she were
223
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,100
alive and put her in the
newspaper, Opals family was
224
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:59,100
devastated.
She had a mother father and
225
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:02,500
brother who all cared for her a
lot, they lived on the East Hill
226
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:05,800
outside of Kent Washington
Opals.
227
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,800
Mom told the police that they
had last seen her on August
228
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,400
12th.
The same day, the police were
229
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,100
finding Deborah Bonners body.
She'd left to go to Ooh, work
230
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:16,200
and she'd caught her parents at
three PM from a phone booth and
231
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,900
Angle Lake State Park telling
her mom that she had.
232
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:23,400
Gotten a job painting houses
with her new friend cookie the
233
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,200
other victim and he, they both
get picked up at the same time,
234
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,600
not see?
We're not sure.
235
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:38,700
So Both Cynthia and Marcia had a
history of sex work but opal did
236
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:41,900
not.
Like sometimes she would go like
237
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:44,300
stay at her friend's house for a
day and then she'd come home.
238
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:46,500
But that was the longest she'd
even been away from her parents
239
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:48,800
house.
None of her friends were like
240
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,300
they're like absolutely not she
would not have been doing and
241
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:53,900
you probably saw her hanging
around that right?
242
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:57,200
And he's not her with Cynthia at
one point and is since he knew
243
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,000
that Cynthia was working the
strip.
244
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:04,100
You obviously opal must be to,
obviously because you can't have
245
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:06,900
like regular friends that you
don't work.
246
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:09,900
Well then I'd have been murdered
by the Green River Killer
247
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,500
because I got a lot of friends
who have done sex work.
248
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:20,400
Unfortunately, in the queer
Community, a lot of people get
249
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,000
kicked out of their homes and
this is what they end up doing
250
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,700
is so I have a lot of friends
who ended up doing that as a
251
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:28,400
survival technique when they
were fairly young as well.
252
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,600
That's one thing that's going to
be pretty consistent with these
253
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,700
victims.
Has a lot of them are roughly 15
254
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:37,200
to 18 years old, which is
absolutely heartbreaking.
255
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:45,500
But another issue we have here
is that Ridgeway assumed that
256
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:47,900
like, almost every woman was
trash.
257
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:50,300
So, that's right.
You didn't have that heat,
258
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:51,100
right?
Yeah.
259
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:59,100
He hated women like, for real.
So, Who's like, right?
260
00:14:59,100 --> 00:14:59,800
You right.
You were right.
261
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,200
He might have seen her with
Cynthia Hines and thought, Oh,
262
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,400
look, she's hanging out with her
whole friends, but he also could
263
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,800
have just been like, I don't
care.
264
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,200
I'm picking up this girl
randomly, so who knows what
265
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,100
really happened.
The police tried their best to
266
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:16,300
keep like the worst details out
of the press.
267
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:21,300
The whisperings of a serial
killer in Kent, killing
268
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,900
prostitutes.
Was already happening.
269
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:29,200
I mean, got five bodies.
So yeah, And as these stories go
270
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:35,000
it's kind of I don't want to say
fun but it's you look at other
271
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000
people who are going through
something awful, and you don't
272
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,900
think it can happen to you.
And the prevailing thought in
273
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:44,800
all of the papers at the time
was if you're not a prostitute
274
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,900
thing, you're safe.
But we already see, that's not
275
00:15:48,900 --> 00:15:51,100
true because one of the five was
not.
276
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:53,200
Yeah.
So all you had to do was be in
277
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,400
the wrong place at the wrong
time and Ridgeway would kill
278
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,200
you.
Now, on the day after the three
279
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,800
bodies were, found it crashed
began putting together the Green
280
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:09,200
River task force wasted.
No time in the past.
281
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,000
You and I have mocked police
forces for waiting too long or
282
00:16:12,008 --> 00:16:15,300
going too slow, but that did not
happen here.
283
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:18,700
The initial task force had 25
investigators from King County,
284
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:22,500
Seattle Tacoma and can't police
offices kraske and his men had
285
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:24,200
no idea what they were about to
deal with.
286
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,000
But they had no idea.
This was a killing team, a solo
287
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:35,300
killer because recently there
had been a tool and so that was
288
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:37,900
a Duo even though that was a
weird sort of Duo.
289
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:41,300
But one thing that they did know
though was that the killer was
290
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:44,700
definitely some kind of smart
and willing to adapt his methods
291
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:48,100
in order to stay hidden because
the first two were found
292
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,700
floating down the river and He
adjusted his kill method very
293
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:56,900
quickly, his dump method, right?
So hiding them in like trying to
294
00:16:57,700 --> 00:16:59,700
pressure them down to the water.
Yeah.
295
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,100
Got you got smarter in terms of
his forensic countermeasures,
296
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:04,900
right?
They also realized that he was
297
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:08,300
going to have to find another
dump site now, which but they
298
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:10,500
were going to be working
completely in the dark.
299
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:13,599
Now, one of the details, they
did manage to keep out of the
300
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:18,800
press, was that All three who
had been found and the most
301
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,700
recent dumb site had rocks that
were wedged inside of them.
302
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,900
So tightly, they had to be
surgically removed.
303
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,100
This was the kind of thing that
knew that this crime had a
304
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:35,900
sexual element to it, they
couldn't tell if the women had
305
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:41,400
been raped like the first two
victims had but one thing you
306
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,800
learn when you look into lust
killers and things of that
307
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:50,300
nature is that sometimes when a
killer cannot perform, you have
308
00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:57,100
that kind of a response, right?
He might have done this after he
309
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:00,900
killed them in a moment of
anger.
310
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,100
And also to prove that he still
had some kind of virility hence,
311
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:10,900
why the the phallic symbol
phallic item was placed inside
312
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:12,400
the women, okay?
Okay.
313
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,600
But they all had been strangled.
The rest of August went by no
314
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,800
more bodies being found the
city.
315
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,500
Calm down a little bit and
people stop being anxious.
316
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,300
The girls on the street started
going back out alone again, the
317
00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:28,700
task force decided to use this
time.
318
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:32,300
When there was kind of a lull in
the active people joining the,
319
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:35,700
or the active crimes happening
to begin, looking into missing
320
00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:40,400
women, dating back to 1981 and
1982 and trying to see if they
321
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,300
had gone missing anywhere near
where these three women were
322
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:47,500
found.
The next woman who was found was
323
00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:51,800
Giselle love worn on September
25th when a biker was in the
324
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,700
woods and smelled her remains,
hmm.
325
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,200
She was found nude except for
men's socks, that have been tied
326
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,600
around her neck.
She gone missing on July 17th.
327
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,200
Just after her 17th birthday,
she was only in Seattle because
328
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,000
her boyfriend had convinced her
to leave California with him.
329
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:14,300
She'd actually decided to go
back home and be with her
330
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:19,300
family, but she ended up going
back to their place to get her
331
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:21,700
stuff and he convinced her to
stay.
332
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:26,200
Of course.
She ended up choosing to work
333
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,600
the strip in order to make some
money since she hadn't finished
334
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:34,900
high school either, despite the
fact that she had 145 IQ really,
335
00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:37,700
wow?
It's believed that she probably
336
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:41,100
hadn't been paying too much to
the news, or You to, you know,
337
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:43,900
realize what was going on.
She wasn't from the area.
338
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:47,600
Her boyfriend leader told the
press that he tried to report
339
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,400
her missing but the police
ignored him but he was actually
340
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,900
wrong, they did add her to the
missing women from for the Green
341
00:19:56,900 --> 00:20:01,100
River case, hmm.
Giselle was the first victim to
342
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:04,000
show that Ridgeway had changed
his dump site.
343
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,500
And he had escalated from just
strangulation to necrophilia
344
00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:14,800
Which we know from last week was
something that he was going to
345
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,200
start struggling with because
that was the part that he found
346
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,000
to be the most revolting, which
is so interesting because we'll
347
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
find like later on when he ends
up finally talking to the FBI
348
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,300
psychiatrist.
There's so many things that he
349
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:34,600
admits to that are very foul
words.
350
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:40,000
I didn't even know existed.
Oh, new vocabulary vocabulary.
351
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,300
Yay.
Thing that made him go.
352
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:45,600
You know what I'm crossing the
line here having sex with bodies
353
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,200
that I murdered already just
wow.
354
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,000
Yeah, I don't get that.
Just no.
355
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:54,000
Well by the time, Giselle was
fat in September.
356
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,800
The task force had interviewed
over. 300 people.
357
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,900
They had made a request to the
behavior science unit of the FBI
358
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:04,100
for a consult, the only two that
could be linked together where
359
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:06,400
opal and Cynthia, who had gone
to the same high school
360
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,500
together.
And also were friendly Deborah,
361
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:13,100
and Cynthia had gone to the same
bar and Tacoma, but no one had
362
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:15,200
ever seen them together in the
bar or speak.
363
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,100
So, they just happen to be at
that bar near each other, right?
364
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,900
Dick cross came up with the
first profile.
365
00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:25,000
He said he thought they were
looking for someone who lived in
366
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,200
Pierce or Kings County was
familiar.
367
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,300
With the Green River.
The dump site was not a common
368
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,100
In stopping point for many
Travelers at this point, the
369
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:34,900
case was only known in
Washington and Oregon.
370
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:38,700
The task force moved to a
central location at the King
371
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:41,700
County Courthouse which was it
in super old building with
372
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:44,700
marble hallways in a really
shaky Foundation like
373
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:47,200
legitimately they were told if
there's an earthquake, this
374
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,400
building might fall, we're going
to put you in that one.
375
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,400
Okay.
Major Crimes field, one big room
376
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,000
and then the smaller rooms had
like random offices for
377
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,300
Narcotics and other things.
The Green River task force met
378
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:02,700
In the same room where the Ted
Bundy task force met in the 70s.
379
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:07,200
It was a small now room up the
back steps of 41A they were maps
380
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,700
and charts of all of the dump
sites on the walls.
381
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:15,100
The phones, pretty much rang all
day and all night woman by the
382
00:22:15,108 --> 00:22:20,100
name of fa Brooks who delightful
cool lady.
383
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:26,200
We'll hear more about her leader
because she was probably one of
384
00:22:26,208 --> 00:22:28,900
the few cups.
He was very media savvy.
385
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:31,500
So she ended up doing a lot of
the public interviews, okay?
386
00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:34,200
In terms of talking about the
Green River Killer, but both say
387
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,500
Brooks and Dave Reichert took,
most of those calls Faye Brooks
388
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:41,300
had kind of cut her teeth in the
sex crimes division.
389
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,500
So she absolutely was needed on
this case because she had the
390
00:22:44,508 --> 00:22:47,700
background of understanding sex
criminals.
391
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,400
In late January of 1983.
Now, six weeks into the
392
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,000
investigation.
A man was laying water pipes
393
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,600
found a shallow grave about 100
yards from Northgate hospital.
394
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,700
He discovered the skull and
immediately called the police,
395
00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:07,300
the skull and its bones.
Belong to Linda Gene, rule,
396
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:11,200
who'd been missing, since
September of 1980 to, she had no
397
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,100
soft tissue left.
So they couldn't tell how she
398
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:15,100
died.
And she had to be confirmed by
399
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:18,600
her dental records, but they
already had her missing report.
400
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,200
Art in the file, right?
She was someone listed as
401
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,200
potentially missing based on her
lifestyle being in that she was
402
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,000
a prostitute.
She was 16 years old when she
403
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
was last seen leaving.
Her motel room walking to the
404
00:23:32,008 --> 00:23:36,600
Northgate Mall.
That was really all they had to
405
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:41,700
go on so Sergeant Bob Holter and
Captain Mike's last men of
406
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:45,100
Seattle homicide were quoted as
saying technically, we're not
407
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:49,500
calling this a murder, we don't
have enough to go on for that,
408
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,900
but the results are the same.
She is dead and we don't know
409
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:58,400
why.
What would be confirmed as a
410
00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:02,800
Ridgway victim, right?
When he eventually took them to
411
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,800
all the sites.
But this happens in 2002, I'm
412
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,900
just saying, you're finally like
a skeletal remains buried in a
413
00:24:12,908 --> 00:24:14,700
shallow, grave somewhere in the
woods.
414
00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:18,600
True true, what makes it not a
murder?
415
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,300
What makes you think?
It's not a murder?
416
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:24,000
Well, I mean, the evidence I
guess evident, right.
417
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,300
There's no evidence they had
because the problem is Ridgeway
418
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:30,700
wasn't interesting enough.
Since I brought up Gabi booty,
419
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:33,800
do damage with Tito had signs of
a strangulation, right?
420
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:34,700
Yeah.
Which means there could have
421
00:24:34,708 --> 00:24:38,700
been broken bones in her neck.
That was not what they found
422
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:41,700
here of these victims.
But they were all strangled,
423
00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:44,200
they were strangled but they
were not strangled to the point
424
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,500
of breaking like the hyoid,
right?
425
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:51,900
So it was just enough to
probably knock them out or
426
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:56,200
Right.
Cuz the Gabby's Gabby's was more
427
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,800
of a passion.
Christ passion.
428
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,200
Another thing is that sometimes
Gary would put his arm around
429
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,200
them.
Yeah.
430
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:06,400
You don't have.
Yeah.
431
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,400
You don't have your and that's
not the same as putting your
432
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,300
hands and that crushing
pressure.
433
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:15,500
Absolutely, yeah.
Also the same thing is ligature
434
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:17,800
marks or things of that nature.
Well, we don't finally ligature
435
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,700
marks because these are just
skeletal bone, right?
436
00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:21,200
White?
This the tissues gone.
437
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,100
I'm just saying if I find
something Skeleton in the woods.
438
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:27,900
Your like this is obviously a
murder.
439
00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:33,500
Somebody murdered this person.
With each murder, they got more
440
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:36,100
suspects and they had to be
interviewed and cross off the
441
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:38,800
list.
One of those suspects was Gary
442
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,100
Ridgway.
See, in the spring of 1983
443
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:45,600
Marine Mammal VAR.
She was 18, got into an old
444
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,000
pickup truck with a dark-haired
man and his 30s or 40s.
445
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,800
Marie's boyfriend had seen it
and he also reported her missing
446
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,200
on April 30th. 1883, they went
to ridgeway's home and
447
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,600
questioned him about her.
And one of the, like, really
448
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,100
annoying details with this
interview that they did here,
449
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:07,200
was that one of the previous
victims I told you.
450
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,600
She had fought back opal.
Had bruises, right?
451
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,600
She So scratch the absolute crap
out of him.
452
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,800
And he one of his arms was
jacked up and so when the police
453
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:23,300
came to talk to him, he had two
very like methodically lean on a
454
00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:28,200
fence to make sure that they
didn't see that everything was
455
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:31,600
that that he had gotten like
severely scratched, he got in a
456
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,100
fight, what happened to, you
know, play with the cat or
457
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:35,800
something, huh, right, yeah.
So you specifically, like, made
458
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,100
sure that when they, they walked
up to the house, he was leaning
459
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:40,900
against the fence so that they
couldn't see.
460
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:44,900
His arm.
He knew what he knew.
461
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:48,600
What was up?
Now the next set of remains were
462
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:54,400
found kind of painfully on
Mother's Day May 8th 1983 by a
463
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,700
family hunting, for wild
mushrooms.
464
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,800
She was found a distance from
the strip but to the task force,
465
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,700
this felt like the Green River.
Killer her name was Carol and
466
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:07,400
Christiansen.
She was 22 the single mother of
467
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,000
a five-year-old daughter and she
gun missing five days.
468
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Prior she was really excited
because she just found a job
469
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,900
after a really long time
searching.
470
00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:20,400
She lived near the pack Highway
and she would frequently walk
471
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,400
walk it on foot because she
didn't have a car.
472
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:25,500
She was a waitress at the bar
during Tavern, which was very
473
00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:28,300
close to white shutters.
And if you remember from last
474
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:32,200
week, that was the bar that Gary
Ridgway used to go to for his
475
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,900
parents Without Partners event.
Yeah, that's the same bar.
476
00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:43,000
He met his third wife, Judith in
Carol lived three blocks away.
477
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,400
The police were sure.
She was a victim of the Green
478
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,400
River Killer, because her
remains had a very strange Rich
479
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,900
ritualistic take She had not
been raped before she died.
480
00:27:55,100 --> 00:27:59,100
She had been strangled, a brown
plastic bag was over her head.
481
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,300
She was sitting half up with her
hands across her stomach.
482
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,300
Her body had been dumped in
water and she had been re closed
483
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:09,600
but backwards like one of her
shoes on the wrong feet and the
484
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,700
other one was just gone.
There were two cleaned fish left
485
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:20,300
on her chest as well as raw
sausage like left on her leg
486
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:26,100
stomach, they I found a wine
bottle in her hand and just like
487
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:30,100
the three women in the water, a
stone have been placed inside of
488
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:33,800
her.
And that was the thing that made
489
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,600
it seem like it was a Green
River killing.
490
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:38,200
Yeah.
That's what was almost like he.
491
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,400
A ritual asleep.
Put her in water because he
492
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,900
couldn't take her back to the
real.
493
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,700
Yeah I kind of got that you get
the fish and he put her in like
494
00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:48,500
a puddle or something.
I thought the fish thing was
495
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:56,100
Kind of like a weird play on the
Eucharist and we know that Gary
496
00:28:56,100 --> 00:28:59,200
Ridgway did go through a time
period where he was like
497
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,600
obsessive with Christianity.
The real country though was the
498
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,400
stone.
Yeah.
499
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,600
That would have been.
He was unable to rape her
500
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,200
because of his own physical
image issues and for all we know
501
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,200
he might have come back and
maybe the stone was there to
502
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,700
protect her.
He later told.
503
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:22,800
Investigators that she was
special.
504
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:28,400
That's why he had done so much
extra with the sausage and the
505
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,900
fish and don't ya model?
Yeah.
506
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,500
Both Carol and her daughter,
Sarah were members of the
507
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:37,700
Blackfoot tribe of Browning
Montana and her parents lived
508
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:41,400
and Hokum Idaho.
So at least Sarah wasn't alone
509
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,900
after her mom died.
Now, while it's rare that serial
510
00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:49,700
killers and for the record, we
are definitely at this point in
511
00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:52,600
Seattle, referring to him as a
serial killer while it's where
512
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,400
they kill people.
They know personally, it's not
513
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,300
impossible because we've talked
about this before with The
514
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:03,900
compulsion or the impulse to
murder being so strong that
515
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:06,100
sometimes you take rest.
Yeah.
516
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:10,200
So even though she was a
waitress, At the bar that he
517
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:15,500
frequent admitted, it's
thoroughly plausible that he
518
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:18,700
might have picked her up because
he just needed to kill someone.
519
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:24,100
That itch and Carol Ann was
easy.
520
00:30:24,100 --> 00:30:28,900
Pickings because she walked
right by every day, The King
521
00:30:28,900 --> 00:30:31,400
County investigators kept
Carol's case, under the Green
522
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,600
River Killer cuz it was in his
hunting grounds and they had
523
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,400
triangulated a general area
based on the dump sites that
524
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:43,800
they knew. and, Another weird
details.
525
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,300
That Carol is the only person
Ridgeway would go on to Stage.
526
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:52,100
So, whatever point he thought he
was making that day.
527
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:57,200
Well, really never know.
But this did tell the task force
528
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,000
one detail.
They knew this man was not
529
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,900
mentally ill.
And anyway, it was all to
530
00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:06,900
thought out to be the work of
someone who was truly crazy.
531
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,400
The next victim was found 13
months after the first murder,
532
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,300
her name was Sean D'Elia,
Summers, she been missing since
533
00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:19,000
October 7th 1982, her family had
been looking for her pretty
534
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,100
non-stop for 10 months.
And also when I keep saying
535
00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:28,500
SeaTac that Seattle-Tacoma I'm
sorry I'm using the so the
536
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:32,600
Sea-Tac Airport she was found
near an airport flight path.
537
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,300
Two days after that, another set
of remains were found nearby
538
00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:41,700
both Shonda and the other woman
were so badly decomposed that
539
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:44,600
they couldn't do a base.
Identification Shauna was
540
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,500
identified by dental records,
but they still don't know the
541
00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:51,900
identity of the other one.
Wow.
542
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,400
Goodness.
Gil and Matthews was found
543
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:04,200
September 18th, 1953 missing
since April, she's 24 years old,
544
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,400
and just like many of ridgeway's
victims, she was down on her
545
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,600
luck and just trying to survive
Gil's, boyfriend, reported her
546
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,500
missing.
And by the time she was found,
547
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,600
he was in prison and he felt so
bad that he even agreed to be
548
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,000
hypnotized to remember the last
time he saw her and he told them
549
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,300
that she got into a truck.
He actually said that at some
550
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:31,500
point he saw her drive by and he
had waved at her and she looked
551
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:36,500
strangely at him and he wasn't
sure why she hadn't waved back.
552
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,200
Hmm.
And it was more than likely
553
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,500
because at that point, she was
being threatened.
554
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:47,200
In October, they found three
more victims, 1st, October 15th,
555
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:52,400
Yvonne and Tosh 19 found just
off of Highway 18 near I-94
556
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,200
thing.
Since May 31st a week later they
557
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,900
found constant.
No constants known 20 years old
558
00:33:00,700 --> 00:33:05,500
missing since October 27th,
found near South 192nd Street.
559
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,300
Sorry she was found on October
27th, missing since June 8th.
560
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:13,500
Okay.
Then they found Kelly Marie
561
00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:16,500
where she was 22 and she was
near constance's body.
562
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,500
In fact, the police continued to
search that area because they
563
00:33:20,508 --> 00:33:23,000
were like this seems like a dump
site and so they found Mary
564
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,200
Brigid me hen.
She was 18 years old when she
565
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,000
went missing that was they found
her on November 13th that?
566
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
This was official.
This was another dump site.
567
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,500
Yeah this was another place that
they had to keep looking
568
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:38,000
through.
Did Christ was burned by this
569
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,400
new crop of bodies, and he
decided they were going to cover
570
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,100
more land interview, more
witnesses, talked to every
571
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:45,200
missing girl in the area and
their family.
572
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,100
And anybody, they'd come into
contact with this, of course,
573
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:52,600
create a massive database, which
often led to nowhere, but if
574
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,200
there was even the tiniest
chance they could get something
575
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,400
to go on, he wanted it so far.
The only good thing that really
576
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,100
come.
From this case was that the
577
00:34:01,108 --> 00:34:03,800
working girls in Seattle were
less afraid of the cops.
578
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,100
And now Like they were sort of
allies, right?
579
00:34:08,100 --> 00:34:11,900
And so if like they met a weird
guy or somebody like rough them
580
00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:15,300
up, they would call the police
and be like, yo, I just came
581
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:18,900
from this guy's house and he has
like a bunch of knives, just
582
00:34:18,900 --> 00:34:25,600
letting you know.
Hey, just because a guy has a
583
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,199
lot of knives with sword.
Does that make him?
584
00:34:29,900 --> 00:34:33,100
I'm not making a dig at you.
That's actually one of the calls
585
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:43,400
that's reference but now this
created a weird sort of
586
00:34:43,408 --> 00:34:48,600
cooperation between the Seattle
PD and and sex workers, it
587
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,500
actually crossed people's mind
that since this next crop was
588
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:53,900
one of the the dumpsites was
near an airport.
589
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,400
They were like do you think he's
like a frequent flyer?
590
00:34:57,500 --> 00:34:59,500
Hmm, like maybe, that's why
we're finding them.
591
00:34:59,500 --> 00:35:03,300
Sporadically.
So and the Sea-Tac Airport is
592
00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:05,100
right in the middle of the, the
hunting grounds.
593
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:10,600
So kraske reached out to every
major airport across the United
594
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:15,200
States and the police precincts
near them and said, hey are you
595
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,000
having a series of women go
missing around this area?
596
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,200
And when all those police
responded, no, they were like
597
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:29,400
okay but he has to be local.
With the fall and the winter on
598
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,400
the horizon, they were expecting
it to be less women would be on
599
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,000
the Strip.
So therefore less at risk just
600
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,100
before Christmas Kimmy Chi,
Pitzer was found December 15th
601
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:44,200
she'd been missing since April
17th at Timmy went missing the
602
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,700
same day another girl named
Sandy also meant missing, they
603
00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:49,000
were both dark-haired 16 year
olds.
604
00:35:49,300 --> 00:35:53,800
Very sweet and kind had hit a
defiant rebellious stage in
605
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,400
their life.
Kimmy did have a boyfriend /
606
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,300
pimp, this one was at least able
to give them more information
607
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:04,900
about the car.
They said it was a pickup truck,
608
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:08,600
it was old green and had a
camper attached on the back and
609
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,100
there was primer paint on the
passenger door.
610
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,900
Nice, they printed this
description and all the local
611
00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:19,000
papers, but there are a lot of
old trucks with campers on them
612
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,600
because we're literally in the
middle of the Wilderness.
613
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,300
Yeah, okay.
He's back then it was the
614
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:24,900
Wilderness.
It's a lot more built up now.
615
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,600
In two years, they found 15
bodies and they were any closer
616
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,700
to figuring it out.
There were a couple promising
617
00:36:32,700 --> 00:36:34,900
leads ahead and pound out like
Melvin Foster.
618
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:38,400
The 63 year old cabbie who got
himself put on the suspect list
619
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,600
when he walked in and Major
Crimes and told them that he had
620
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:45,500
information about all the women
eventually, he voluntarily gave
621
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:49,300
a DNA sample and there was no
match, so they moved on Mac
622
00:36:49,300 --> 00:36:51,500
stack.
Lee was the guy who was the
623
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:53,700
convicted killer, who dated
Deborah Bronner?
624
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,000
He also was exonerated through
DNA evidence.
625
00:36:57,300 --> 00:37:00,400
John Norris Hanks was a serious
Contender as a convicted rapist
626
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,000
and murderer, but it was
determined that he had actually
627
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,500
been murdering people in San
Francisco.
628
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:11,100
Oh, not in Seattle.
Art is our mistakes are mistakes
629
00:37:11,100 --> 00:37:16,200
in France, let's go well.
So he ended up getting arrested
630
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,300
for those murders in the
September of 1980 to which met
631
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:23,100
he was not free during the time
when a bulk of these women were
632
00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:25,900
found, right?
In the dead of winter, they find
633
00:37:25,900 --> 00:37:28,900
nobody's the women were still
continuing to go missing from
634
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:31,100
the area.
So the task force spent the
635
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:35,500
winter working for the work of
the nose. 300 leads just before
636
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:38,800
the new year.
Frank Adamson Takes Over The
637
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,000
Green, River task force.
There was a rumor that the Green
638
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,000
River Killer could be a cop.
And Frank was the former head of
639
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,300
the internal investigations unit
and he'd managed to be the
640
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:55,200
leader of internal affairs
pretty much and still have
641
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,500
friends in the police force
which meant he was doing pretty
642
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:00,200
good.
Good job guy.
643
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,600
Also crass kid been on this
depressing case for two years
644
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,800
now, new eyes, new enthusiasm,
wait about four new connections.
645
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,000
Like, I need a break vacation.
There were 40 detectives as part
646
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,400
of the task force now and they
moved them out of that crappy
647
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,400
small Courthouse room into the
Burien Precinct area, which was
648
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,200
closer to The Hot Zone for the
murderers.
649
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,700
The state also started pumping a
lot more money into the task
650
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:31,100
force that had given kraske.
Most of the original detectives
651
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:33,900
on the case were pulled Add back
and given a chance to rest.
652
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:39,100
Except for Dave, Reichert Bob,
lemuria Ben Caldwell, roubaix
653
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:43,000
ladach, and Faye, Brooks who all
were like, now we're staying
654
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:48,800
Frank.
Adamson said that he thought
655
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,700
within six months they'd have
the killer.
656
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,300
Hmm.
He even admits in an rules Green
657
00:38:55,300 --> 00:39:00,300
River, Running Red Book.
In hindsight we probably should
658
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:03,500
have caught him.
But we'll talk more about that
659
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:10,100
later.
The first of 1984 victims was
660
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:14,300
found February 14th.
Her name was dilys Pledger.
661
00:39:14,700 --> 00:39:17,200
She was 22 and she had gone
missing in October.
662
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,900
She was known as Missy by her
friends and Missy.
663
00:39:19,900 --> 00:39:23,500
Have been living with someone
while, trying to find a new
664
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:26,900
place to live.
She had two children, and a life
665
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:28,500
full of struggle.
Like so many of the people
666
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:29,600
you're going to hear about
today.
667
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,300
Both she and her twin brother
had been removed from their
668
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:35,200
mothers care when they were five
putting different foster homes,
669
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,300
Missy very openly grieve, the
loss of her family, and she
670
00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:41,500
actually looked for her brother
until her death.
671
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,300
Miss.
He didn't really want to work
672
00:39:44,300 --> 00:39:46,100
the streets.
She tried to stay with a couple
673
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:50,000
of her male friends while she
was transient and all of them.
674
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Had tried to groom her into like
a set.
675
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:57,800
It's really interesting and I
can't say that I haven't seen
676
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,700
this happen in real life but
it'd be, it'll be wild.
677
00:40:00,700 --> 00:40:03,000
People will find out like that,
they're dating.
678
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,600
Someone who does sex work and
all of a sudden now you got
679
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,800
ideas.
Yeah, I had a physician job.
680
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:13,900
I literally, I literally had it
happen with a friend and I was
681
00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:17,300
just like she has been out here
doing this for you.
682
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,800
What do you think you can do?
Yeah, you know nothing about
683
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,200
this industry who have no idea.
Oh my God but out here making
684
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:30,200
videos, doing all sorts my think
I can you know, make sorry if
685
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,100
you don't shut the whole hell
up.
686
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:33,600
How about you start your own
business?
687
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,700
What yourself sir, it didn't go
that way.
688
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:37,900
But that was what's happening
here, they're like, oh, you
689
00:40:37,900 --> 00:40:40,200
know, you're thinking about
doing, you know, Street.
690
00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:42,600
I work I can help you girl.
No, that's okay.
691
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,700
I'm good on my own.
I do bad about myself.
692
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,100
Well, she tried to avoid it for
as long as she could.
693
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,200
And so she had no other options
left and of course, we know that
694
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,200
she ended up in one of
ridgeway's vehicles.
695
00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:00,200
Yeah.
As the frost melted, they found
696
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,600
five more women at a new dump
site in March.
697
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:07,700
Lise Yates 19 had gone missing
just before Christmas on
698
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:12,300
December 23rd.
She was found March 13th. 1984,
699
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:15,900
her skeletal remains were found
near exit. 38 off of I90.
700
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,500
This was a whole different
location, so they weren't sure.
701
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:20,300
Originally, it was the Green
River Killer.
702
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:26,800
It was east of Seattle on the
way to the Snoqualmie Pass. and,
703
00:41:28,700 --> 00:41:31,700
This made them wander.
Could he be a trucker?
704
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,500
Hmm.
Since those are one of the
705
00:41:34,500 --> 00:41:36,900
number comment, uh, serial
killer?
706
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,600
Yep.
Jobs, they found Wendy Stevens.
707
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,300
On March 21st.
She was one of the youngest
708
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:45,900
victims.
She was only 14 years old.
709
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,200
She actually also, I don't
believe she was a sex worker
710
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,000
either.
She was run away from Denver.
711
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,600
She was found near the Seatac
Airport as Addison and his men
712
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,600
went back and looked at Old dump
sites.
713
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:03,500
She was actually the one who
remained unnamed and we talked
714
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:08,400
about her earlier this year.
Her parents took a DNA test and
715
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,900
2019 specifically to see if
their daughter was dead.
716
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:15,900
And if her DNA was logged in any
systems in the United States,
717
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,500
they then paid for that to be
matched further.
718
00:42:18,500 --> 00:42:22,200
And in September of 2020, they
got an answer and it was
719
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:27,000
released in January of 2021 when
you and I talked about it, the
720
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,900
next one was found one day
later, March 22nd 1984, Her name
721
00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:32,800
is Sheryl.
Lee Williams, she was 18.
722
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,400
When she went missing, in May of
83, she was found near a ball
723
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,100
field.
Not far from the Sea-Tac
724
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:41,100
Airport.
She was a waitress and arrest in
725
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:44,100
a restaurant.
Downtown Seattle described by
726
00:42:44,100 --> 00:42:47,300
her boss as quiet conservative
and conscientious.
727
00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:51,600
Her put her pet, her mother told
the police that she had some
728
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,300
issues with drug use in the
past, but that she'd never been
729
00:42:54,300 --> 00:42:59,100
involved in prostitution.
Then on March, 31st 1984, they
730
00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:03,100
found two more bodies to loras
Williams had been 17 missing
731
00:43:03,100 --> 00:43:08,300
since March of 83 and Debbie
Abernathy, 26 missing since
732
00:43:08,300 --> 00:43:12,900
September 5th of 1983.
Delores was found at the Star
733
00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:15,900
Lake dumping site, and Debbie
was found near the logging a
734
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:21,300
Logging Road off of Highway 410.
So, all five of these were found
735
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:24,100
at previous dump sites that were
already discussed so far.
736
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,600
And that's only because part of
the task worth methodology was
737
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,200
continuously combing, the area
to see if he was going to
738
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,700
continue dumping in the same
locations.
739
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,900
But they're still finding old
body is once a year, these are
740
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:38,800
older bodies.
So, yeah, they're still fighting
741
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:43,200
people who went missing in 82
and 83 So he definitely got.
742
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,900
He was hiding those pretty well.
They're just finally little
743
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:48,500
missing like little little
Pebbles, welcome.
744
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:54,200
One of the weird details with AB
Debbie Abernathy was that a man
745
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,500
was later walking down, the
highway highway 18.
746
00:43:57,500 --> 00:44:01,000
He found her driver's license.
She was from Waco, Texas and
747
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,200
turned it in.
So then they went back to that
748
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,400
area of a separate was a
separate Highway, and they found
749
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:10,900
her son's birth certificate.
And so, for some reason as he's
750
00:44:10,900 --> 00:44:16,700
driving, Away from the crime.
He takes her like stuff and
751
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:20,200
throws it into the wind.
The guy or Ridgeway.
752
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,200
What have?
And the question is, why?
753
00:44:23,300 --> 00:44:26,200
Yeah?
Why this one weird that that's
754
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:31,100
him saying like, hey come find
her because you all suck or is
755
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:33,800
this just his way of trying to
get rid of the stuff?
756
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,100
No, he's probably leaving bread
crumbs, if you wanted to get rid
757
00:44:36,100 --> 00:44:38,600
of him, he would have liked burn
it or accept it or something.
758
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,200
He was leaving bread crumbs from
them with follow, And like March
759
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,100
31st, there's no time to breathe
because April 1st, brings two
760
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:47,400
more bodies.
Terry.
761
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:52,200
Renee Milligan 16, missing since
August 29th of 1982 Sandra Kate,
762
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,100
Gabbert 17, missing since April
17th 1983.
763
00:44:57,500 --> 00:44:59,900
Terry had been working the
street when she went missing her
764
00:44:59,900 --> 00:45:03,100
boyfriend, reported her missing
and then he disappeared the
765
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:06,000
motel manager where the to have
been living said that he'd seen
766
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,900
Terry arguing with another girl,
just like everybody else on this
767
00:45:09,900 --> 00:45:11,900
list.
Terry was a bright girl, good
768
00:45:11,900 --> 00:45:14,100
student.
She had a baby in middle school
769
00:45:14,500 --> 00:45:16,700
and that's why she had dropped
out of school to take care of
770
00:45:16,700 --> 00:45:19,600
her.
Baby Sandra had also dropped out
771
00:45:19,607 --> 00:45:23,500
of school and Sandra's mother
had discovered her working the
772
00:45:23,500 --> 00:45:25,500
streets.
And her mom was like, listen,
773
00:45:25,500 --> 00:45:28,800
you could get yourself killed
doing This but Sondra was
774
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,300
confident that she was better
than those other girls.
775
00:45:31,700 --> 00:45:34,500
Both of them were found near the
Star Lake dump site.
776
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,900
We're not done yet though.
April 2nd, my aunt Smith found
777
00:45:41,900 --> 00:45:45,100
also near Star Lake.
She'd been missing since March
778
00:45:45,100 --> 00:45:49,000
3rd 1983, she was from Walla
Walla Washington and she was
779
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,200
seen in front of this hotel.
So it was a red lion.
780
00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:55,600
You know, those Hotel.
Yeah, it was directly across
781
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,600
from the airport and apparently
even though this was considered
782
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,900
to be like a nice hotel in the
area there, definitely were
783
00:46:01,900 --> 00:46:05,100
always women at the bus stop in
front of the Red Lion.
784
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,400
Who were, you know, what was it,
like a picked up?
785
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:14,800
Yes, nice hotel.
What This hotel and itself is
786
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,500
linked in to well, over a dozen
of the murder victim.
787
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,900
Oh God.
One of her friends.
788
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:23,400
Reported that they saw her get
into a dark pickup truck with a
789
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,300
white guy.
Never saw her again.
790
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,400
April March is on April 20th.
They find him.
791
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,300
Murray Thompson.
She was 21 been missing since
792
00:46:32,300 --> 00:46:36,500
July 25th 1983 her skeletal
remains were found under a green
793
00:46:36,500 --> 00:46:40,900
trash bag, along with the bones
of animals near Highway 18 in a
794
00:46:40,900 --> 00:46:45,000
very remote location.
Now, hers was an interesting one
795
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,000
because she was found by a
psychic named Barbara.
796
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,300
Kubik Patton.
Who truly believe that she was
797
00:46:51,300 --> 00:46:54,100
speaking with a deceased who
were telling her where the
798
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:56,600
bodies were found, she was super
upset that too.
799
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,200
Task force wasn't listening to
her.
800
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,600
She even tracked down and Rule
and like interrupted.
801
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,700
And while she was having dinner
And and was just like, listen,
802
00:47:06,700 --> 00:47:08,700
you're going to have to find a
body to make these suggestions,
803
00:47:08,700 --> 00:47:11,300
listen to you because nobody
agreed with her.
804
00:47:11,300 --> 00:47:18,400
And so she started showing up a
dump sites. and when she found,
805
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,700
She found Amina Agra Schiff who
was on the missing list but was
806
00:47:24,700 --> 00:47:29,500
ultimately not one of the Green
River Killer victims and then
807
00:47:29,500 --> 00:47:32,200
she found Tina Thompson.
They ended up giving her a
808
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,100
polygraph tests just to make
sure she wasn't involved.
809
00:47:36,300 --> 00:47:37,900
You sure you didn't do any of
this.
810
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:45,700
So we're only in May of 84 and
we've already found 10 women,
811
00:47:45,900 --> 00:47:48,100
which is more than the previous
year.
812
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,100
They Brooks.
At this point, had to step up
813
00:47:54,100 --> 00:47:57,600
and become the media Maven that
she was because she was the only
814
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,200
person who really had a lot of
like, media training at that
815
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:05,700
point.
So they looked at their previous
816
00:48:05,700 --> 00:48:09,300
list of suspects and they kept
coming back to Gary Ridgway
817
00:48:09,500 --> 00:48:11,200
their Muslim much evidence
though.
818
00:48:11,300 --> 00:48:13,600
Although he had been arrested
for trying to pick up a police
819
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,300
officer and they had interviewed
him about that missing girl,
820
00:48:16,300 --> 00:48:19,500
he'd been seen with, they didn't
have any physical evidence to
821
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:22,300
say that, this like skinny guy
was anything other than a creep,
822
00:48:22,300 --> 00:48:23,400
but they want to talk to him
again.
823
00:48:23,900 --> 00:48:26,600
So in May of 1984, they brought
him in and questioned him
824
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,400
because it was all they could do
at the time.
825
00:48:28,500 --> 00:48:31,000
He of course, denied any
involvement, and even agreed to
826
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,200
a polygraph test.
Now unfortunately, we know, The
827
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,700
parameters of machine are off
and had it been calibrated
828
00:48:36,700 --> 00:48:41,200
correctly, he would have failed.
But they went with the
829
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,300
information they had at the
time, damn it.
830
00:48:43,300 --> 00:48:45,700
And they had to move on to other
potential Killers.
831
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,900
For the time being though, Gary
was just a creep and they were
832
00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:49,800
going to keep an eye out for
him.
833
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,100
If his name came up again, at
the end of May on the 26th, they
834
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:57,400
found the remains of the 26th,
Green River victim.
835
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,200
How poetic Colleen Brockman,
she'd been missing since
836
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:05,400
Christmas Eve 1982.
It is believed that Colleen was
837
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,200
the last of the Washington State
victims.
838
00:49:07,500 --> 00:49:10,100
She was only 15 years old when
she went missing and she it away
839
00:49:10,100 --> 00:49:12,200
from home.
The reason why there's confusion
840
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:16,100
here is because at some point,
Gary went back and moved the
841
00:49:16,100 --> 00:49:24,600
bones around, they found bones
of victims that of from dump
842
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,800
sites and Washington.
They found some of those bones
843
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,600
in Oregon which really confuse
things.
844
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:35,900
Yeah, that's because Gary
Ridgway looked at the remains
845
00:49:35,900 --> 00:49:39,100
as, if they were like, it was
like a possession and so like he
846
00:49:39,100 --> 00:49:48,700
moved them around like they
belong to him. but, Colleen live
847
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:52,000
with her dad near Lake
Washington, the Lake,
848
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,700
Washington, ship canal and her
dad wasn't sure why she had left
849
00:49:55,700 --> 00:49:59,200
this time, but she taken a lot
of her stuff with her and he
850
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,700
tried to get law enforcement
involved because they were like,
851
00:50:01,700 --> 00:50:05,100
maybe if she gets arrested and
has to go to juvie or something,
852
00:50:05,100 --> 00:50:08,200
then we can get her like some
point, a court-appointed therapy
853
00:50:09,300 --> 00:50:11,500
Colleen had turned to
prostitution to provide for
854
00:50:11,500 --> 00:50:13,200
herself while she was on the
run.
855
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,400
And of course Right?
He ended up in the dark pickup
856
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:18,300
truck.
Yeah.
857
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,200
Now, the next few months things
kind of slowed down in terms of
858
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:26,000
finding bodies the lull.
Again, again gave people a false
859
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,600
sense of security and even
though local PD were trying to
860
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:33,900
encourage women to avoiding the
strip of the highway are near
861
00:50:33,900 --> 00:50:39,700
the tea, sack Airport, They just
people weren't you can't stop
862
00:50:39,700 --> 00:50:45,300
because people need money.
Yeah I get that. well, so during
863
00:50:45,300 --> 00:50:52,400
this time period, Dave Riker and
Robert keppel decide to talk to
864
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,900
Ted Bundy and he reached out to
them.
865
00:50:56,700 --> 00:51:00,000
He actually kept on ended up
writing a book about these
866
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,200
interviews called the river Man,
Ted Bundy and I hunt for the
867
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,400
Green River Killer and Bundy was
the first to offer up the idea
868
00:51:07,500 --> 00:51:11,100
that the river man as he called
him, was going to go back to the
869
00:51:11,100 --> 00:51:15,200
body's over and over again, this
wouldn't be confirmed for quite
870
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,500
some time actually and they
couldn't really use any of the
871
00:51:18,500 --> 00:51:21,800
information that they were kind
of gleaning from Ted Bundy in
872
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,400
the actual investigation,
because he was a convicted
873
00:51:25,500 --> 00:51:27,900
murderer.
I think about it right.
874
00:51:27,900 --> 00:51:29,600
The lightning, right, right,
right.
875
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,500
Yes.
But what these interviews what
876
00:51:32,500 --> 00:51:37,500
these letters and ultimately
they did go fly to Bundy in 1986
877
00:51:37,500 --> 00:51:40,600
and talk to him, but what these
interview show, Dave, was that
878
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:45,100
serial killers are a lot alike.
Capel will continue
879
00:51:45,100 --> 00:51:47,600
corresponding with Bundy for the
next two years eventually, they
880
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:54,400
went to interview him in person.
October 12 1983, Mary Sue.
881
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:59,700
Bella was found 366 days after
she went missing near Highway
882
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:03,900
410, milepost 37.
She was 25 which made her a lot
883
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:08,300
older than his usual victims.
Her family tried to get her out
884
00:52:08,300 --> 00:52:10,500
of the life of working the
streets, but she been
885
00:52:10,500 --> 00:52:12,800
struggling.
Since she was young, she was
886
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,700
streets wise and a lot smarter
than the other girls.
887
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,200
But she also had a problem with
drugs and alcohol.
888
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,400
One of the things that I
mentioned a lot about her was
889
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,900
that she was very kind to other
people on the street and tried
890
00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:28,400
to help them.
She had even called the police
891
00:52:28,900 --> 00:52:33,300
and reported a guy that she met
on September 12 1983 who had
892
00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:35,800
creeped her out.
She was looking out for the
893
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,200
other girls who were working.
Was it Gary?
894
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,800
There's do you not know, not
know.
895
00:52:41,300 --> 00:52:43,600
She said he had a lot of knives
and this guy had a lot of nice
896
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,100
car.
That's the that's the one I was
897
00:52:45,100 --> 00:52:46,500
telling you about that, people
like that.
898
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:50,000
Actual workers called the bed.
I'm just saying you don't have
899
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,300
knives in your car though, and
you have them like displayed in
900
00:52:53,300 --> 00:52:56,300
cases at your house, right?
Yeah.
901
00:52:56,300 --> 00:52:58,400
Okay.
It's a little different.
902
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,700
That report was actually added
to their case File a month later
903
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:07,100
though, she was gone and her
mother kind of had an idea that
904
00:53:07,100 --> 00:53:14,100
she was gone to marry always
called her every other day and
905
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,600
probably one of the saddest
details about Mary.
906
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:21,000
Sue Bellows case, is that her
mom Sue velman died from cancer,
907
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,700
never knowing what happened to
her kid.
908
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:27,200
No, that's terrible.
Since Mary been found near
909
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,500
Highway 41, they decide to keep
working that area and they
910
00:53:30,500 --> 00:53:32,300
discovered the remains of
Martina author.
911
00:53:32,300 --> 00:53:37,100
Lee on November 14th 1994.
She was 18 and she was last
912
00:53:37,100 --> 00:53:41,900
seen, May 22nd 1983 outside of
the my place, Tavern, a hunter,
913
00:53:41,900 --> 00:53:47,700
found her along with wet porn
magazines, and smut books.
914
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:50,600
Oh God!
Can you imagine what he's using
915
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:51,800
up?
Using those for out there?
916
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:58,400
Yeah. 1984, and it without much
fanfare, notice appearances.
917
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,000
No remains found third
Christmas, that would pass with
918
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,400
family, still not knowing any
information and just like that,
919
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:11,400
it was 1985.
In January, don, dr.
920
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:15,900
Don re-released details about
four sets of remains that, they
921
00:54:15,900 --> 00:54:19,600
still had no name for they had
found remodeling in the first
922
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,500
star league victims pelvis and
one of her arms had been
923
00:54:22,500 --> 00:54:26,400
dislocated and woman by the
name.
924
00:54:27,100 --> 00:54:31,500
Well, Gail, Matthew's sister
remembered that her sister, had
925
00:54:31,500 --> 00:54:35,400
been injured in a boating
accident, and she had fractured
926
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,500
her pelvis.
And so they were able to get the
927
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:43,500
x-rays and confirm that.
The first Star Lake victim was
928
00:54:43,500 --> 00:54:48,700
Gayle Matthews.
Shirley Ann, Roy was 15 when she
929
00:54:48,700 --> 00:54:53,400
went missing in June of 1983 and
they found her March 10th 1985
930
00:54:53,400 --> 00:55:02,200
near Star Lake.
These were old remains. and so,
931
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:05,200
People started telling
themselves.
932
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,700
Maybe the Green River.
Killer has moved on, maybe he's
933
00:55:08,700 --> 00:55:11,400
in jail.
Maybe he died.
934
00:55:11,500 --> 00:55:18,000
Hmm, like the Zodiac, right,
let's say like, the Zodiac, the
935
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,900
task force was like, maybe he
just moved to a new area and
936
00:55:20,900 --> 00:55:24,900
it's still killing people.
The next two victims.
937
00:55:25,900 --> 00:55:30,500
Were surely Murray Cheryl and
Denise, Darcel Bush, Shirley was
938
00:55:30,500 --> 00:55:33,400
18.
And Denise was 23, they were
939
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:38,300
found on June 14th and June 12
and it actually brought the best
940
00:55:38,300 --> 00:55:42,100
thing for the case.
The FBI officially joined, the
941
00:55:42,100 --> 00:55:44,500
investigation.
There have been phone calls like
942
00:55:44,500 --> 00:55:49,300
back and forth with John Douglas
and but this was actually sent
943
00:55:49,300 --> 00:55:54,600
like 10 investigators, because
these were also another marked
944
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,800
change.
Those girls were found in the
945
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:02,100
suburbs of Seattle in a city
named Tigard and both have been
946
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:07,300
missing since the fall of 1982.
So another dump site, a
947
00:56:07,300 --> 00:56:08,700
different one.
Yeah.
948
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:13,400
The FBI refer to this case, as
major case, 77 green murders.
949
00:56:15,900 --> 00:56:18,200
And it was good at the FB I
joined because that made this a
950
00:56:18,207 --> 00:56:21,500
bigger deal.
September brought the discovery
951
00:56:21,500 --> 00:56:26,000
of Mary West, 16, missing since
February 6, 1984.
952
00:56:26,500 --> 00:56:29,200
And then with the feds joining,
there was now a million dollar
953
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,000
Federal grant to expand the task
force in November.
954
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,300
People were sure there was going
to be an arrest now.
955
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,500
Hey still didn't come nothing.
Yeah, that's the original
956
00:56:39,500 --> 00:56:43,700
politician who had backed the
first task force was no longer
957
00:56:43,700 --> 00:56:47,600
in office his name As Randy
Ravel and his replacement Tim
958
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,100
Hill, wasn't all that
enthusiastic about the task
959
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:53,600
force at this point.
So the FBI started looking at
960
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,400
the woman's disappearances and
writing summaries about each of
961
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,800
the reports looking for patterns
in their lives and behaviors
962
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,800
racially, the victims were all
over the place and it seemed the
963
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:08,000
killer didn't have any racial
preference.
964
00:57:08,500 --> 00:57:11,500
They were all strangled though
in some way, sometimes manually
965
00:57:11,500 --> 00:57:13,000
or through some kind of
ligature.
966
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:17,500
They did have one woman who had
survived To being raped, step
967
00:57:17,500 --> 00:57:21,900
beaten and stabbed her name was
Myra Bell from Oregon.
968
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:29,800
She had probably given the most
detail to the guy, but still
969
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:32,800
like it would like the
unfortunately, the definition is
970
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:39,200
still like a white guy with a
beard kind of skinny in a truck
971
00:57:39,500 --> 00:57:42,500
like it's still not good enough.
These little white guys like
972
00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:44,100
that.
Yeah.
973
00:57:46,700 --> 00:57:49,900
Some of the most Brilliant Minds
in policing are now working on
974
00:57:49,900 --> 00:57:51,800
this case, we're talking for
like three and a half years.
975
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,500
They spent over eight million
dollars.
976
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,500
The FBI sent 10 more ages to the
task force.
977
00:57:57,100 --> 00:57:58,900
Everyone was optimistic.
This was it right?
978
00:57:58,900 --> 00:58:02,400
It had to be.
Now, one thing people talk
979
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,800
about, is, the DNA evidence DNA
sequencing was still very new.
980
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,900
Like, I saw an article that
said, like, first killer found
981
00:58:11,900 --> 00:58:15,000
through DNA evidence in like
1985.
982
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:20,300
Oh, oh, right, we're at the
beginning of DNA being used in
983
00:58:20,300 --> 00:58:21,800
the court system, right?
Yeah.
984
00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:26,500
But still, they were like, if
this is a thing that could
985
00:58:26,500 --> 00:58:28,600
happen in the future, we're
going to try and get as much DNA
986
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,000
evidence as we can.
We're clipping all the
987
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,500
fingernails of all the victim.
Yeah, you know, things like
988
00:58:32,500 --> 00:58:36,400
that.
Add Hanson, a member of the task
989
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,600
force came up with the idea of
listen, instead of us going to
990
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:44,400
all these dump sites, which are
up and down Hills and Ravines
991
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,400
swamps and stuff.
Why don't we just hire
992
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:52,800
professional surveyors to
Traverse this area and give us
993
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:58,600
proper Maps which turned out to
be a genius idea and it freed up
994
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,300
the task force instead of them
you know mucking up their way
995
00:59:02,300 --> 00:59:04,700
through it to work on others.
Stuff, route.
996
00:59:04,700 --> 00:59:07,500
True.
Now, just before the new year,
997
00:59:07,500 --> 00:59:10,500
they find Saint Denis major
December 30th.
998
00:59:10,500 --> 00:59:12,000
She was 20 when she went
missing.
999
00:59:12,300 --> 00:59:16,500
December 24th in 1982, she was
actually unidentified until
1000
00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:22,200
2012. her family watched a
documentary on Gary Ridgway and
1001
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:26,000
they went Sandra was around
there that time.
1002
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Wasn't she?
And so they gave they
1003
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,500
specifically called up like,
King County Sheriff's department
1004
00:59:32,500 --> 00:59:36,700
and we're like, we would like to
offer up our DNA and they were
1005
00:59:36,700 --> 00:59:40,300
able to compare it and she was
positively identified, mmm,
1006
00:59:41,500 --> 00:59:44,100
That's terrible.
You just watching a documentary
1007
00:59:44,100 --> 00:59:46,900
of watching a documentary about
a serial killer and you're like,
1008
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,800
Dad, didn't you say that?
I'm Denise used to live in
1009
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,900
Seattle before she went missing.
Do you know what?
1010
00:59:55,900 --> 00:59:58,100
Yeah, you're right.
Oh my God.
1011
00:59:58,100 --> 01:00:02,500
Brutal right?
Yes, So, John Douglas updates
1012
01:00:02,500 --> 01:00:05,700
his initial profile because he
had sent one to the task force
1013
01:00:05,700 --> 01:00:08,800
when they were just calling back
and forth.
1014
01:00:09,700 --> 01:00:12,800
And he actually a made himself
officially available to the task
1015
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,600
force, in January of 1986.
That's because he had gotten
1016
01:00:16,700 --> 01:00:20,300
like really sick.
What's the word?
1017
01:00:20,300 --> 01:00:22,800
I can't remember the name of the
illness, gosh, it's the one.
1018
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:33,900
Unimportant, I didn't write down
those a pose that you can get
1019
01:00:33,900 --> 01:00:36,500
when you live in close contact
with people in college.
1020
01:00:36,500 --> 01:00:39,900
And we had to get a shot for it
is like mono or something.
1021
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:43,500
It's that's, it's not mono but
it's one of those it starts with
1022
01:00:43,500 --> 01:00:47,800
an M but yeah, he had gotten
that illness and he had been
1023
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,300
sick for a while so he was fully
recovered in January of 86.
1024
01:00:51,300 --> 01:00:55,200
So he came over.
I mean I was good because they
1025
01:00:55,200 --> 01:01:01,000
found Jane Doe 17 who is between
the age of 14 and 18 years old.
1026
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,200
They assumed be by the age of
her bones that she'd been
1027
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,600
missing from 80 to 84.
She's still one of the young
1028
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,900
woman, we don't have a positive
ID for 8284.
1029
01:01:10,900 --> 01:01:16,900
Wow, which lends to the belief
that this started before 82.
1030
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,900
Yeah.
Which is another reason why I
1031
01:01:19,908 --> 01:01:25,100
don't believe his little bull
crap about my wife cheated on
1032
01:01:25,100 --> 01:01:28,800
me.
That's why I just had to start
1033
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,200
killing people as I cry.
You were assaulting people while
1034
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,300
before then as soon as you were
able to, you were doing it.
1035
01:01:35,300 --> 01:01:37,800
Exactly.
The second profile for the Green
1036
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:38,900
River.
Killer was pretty close to the
1037
01:01:38,900 --> 01:01:40,600
first though.
Douglas was sure the killer was
1038
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,500
in good, physical shape, and
Outdoorsman, but he also drank
1039
01:01:43,500 --> 01:01:47,700
and smoked, he said, this guy
was not neat, he'd be nocturnal
1040
01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:50,400
drive, a very conservative.
But vehicle souvenirs and
1041
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,100
trophies were very important to
him.
1042
01:01:52,100 --> 01:01:54,300
As well as newspaper clippings
about the murders.
1043
01:01:54,900 --> 01:01:56,800
Both allowed him to relive the
thrill.
1044
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,600
Douglas was sure.
He was in his mid 20s to 30s and
1045
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,600
that his homicides reflected a
certain rage and anger that
1046
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,400
meant he was never going to
stop.
1047
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,900
Now, around this time, they had
some new suspects, anger,
1048
01:02:08,900 --> 01:02:12,100
Rasmussen, and elderly, man who
had a barn full of pictures of
1049
01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:15,300
women, and also posted
advertisements trying to get
1050
01:02:15,300 --> 01:02:18,100
women to come live with him.
They all thought he was a total
1051
01:02:18,100 --> 01:02:20,800
creep, but definitely not strong
enough to carry corpses up and
1052
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,000
down Hills.
The second suspect was Gary
1053
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,400
Ridgway who had claimed, he only
choked a girl because she bit
1054
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,600
him while she was being
serviced, right rev the time.
1055
01:02:31,700 --> 01:02:34,200
They believed that the killer
had a job that required him to
1056
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,600
visit the dump sites or drive by
A them and ridgway's job at
1057
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:41,700
Kenworth Trucking wasn't far
off, but it didn't require him
1058
01:02:41,700 --> 01:02:42,700
to travel, right?
Yeah.
1059
01:02:42,700 --> 01:02:45,300
Because he pointed out to that
one girl was like, hey, that's
1060
01:02:45,300 --> 01:02:47,000
where I work at as right.
Yeah.
1061
01:02:47,300 --> 01:02:52,300
Also they couldn't see someone
with a full-time job stalking
1062
01:02:52,300 --> 01:02:56,000
women and planning this out.
So intensely.
1063
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,900
See one of the things they
thought was that this was being
1064
01:02:58,900 --> 01:03:01,300
planned out but Gary later
explained that it was not
1065
01:03:01,300 --> 01:03:03,700
planned out at all, it was very
impulsive.
1066
01:03:04,300 --> 01:03:06,800
It's very weird.
Not, they should mention that
1067
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,800
like you got a full-time job.
You go wife.
1068
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,400
Yeah, he had a lot going on.
Like how do you find time for
1069
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:16,300
this thought, it's hot.
Listen, I just want to talk to
1070
01:03:16,300 --> 01:03:18,400
you.
How do you find time to murder,
1071
01:03:24,100 --> 01:03:25,900
right?
He really was doing a lot which
1072
01:03:25,900 --> 01:03:29,200
is why he wasn't killing as much
with Judith, but he's not
1073
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,400
married to Judith yet, right?
Right.
1074
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,600
Yeah, So he's doing his third
wave.
1075
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,000
No, yes they're dating.
Yeah, okay.
1076
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,000
And they live together, but
okay, okay.
1077
01:03:40,300 --> 01:03:44,900
Any kid mmm-hmm.
Now he was really hanging out
1078
01:03:44,900 --> 01:03:47,800
with his kid.
So these had to happen happened
1079
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,800
like Monday through Friday.
If he was seeing his son every
1080
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:54,400
weekend and they were going to
things and fixing toys and cars.
1081
01:03:54,400 --> 01:04:00,400
Yeah.
But they decided to pass on Gary
1082
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:04,300
Ridgway as a suspect temporarily
because they were like, he's too
1083
01:04:04,300 --> 01:04:08,100
busy to be doing all this.
Also, he did pass a lie-detector
1084
01:04:08,100 --> 01:04:11,300
test.
They decide to fix it on this
1085
01:04:11,300 --> 01:04:13,700
guy named bear Barney taken
board.
1086
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:15,900
He was middle-aged.
He was obsessed with killing
1087
01:04:15,900 --> 01:04:18,300
dogs, and he would do it in many
different ways.
1088
01:04:18,300 --> 01:04:21,400
Like traps rifles, Groats,
knives, ice picks.
1089
01:04:21,900 --> 01:04:26,600
Several people had actually
called the police on Barney
1090
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,300
chicken burger more.
Like, are you sure he's not the
1091
01:04:29,300 --> 01:04:33,200
Green River Killer.
He's in fact, he had even
1092
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,800
inadvertently.
Worked beside a police informant
1093
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:42,400
at a cement mixing job.
And police were like hey you
1094
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,200
worked with that guy?
Can you tell us about him?
1095
01:04:44,700 --> 01:04:47,700
And so the informant was like,
listen, he strong athletic, he
1096
01:04:47,700 --> 01:04:50,500
spends all his free time in the
woods, he loves to kill things
1097
01:04:50,500 --> 01:04:52,400
and he loves to talk about
killing things.
1098
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:56,300
In fact, taking Borg had even
shown the informant, his
1099
01:04:56,300 --> 01:04:59,800
Library, full of books and
magazines about human anatomy
1100
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:03,500
and how to kill people.
Ticking Borg.
1101
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:07,100
Also visited a lot of sex
workers so they decide to spend
1102
01:05:07,100 --> 01:05:12,000
most of January, interviewing
everyone, he knew February 6th,
1103
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,600
1986, the FBI, and the task
force went to the ticking board
1104
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,900
house, which was a block from
the pack Highway.
1105
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,700
Hmm.
They'd already picked Barney up
1106
01:05:20,700 --> 01:05:23,100
on his way home from work.
He had been getting a ride home
1107
01:05:23,100 --> 01:05:26,500
from his boss and they like
ordered him out of the car.
1108
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,600
Oh Doom, he was questioned for
hours, the police picked up
1109
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,000
every blood-stained.
Item in his house to try and
1110
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,300
test it, it was eventually
proven that ticking Borg was
1111
01:05:36,300 --> 01:05:38,400
just a weird guy, but he wasn't
a murderer.
1112
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,300
No, he just knew how to kill
people and, you know, he just
1113
01:05:41,300 --> 01:05:43,800
like wants to read about it, but
he doesn't know how to do it,
1114
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:45,000
right?
Okay.
1115
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,600
I guess he's a, he's a hobby.
Yes, I guess.
1116
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:53,800
So, in the meantime, March 27th,
1986 brought the discovery of
1117
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:57,600
Tracy Winston, she was 19 had
been missing since September 12
1118
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,100
1983.
She wouldn't be identified for
1119
01:06:00,100 --> 01:06:03,500
another 16 years and that's
That's because her mandible was
1120
01:06:03,500 --> 01:06:05,400
missing and so were all of her
teeth.
1121
01:06:05,500 --> 01:06:09,600
Mmm, the leader of the task
force Frank, Adams, and was just
1122
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,400
faced in a lot of backlash and
he was tired.
1123
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,500
He would go on to run it until
January 1987.
1124
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:21,100
But even as early as March of
86, he knew He knew that his
1125
01:06:21,100 --> 01:06:24,700
time was coming to an end spring
brought.
1126
01:06:24,700 --> 01:06:29,200
The discovery of maroon Marine
Sue Feeny, who have been missing
1127
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:34,000
since September of 1983, she was
found on May 2nd, her bones were
1128
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:39,600
withered and south of the
juncture at Highway 18 and
1129
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:43,200
Highway 90.
June 14th, Kimberly Nelson was
1130
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:46,700
found near I-94.
She was 21 years old when she
1131
01:06:46,700 --> 01:06:50,800
gone missing November 1st 1983.
Heartbreakingly, her father
1132
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,800
died.
A few months before she was
1133
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,400
positively ID.
And then her sister had a
1134
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:59,800
nervous breakdown after so much
grief in such a short amount of
1135
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,700
time and I understand Miss
Nelson, because I've been there
1136
01:07:05,300 --> 01:07:08,500
The end of June brought the
discovery of Cindy and Smith 17
1137
01:07:08,500 --> 01:07:10,900
missing since March twenty
first, Nineteen Eighty-Four
1138
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:12,600
probably.
The only good thing that
1139
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,300
happened in 1986 was that women
had stopped going missing from
1140
01:07:16,300 --> 01:07:19,400
the area and it was definitely a
sign of the Green River, Killer
1141
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,600
had slowed down, or stopped or
moved on.
1142
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,900
And then just like that, they
stopped finding bodies to huh.
1143
01:07:25,300 --> 01:07:28,100
At the end of 1986, it was
decided, the task force would be
1144
01:07:28,100 --> 01:07:31,900
downsized. 25% of the crew was
sent to different departments.
1145
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,700
Adamson was given the bad news.
And he knew that that meant he
1146
01:07:35,700 --> 01:07:39,100
was going to be next.
His boss actually called him in.
1147
01:07:39,100 --> 01:07:44,600
And went listen, we got a job.
You could be a major and Maple
1148
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:49,500
Valley and you could like leave
a major.
1149
01:07:49,500 --> 01:07:54,300
You say, well I mean, so when he
told his boss, he's like yeah
1150
01:07:54,300 --> 01:07:57,300
I'll go to the new Precinct, his
boss is like you made the right
1151
01:07:57,300 --> 01:08:01,300
choice pretty much implying that
if you didn't take this job, you
1152
01:08:01,300 --> 01:08:03,400
were gonna lose your other one.
Yeah.
1153
01:08:04,500 --> 01:08:08,900
They brought in Jim Pompey to
take over the now slightly
1154
01:08:08,900 --> 01:08:13,200
smaller task force, he hadn't
kept up with all the details and
1155
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,900
so he was kind of fresh eyes.
There was this Sort of hope that
1156
01:08:15,900 --> 01:08:18,700
the killings would stop and the
task force would just disappear
1157
01:08:18,899 --> 01:08:20,899
and everybody would just forget
what had happened.
1158
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,700
Now, Jim Pompeii song name pop
up over and over in their system
1159
01:08:25,700 --> 01:08:28,399
and he just couldn't let it go.
First there was this time this
1160
01:08:28,399 --> 01:08:31,200
guy got arrested for picking up
a prostitute and she was
1161
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,399
actually come.
This was the same guy who'd gone
1162
01:08:34,399 --> 01:08:37,700
parking with Kelly came again
assess and she'd never been seen
1163
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,600
the same man who admitted to
strangling Penny Bristow after
1164
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,700
she bit him the same man that
Jim Julian.
1165
01:08:43,700 --> 01:08:46,399
Had talked to in front of the
KFC, where many of the women who
1166
01:08:46,399 --> 01:08:49,200
had gone missing like to hang
out the same man who drove will
1167
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:53,100
pick up Chuck's and match the
description of every Witness who
1168
01:08:53,100 --> 01:08:56,500
described the Green River
Killer, like it's so surprising,
1169
01:08:56,500 --> 01:09:01,200
how he was a call Early here.
The Gary Ridgway, they knew he
1170
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,399
was happily married had a young
son, and 1984, he passed the
1171
01:09:04,399 --> 01:09:07,000
polygraph test.
He didn't fit the parameters of
1172
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,000
the original profile Pompeii was
like, I don't care.
1173
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,300
We're going to put them under
surveillance.
1174
01:09:11,899 --> 01:09:14,100
They submitted evidence for a
search warrant for Gary,
1175
01:09:14,100 --> 01:09:17,399
ridgway's house and on April
8th. 1987 they picked him up.
1176
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,399
This was everything.
It was a search warrant for his
1177
01:09:21,399 --> 01:09:22,600
car, his father.
Father's car.
1178
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:26,100
His wife's car, as well as his
house and his locker at camera.
1179
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:29,700
Trucking, they also demanded
hair samples from Ridgeway and
1180
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,700
this is also when he gave the
saliva sample, that would
1181
01:09:32,700 --> 01:09:36,399
eventually get him caught, it
would take weeks before they got
1182
01:09:36,399 --> 01:09:38,700
the results of the initial
symbols that they took from his
1183
01:09:38,700 --> 01:09:41,100
house.
Weirdly enough Gary didn't
1184
01:09:41,100 --> 01:09:43,899
threaten to sue the police
officers, which is what most of
1185
01:09:43,899 --> 01:09:47,600
the previous suspects did
afterward.
1186
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,800
He just went back to normal like
they kept him under
1187
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,800
surveillance.
He was he However, kind of
1188
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,500
pissed off that his co-workers
started calling him Green River,
1189
01:09:55,500 --> 01:09:58,800
Gary.
Well, sir, it won't be dumping
1190
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,200
bodies a Green River.
Well, it's kind of thing.
1191
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,900
I wondered if maybe he wasn't
getting the attention, he
1192
01:10:03,900 --> 01:10:06,500
wanted.
What do you got if you want the
1193
01:10:06,500 --> 01:10:09,200
attention of being a murderer of
being someone who controlled
1194
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,300
women?
Not being made, fun of my being
1195
01:10:12,300 --> 01:10:15,000
made fun of by his coworker?
Well, I'm sorry sir.
1196
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:17,500
But if you were my cool work I'd
make fun of you too.
1197
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,700
Well, 1987, they only discovered
the remains of one woman, Cindy
1198
01:10:21,700 --> 01:10:25,800
and Smith 17 when she went
missing in March of 1984, she
1199
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:30,000
was found on June.
He 7th, 1987 off of Highway, 89
1200
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:31,800
near Green River Community
College.
1201
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:37,200
James Pompey, didn't actually
get to be task force leader for
1202
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:42,400
very long because he went diving
in 1987 and he resurfaced to
1203
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,800
quickly God and died from a
pulmonary embolism.
1204
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:49,400
Why y'all do that?
Wait, just wait.
1205
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,300
Lieutenant, Greg Boyle took over
temporarily and it was given a
1206
01:10:52,300 --> 01:10:56,900
Bobby Evans in. 1987, the task
force actually had other losses.
1207
01:10:57,100 --> 01:10:59,400
To several detectives got
leukemia.
1208
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,700
During this time period had to
leave others.
1209
01:11:01,700 --> 01:11:04,500
Had heart problems.
One was just super depressed and
1210
01:11:04,500 --> 01:11:07,500
had a like breakdown and was
like I'm done being a police
1211
01:11:07,500 --> 01:11:12,200
officer forever over the course
of this five-year investigation.
1212
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,200
It took a toll on the people of
trying to find him.
1213
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:20,700
And then I was 1988.
They discovered Deborah.
1214
01:11:20,700 --> 01:11:23,500
Lorraine asked as she was 15,
when she been missing and she
1215
01:11:23,500 --> 01:11:27,500
been gone for nearly six years.
Wow, she was found on the 200
1216
01:11:27,500 --> 01:11:30,800
block of South 346 Street where
they were going to be building
1217
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,500
an apartment complex.
Now, they had started
1218
01:11:32,500 --> 01:11:37,000
construction there in 1982 and
they are getting around to the
1219
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:41,600
point of, I guess, adding a,
what's the word playground?
1220
01:11:42,100 --> 01:11:45,500
So, when they went to dig the
holes to put the swings in, they
1221
01:11:45,500 --> 01:11:52,500
found a o with skeletal remains.
Originally, they had they
1222
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:54,400
immediately took her body to
the.
1223
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,300
I mean, we're like we need to
know.
1224
01:11:56,900 --> 01:12:02,800
Has she been there since 1982?
Or was she put here more
1225
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:06,100
recently or put here?
Because originally when that
1226
01:12:06,100 --> 01:12:08,800
gets they raised the entire area
they flattened it.
1227
01:12:08,900 --> 01:12:12,600
They also just dropped a load of
dirt on the spot where they were
1228
01:12:12,608 --> 01:12:14,800
going to build.
So they were worried about
1229
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,300
whether she had been put in the
truck.
1230
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:19,100
Hmm.
But it was determined that she
1231
01:12:19,100 --> 01:12:23,200
died in 1982 so that was her
initial spot where they her body
1232
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:24,100
was dumped.
Okay?
1233
01:12:27,500 --> 01:12:35,300
her family had they really tried
like going so far as to Appear
1234
01:12:35,300 --> 01:12:39,500
on Oprah January of 88, like
months before they find her.
1235
01:12:40,900 --> 01:12:43,500
And they were asking for any
information, they could find
1236
01:12:43,500 --> 01:12:45,900
Deborah's.
Mom was like, listen if we can't
1237
01:12:45,900 --> 01:12:48,800
get her home maybe she'll be the
one to break the case.
1238
01:12:52,100 --> 01:12:56,400
This exploded the possibility of
murderers though, because over a
1239
01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:00,100
six-year period, there have been
hundreds of laborers, truck,
1240
01:13:00,100 --> 01:13:03,600
drivers electricians and
plumbers on the site, they had
1241
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,500
to get a master list of all the
contractors and began working
1242
01:13:06,500 --> 01:13:09,300
their way through it, connecting
that and to any of the potential
1243
01:13:09,300 --> 01:13:12,300
women on the list, testing the
paint chips found on her
1244
01:13:12,300 --> 01:13:14,600
clothing.
They discovered it was a very
1245
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:18,700
expensive paint called Ameren
manufactured by Dupont used on
1246
01:13:18,700 --> 01:13:23,800
commercial vehicles.
And if you remember someone, we
1247
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:28,500
talked about Painted commercial
vehicles for his entire career.
1248
01:13:30,900 --> 01:13:37,400
I don't remember.
Well, the first TV show about
1249
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,200
Gary Ridgway was released
September 7, 1988.
1250
01:13:41,100 --> 01:13:44,000
It was called Manhunt a chance
to end the Nightmare.
1251
01:13:44,300 --> 01:13:47,000
And this was kind of the task
force last ditch effort to try
1252
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:51,600
and find some information.
They talked to everybody
1253
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:57,200
families them are victims, the
FBI, all the detectives, they
1254
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,300
got 16,000 phone calls that
night.
1255
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,400
And by the end of the week, they
had 2,000 new suspects.
1256
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:06,400
Nice.
Lovely.
1257
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,300
They found Andrea.
Well, here's the problem.
1258
01:14:11,300 --> 01:14:16,500
No, it didn't help at all.
What they already have the
1259
01:14:16,500 --> 01:14:19,000
person in their records and
they've interviewed him.
1260
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:23,000
Now three-time what knows he
might not be the guy you talking
1261
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,400
about your other people out
there.
1262
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,800
You'll go to the whole world.
Okay, well, they find Andrea
1263
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:32,400
Marie.
Chowder on October 9th, 1989
1264
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,600
buried near the South Airport
dump site.
1265
01:14:34,700 --> 01:14:39,100
She had been 17 when she went
missing April 14th, 1982.
1266
01:14:41,100 --> 01:14:46,200
Hmm, which lets us know that
he's been rotating these dump
1267
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,600
sites.
She probably was one of the
1268
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,600
first people to be left near the
airport.
1269
01:14:56,100 --> 01:15:00,900
So I'm saying this is so planned
out, so this me he had a list of
1270
01:15:00,900 --> 01:15:03,400
potential places.
He could drop the bodies, right?
1271
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,500
Yeah.
Never put one more than one
1272
01:15:05,500 --> 01:15:08,100
there at a given time.
Exactly.
1273
01:15:08,100 --> 01:15:10,600
Wow.
It's just that you guys found
1274
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:14,200
them at this one spot and then
you save it for a while
1275
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,800
searching and then they keep
finding more near they all come
1276
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,600
from like different time,
period.
1277
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:19,600
Yeah, it's not like he's
changed.
1278
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,100
He's not changing them.
While you're searching for
1279
01:15:22,100 --> 01:15:24,200
though.
He's like, rotating from spot to
1280
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,900
spot as he's killing.
With him, it's weird.
1281
01:15:26,900 --> 01:15:28,900
Yeah.
Well the task force fixate on a
1282
01:15:28,900 --> 01:15:33,600
guy named Bill Stevens he had a
mask kind of like Ridgeway but
1283
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,900
ultimately he wasn't the killer,
the guy was a liar who pretended
1284
01:15:36,900 --> 01:15:39,900
to be different important jobs
and he'd try and impress sex
1285
01:15:39,900 --> 01:15:42,100
workers.
It was weird.
1286
01:15:42,700 --> 01:15:45,900
Reflex where okay?
Okay, 1990 came.
1287
01:15:45,900 --> 01:15:49,000
The task force was on the verge
of just being completely cut,
1288
01:15:49,700 --> 01:15:52,500
most of the Manpower and the
money got pulled back into major
1289
01:15:52,500 --> 01:15:57,800
crime unit.
It was Pared down to 17 people
1290
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:01,700
by 1998, spent fifteen million
dollars.
1291
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,200
The public looks at it, like,
they had wasted a lot of money.
1292
01:16:06,100 --> 01:16:09,300
The thing is this task force did
have some pretty one like great
1293
01:16:09,300 --> 01:16:12,400
detectives.
I mean, literally it had the
1294
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:16,400
creators of the Behavioral
Science unit, who wrote the book
1295
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,800
on profiling, right attached to
this.
1296
01:16:20,900 --> 01:16:23,400
In fact, one of the Special
Agents from the FBI, his name
1297
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:28,100
was Paul Lindsay who had come on
in 1986 and really believed that
1298
01:16:28,100 --> 01:16:31,200
they could find the Green River.
Killer ended up telling Frank.
1299
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:42,500
Adamson Captain, I am humbled.
just like, We're the best of the
1300
01:16:42,500 --> 01:16:47,200
best and we're at a loss.
Dave Reichert, who had been
1301
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,500
there since the beginning as a
young detective.
1302
01:16:49,500 --> 01:16:53,600
Now, headlines on his face and
grey hair, some of the original
1303
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,600
task force had just retired.
Many of them just losing the
1304
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:04,300
will to keep fighting I kind of
had no sympathy for them.
1305
01:17:05,300 --> 01:17:07,500
Like, I feel bad that you all
spent.
1306
01:17:07,500 --> 01:17:10,400
This like, all this time, like
searching for this person that
1307
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,300
you've already interviewed,
like, three different times,
1308
01:17:12,300 --> 01:17:13,900
it's rough.
I see, because I don't feel like
1309
01:17:13,900 --> 01:17:17,600
this is the same thing as what
happened with Yorkshire Ripper.
1310
01:17:17,700 --> 01:17:20,500
I guess why?
I keep thinking of because one,
1311
01:17:20,500 --> 01:17:22,300
they also interviewed the
Yorkshire Ripper like nine
1312
01:17:22,300 --> 01:17:27,600
times, yeah.
But Like it was out of Dave
1313
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,000
records.
Like he didn't know how
1314
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,200
polygraph testing Merc wasn't
his fault that it was done
1315
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,400
wrong.
You know, like bringing
1316
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:38,900
offerings belief that he had
passed and back.
1317
01:17:38,900 --> 01:17:41,800
Then we put a lot more weight
and to polygraph testing than we
1318
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:42,800
do.
Now this is true.
1319
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,100
Yeah, so they were like oh this
guy passed the test, he's just a
1320
01:17:46,108 --> 01:17:51,100
weirdo, let's estimate again.
And the we have a history of
1321
01:17:51,100 --> 01:17:54,700
dealing of dealing with sex
workers but this is an area.
1322
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:59,200
Because of where the airport is,
that has a lot of sex workers
1323
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,600
and we've interviewed a lot of
men who enter, you know what I
1324
01:18:01,608 --> 01:18:05,600
mean?
So I understand what I everybody
1325
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,500
was really feeling kind of
demoralized because in the past
1326
01:18:08,500 --> 01:18:11,900
18 months, all of their top
suspects have been cleared.
1327
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:16,300
Except for Gary, Ridgway they
found Martha, Reeves September
1328
01:18:16,300 --> 01:18:20,900
of 1990, she'd actually gone
missing in 1990 as well and
1329
01:18:20,900 --> 01:18:23,900
like, it's really interesting
because in the Green River
1330
01:18:23,900 --> 01:18:26,700
Running book, Look.
I feel like an rule kind of
1331
01:18:26,700 --> 01:18:31,900
glossed over this, but this was
the first like fresh kill 1990.
1332
01:18:31,900 --> 01:18:38,900
Yeah, in like years.
Since like 84, he killed.
1333
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:43,500
He, she went missing in 1990 and
he killed her in 1990, that
1334
01:18:43,500 --> 01:18:45,200
meant he was back on his
bullshit.
1335
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:51,000
Yeah.
Marta had was 36.
1336
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:54,300
She's also one of the older
victims because normally he had
1337
01:18:54,300 --> 01:18:57,900
a thing for teenagers, she
called actually the night that
1338
01:18:57,900 --> 01:19:00,200
she went missing, she called her
husband and asked for money.
1339
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:03,400
He did not, he declined because
she had a serious cocaine
1340
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:09,800
problem and they were separated
She said kind of sadly.
1341
01:19:09,900 --> 01:19:11,300
Okay.
Then I'll have to work all
1342
01:19:11,300 --> 01:19:14,000
night.
Her husband, was he delivering
1343
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,600
the mail about a month later, it
had her driver's license in it.
1344
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,200
It's very common to, if you find
somebody's wallet or driver's
1345
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,400
license, you put it in the mail
and you deliver it back to their
1346
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:24,900
house, right?
So there's no guarantee that
1347
01:19:24,900 --> 01:19:27,800
that came from Gary Ridgway, but
he did go to the police with it
1348
01:19:28,100 --> 01:19:30,800
and by the time they tried
finger, it had been touched like
1349
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:34,800
12 different times.
They couldn't get clear print to
1350
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:36,600
put it through the database
anyway.
1351
01:19:36,900 --> 01:19:40,500
She was found ultimately near
Highway 410, one of his favorite
1352
01:19:40,500 --> 01:19:43,800
spots.
Over the next couple of years,
1353
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:47,400
they find Roberta Hayes on
September 11th 1991, missing
1354
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:51,300
since 87 Patricia bark.
Sack on February 3rd 1983,
1355
01:19:51,300 --> 01:19:55,500
missing since October of 86
Patricia, yellow robe, and
1356
01:19:55,500 --> 01:20:00,200
August of 1998, missing since
January of 1998, another one in
1357
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:05,200
the same year, just proof that
he hadn't stopped but he had
1358
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:07,500
slowed down so much that they
weren't gaining any new
1359
01:20:07,500 --> 01:20:09,800
information about the crime,
right?
1360
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:14,900
And then we came to 2001, Gary
secure, he's like, I fooled,
1361
01:20:14,900 --> 01:20:18,400
these cops their bums, I passed
that polygraph test.
1362
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,400
But if they pick me up again, I
won't take it again because, you
1363
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:28,700
know, maybe won't have faith.
Yeah, - a test them again, just
1364
01:20:28,700 --> 01:20:31,100
in.
Begin on the surface, the task
1365
01:20:31,100 --> 01:20:34,800
force was gone, but in reality,
it was kind of like just
1366
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,700
waiting.
Now, Frank Adamson had moved to
1367
01:20:37,700 --> 01:20:40,500
the new Criminal Justice Center,
South of the airport and he was
1368
01:20:40,500 --> 01:20:43,100
chief of criminal investigation.
Action Unit.
1369
01:20:43,300 --> 01:20:46,200
Bob keppel got a doctorate wrote
a couple books taught a course,
1370
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:48,500
called homicide of the
University of Washington.
1371
01:20:48,500 --> 01:20:50,400
It was wildly popular.
Hmm.
1372
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:54,100
Dave Reichert continue to move
up through the ranks when the
1373
01:20:54,100 --> 01:20:56,400
police chief in King County
decided to move on to the
1374
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,500
suburbs, they actually offered
the job of police chief to
1375
01:20:59,500 --> 01:21:05,300
Adamson but he passed on it.
Dave was almost 50 and He
1376
01:21:05,300 --> 01:21:08,800
decided he wanted to be police
chief of King County.
1377
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:13,500
In fact, in rural actually
helped him campaign to get the
1378
01:21:13,500 --> 01:21:14,800
job.
Nice.
1379
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,300
So one of the main cops on the
ground, with the Green River
1380
01:21:17,300 --> 01:21:20,400
task, force meant that it wasn't
over.
1381
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:26,800
Sodium DNA sequencing, a come a
long time in a decade or so, and
1382
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:28,800
they still had those hair and
saliva samples.
1383
01:21:29,300 --> 01:21:34,700
So they have this new technique
and it had been developed in
1384
01:21:34,700 --> 01:21:40,100
1996 and the state has started
running evidence through the new
1385
01:21:40,100 --> 01:21:46,200
system with the do need new DNA
evidence, but With the way the
1386
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:49,500
backlog, there was just a
tremendous backlog, so it would
1387
01:21:49,500 --> 01:21:53,200
take five years before Gary.
Ridgway's sample, that he gave
1388
01:21:53,300 --> 01:21:56,500
to get properly sequenced and
put in the system, right?
1389
01:21:56,500 --> 01:22:00,300
Yeah.
In the meantime though, Dave's
1390
01:22:00,300 --> 01:22:04,100
like, listen, we're going to go
through all the old evidence.
1391
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:09,500
And he sends it to Beverly
hemic, who's part of the
1392
01:22:09,500 --> 01:22:13,900
Washington State Patrol crime
lab and they rent all the
1393
01:22:13,900 --> 01:22:16,400
fingernails of the victims to
look for trace evidence.
1394
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:21,100
They swab, any ligature marks
that they had for cellular you
1395
01:22:21,100 --> 01:22:25,000
know data this is actually
probably the grossest detail in
1396
01:22:25,008 --> 01:22:28,600
the whole thing so they still
have pubic hair from a victim
1397
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:34,800
and when they went and looked at
it under a microscope, there
1398
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:39,900
were Still a couple of sperm
cells what clinging to a piece
1399
01:22:39,900 --> 01:22:43,900
of hair.
How what they found three
1400
01:22:43,900 --> 01:22:50,600
different good bits of DNA from
three different women, three
1401
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:57,100
different victims and then they
had that sequence, DNA profile
1402
01:22:57,500 --> 01:23:03,000
from Gary Ridgway and all three
victims matched.
1403
01:23:03,300 --> 01:23:12,200
Oh ho ho Somewhere.
They came down on him hard.
1404
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:16,000
He was 52 and still arrogant as
ever.
1405
01:23:16,100 --> 01:23:19,100
He was charged with Marcia
Chapman opal Mills Cynthia,
1406
01:23:19,100 --> 01:23:23,100
Hines and Carol and Christiansen
on November 30th 2001.
1407
01:23:23,500 --> 01:23:27,600
There was a lot of Triumph in
Washington state and Rule said
1408
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:30,300
in her book, that she saved the
voicemail she got from Dave
1409
01:23:30,300 --> 01:23:34,700
Reichert which was him calling
and yelling into the phone.
1410
01:23:34,900 --> 01:23:40,100
We've arrested the Green River.
Killer I just love that I would
1411
01:23:40,100 --> 01:23:43,300
do the same.
Oh my God.
1412
01:23:43,300 --> 01:23:49,200
Yes, now I will let you know how
much time passed so in rule as
1413
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:55,000
written a lot of books and she
was involved with kind of
1414
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,700
talking to the people who
worked, the Green, River case
1415
01:23:57,900 --> 01:24:01,800
from 1982 and on, and the time
period from the time that first
1416
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:04,100
murder happened to the time they
caught him.
1417
01:24:04,300 --> 01:24:11,600
She wrote 19 books About
different cases, that's a books.
1418
01:24:12,100 --> 01:24:16,200
It had really been a long time
for a lot of people, but it
1419
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:19,000
wasn't over yet.
Now the task force is like,
1420
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:22,200
nooner know he's responsible for
way more than four.
1421
01:24:22,900 --> 01:24:27,000
So now, they're like, task force
reanimated.
1422
01:24:27,700 --> 01:24:31,300
They pull everybody back.
They pour over every single
1423
01:24:31,300 --> 01:24:32,800
detail.
They have about Ridgeway
1424
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,300
discovering discrepancies from
his prior.
1425
01:24:35,300 --> 01:24:37,400
Testimony that hadn't seemed
back in.
1426
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:40,700
Important back then, like him
lying about the fact that his
1427
01:24:40,700 --> 01:24:43,000
first wife wasn't a skinny
blond.
1428
01:24:43,500 --> 01:24:45,400
Really?
She had been overweight and a
1429
01:24:45,407 --> 01:24:48,500
brunette and her weight loss had
triggered his insecurities.
1430
01:24:48,900 --> 01:24:51,800
He had a weird thing about
blondes, he like in a real
1431
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,000
creepy way and one of the
interviews I read from him, he
1432
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,800
talked about how blondes were
special.
1433
01:24:59,300 --> 01:25:04,500
Then the task force began.
Just the awful task of
1434
01:25:04,500 --> 01:25:08,000
interviewing.
Everyone who had known Gary
1435
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:12,600
Ridgway.
Ever or worked with him ever?
1436
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:14,800
Well Gary.
Yeah, he seemed a little weird
1437
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:16,800
but you know, he's just the
everyday guy.
1438
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:20,400
Well, no, actually one of his
former co-workers recounted a
1439
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:23,900
story where he had given her a
ride home and they were talking
1440
01:25:23,900 --> 01:25:27,800
about the case and he kept
asking her like oh they they
1441
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,200
deserve what happened to And
those prostitutes and you never
1442
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:34,500
be a prostitute, would you?
And she realized in hindsight,
1443
01:25:34,500 --> 01:25:38,700
like, holy hell, I guess I
answered his questions
1444
01:25:38,700 --> 01:25:41,700
correctly.
When he have killed me, if I
1445
01:25:41,700 --> 01:25:44,400
told him that I would consider
being a prostitute.
1446
01:25:45,100 --> 01:25:47,300
Anybody would, that's what I'm
saying?
1447
01:25:47,300 --> 01:25:49,400
Everybody's got a price, I feel
like everybody's got a price.
1448
01:25:49,900 --> 01:25:55,000
That's just me, though.
Personally, oh my God.
1449
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:57,500
I remember them talking about
what's-her-name China.
1450
01:25:57,700 --> 01:25:59,700
Yeah.
But like they, Like so-and-so
1451
01:25:59,700 --> 01:26:02,600
paid her 50 thousand dollars to
be in the threesome with them.
1452
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:06,400
I'm like that's a lot of money.
That's more than most people
1453
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:13,600
make a year to go be with t.i.
entitled that's good - oh my God
1454
01:26:13,900 --> 01:26:18,300
and tax-free yes just saying
everybody's got a price but
1455
01:26:18,300 --> 01:26:20,800
regardless what yeah one of his
co-workers he like gave her a
1456
01:26:20,808 --> 01:26:23,500
ride home and like was real
creepy and she was just like I'm
1457
01:26:23,500 --> 01:26:26,500
not going to take a ride from
Gary anymore because it's true.
1458
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:31,000
A lot of stuff.
They real, they learn the real
1459
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:32,600
reason.
His marriage has failed and
1460
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:36,800
because he tried to choke her
several times and interviewing
1461
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,600
his second wife, that's when
they learned about all the
1462
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:41,800
different places that he liked
to go and have sex with and how
1463
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,600
those ended up being places.
He eventually dumped the bodies,
1464
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:48,800
they interviewed Judith as well
and she was completely none.
1465
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,700
The wiser super blindsided they
spent hours upon hours talking
1466
01:26:52,700 --> 01:26:54,800
to his son Chad, and that's how
they learned.
1467
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:58,000
That Gary had maintained the
facade of being like a good
1468
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,000
father.
They actually originally placed
1469
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,800
him in an ultra security cell in
King County jail, so that guards
1470
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,700
could watch him 24/7.
They were worried that he might
1471
01:27:06,700 --> 01:27:10,400
and himself.
His mug shot was on the cover of
1472
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:13,500
every newspaper in North America
and and Rule didn't remember
1473
01:27:13,700 --> 01:27:18,100
ever meeting him.
But apparently, Gary, Ridgway
1474
01:27:18,100 --> 01:27:22,300
new, an and knew that an was
looking into his case because
1475
01:27:22,300 --> 01:27:24,900
her daughter Leslie called her
the next day.
1476
01:27:24,900 --> 01:27:28,600
December.
First and said he was at a book
1477
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:36,800
signing, So apparently, Leslie
told her mom that he'd show up,
1478
01:27:37,700 --> 01:27:40,300
didn't pick up a book, didn't
buy anything, and he would just
1479
01:27:40,300 --> 01:27:43,500
stare at, and the entire time,
like it bothered her and brought
1480
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:46,700
her so much that she had told
her, there was a weird guy here
1481
01:27:46,700 --> 01:27:51,200
who was staring at you, but and
was just like, this is what
1482
01:27:51,500 --> 01:27:53,100
celebrity.
Yeah, it's part of being a
1483
01:27:53,108 --> 01:27:55,800
celebrity.
Yeah, apparently Leslie had also
1484
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:59,000
seen him at some of her mom's
speaking engagements to.
1485
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:00,700
So she had been keeping an eye
out.
1486
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:03,700
For this weird guy.
One of those speaking
1487
01:28:03,700 --> 01:28:07,600
engagements and said, no one
knows who the Green River Killer
1488
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:09,400
is or what he looks like for
all.
1489
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:14,000
I know he could be sitting here
tonight and he was home on
1490
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:17,100
because he wanted to know what
she knew about him.
1491
01:28:18,100 --> 01:28:19,700
Talking about a creepy
situation.
1492
01:28:19,700 --> 01:28:23,300
Yeah.
Oh my God, they went back.
1493
01:28:23,300 --> 01:28:25,600
They looked over all the old
crime scenes, with new crime
1494
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:28,800
Tech's.
There were some, I couldn't get
1495
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,300
to you because they had been
built on or paved over.
1496
01:28:31,700 --> 01:28:35,000
They completely ripped apart the
Ridgeway house, he was formally
1497
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,600
charged with four murders on
December 5th.
1498
01:28:37,700 --> 01:28:41,400
And then December 8, the
governor allocated 500,000
1499
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:45,600
dollars for DNA, testing the
other 45 victims to see if they
1500
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:50,100
could be connected to him too.
Captain Bruce Caitlin took over
1501
01:28:50,100 --> 01:28:52,800
the task force, they began
quietly.
1502
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:55,900
Buying all of his old trucks
that they could find a lot of
1503
01:28:55,900 --> 01:28:59,700
them were scrapped and you know,
push them a little squares but
1504
01:28:59,700 --> 01:29:01,500
they did find a few in his
house.
1505
01:29:01,500 --> 01:29:04,500
They also cataloged every bead
every piece of jewelry that they
1506
01:29:04,500 --> 01:29:09,300
could find it belonged to them.
Now the task force got to move
1507
01:29:09,300 --> 01:29:11,400
into a fancy new building in the
beginning of March.
1508
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:14,000
In 2002, ye not one that's
falling apart.
1509
01:29:14,100 --> 01:29:17,800
Awesome.
Now there was funding To try and
1510
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,500
connect him to these 48, murders
the time.
1511
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:24,000
The 14 investigators kept all
this information close to their
1512
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:26,100
chest though.
The information they were
1513
01:29:26,100 --> 01:29:29,200
sorting through was Monumental
and they didn't want any of this
1514
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:31,900
getting out.
They actually recovered his work
1515
01:29:31,900 --> 01:29:35,200
overalls from his job.
And those paint specs that they
1516
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:38,100
had found.
They found, they found paint
1517
01:29:38,100 --> 01:29:42,300
specs on eight different people
and they were able to confirm
1518
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:45,600
Wendy Coffield had that same
pain on her.
1519
01:29:45,700 --> 01:29:49,900
Deborah asked is Deborah Bonner.
So they charged him with those
1520
01:29:49,900 --> 01:29:52,800
murders on March 27th.
Yeah, nice.
1521
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,500
Now, interestingly enough,
normally with the passage of
1522
01:29:55,500 --> 01:29:59,800
time it makes it harder to make
to fix things but because
1523
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,100
forensic capabilities had
improved so greatly and this
1524
01:30:03,100 --> 01:30:06,400
like 15 year time period.
This was actually better for
1525
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:11,600
them and just all I can say is
thank God that Dame Reichert and
1526
01:30:11,900 --> 01:30:17,100
Dick kraske were as meticulous
as they were with the the crime
1527
01:30:17,100 --> 01:30:21,700
scenes because there's A lot of
cases that got blundered in the
1528
01:30:21,700 --> 01:30:25,300
80s and 70s, it was running over
a price because people just
1529
01:30:25,300 --> 01:30:27,700
walked through the crime scenes
and messed him all up, right?
1530
01:30:27,700 --> 01:30:29,700
Right.
There was a situation at the,
1531
01:30:29,700 --> 01:30:33,800
the river with those first three
bodies where dick craft actually
1532
01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:38,600
noticed that they had put the
bodies in the wrong back.
1533
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,300
Like the names were messed up
and he was like, stop stop stop.
1534
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:47,500
We got to redo this whole thing,
so like at least the two of them
1535
01:30:47,500 --> 01:30:49,000
had been so mad.
Nicholas.
1536
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:53,100
Because now we had all this
evidence to go retest again.
1537
01:30:55,500 --> 01:30:59,500
So they were moving towards
having a trial in 2004 of course
1538
01:30:59,500 --> 01:31:01,800
we never get to a trial there
was a deal.
1539
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:05,200
Negotiated on June 13th 2003
that said if they agreed not to
1540
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:08,000
seek the death penalty against
him, he would plead guilty to
1541
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:11,200
all the homicides in King
County, the ones the police know
1542
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:15,200
about and the ones they didn't
implying.
1543
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:19,700
There's some you don't know
about Now something must have
1544
01:31:19,700 --> 01:31:21,900
happened with that deal because
originally they said it didn't
1545
01:31:21,900 --> 01:31:25,800
go through but there were four
more sets of remains that were
1546
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:29,500
found in 2003 Pammy and not
aven't.
1547
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,600
She's fed on August 16th, 2003
15.
1548
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:36,300
When she went missing in 83 the
woman currently known as Jane.
1549
01:31:36,300 --> 01:31:40,500
Doe be 20 found on August 21st,
2003, April butcher.
1550
01:31:40,500 --> 01:31:43,400
Mm found August 30th.
She been missing since August
1551
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:47,400
18th 1983.
Now, the task force does
1552
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,700
something.
Here that is completely off the
1553
01:31:49,708 --> 01:31:53,800
wall.
See when someone's in prison,
1554
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,500
everything they do is being
loved, right?
1555
01:31:56,500 --> 01:31:59,400
Other prisoners are watching
guards, you're watching
1556
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:01,900
information gets leaked people,
talk about things.
1557
01:32:03,300 --> 01:32:07,200
The task force didn't want that.
So what they did was they pretty
1558
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:11,000
much told the governor.
We're going to keep him here at
1559
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,000
the building where the task
force says.
1560
01:32:14,100 --> 01:32:16,800
For you'll be under armed
guards, they literally made a
1561
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:20,200
cell for him.
So at the office, that's the
1562
01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:22,500
Green River, task force, that's
his prison.
1563
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,200
They made their own present for
him, huh?
1564
01:32:26,300 --> 01:32:28,500
They kept him living down the
hall from where they were
1565
01:32:28,500 --> 01:32:32,300
investigating him 24 hours a day
and they would just show up and
1566
01:32:32,300 --> 01:32:36,500
come talk to him and kind of
mess with them like just be
1567
01:32:36,508 --> 01:32:38,100
like, all right time for
interview.
1568
01:32:38,100 --> 01:32:40,400
It's like middle of night.
Oh my God.
1569
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:44,100
When he finally started talking
though, he started talking a
1570
01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:47,900
lot.
He spoke to psychiatrist FBI
1571
01:32:47,900 --> 01:32:51,000
agents homicide detectives.
He was almost like happy about
1572
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,100
the attention.
He went out with the
1573
01:32:53,100 --> 01:32:56,200
investigators and began showing
them where bodies were and
1574
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:59,000
connecting the dots that they
didn't have fully connected.
1575
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:05,300
On September 26th 2003, he even
alerted them to the body of
1576
01:33:05,300 --> 01:33:09,900
Marie Malvern, the one that
started them looking into him
1577
01:33:09,900 --> 01:33:13,900
from the beginning.
When she'd been the one who was
1578
01:33:13,900 --> 01:33:16,500
seeing getting into his crappy,
Crappy.
1579
01:33:16,500 --> 01:33:20,400
Their little truck on April 30th
1983.
1580
01:33:23,500 --> 01:33:25,500
He was like, yeah, yeah, you
were right.
1581
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:28,400
I did kill her.
You know, who, you know, who,
1582
01:33:30,300 --> 01:33:33,700
Well, so interestingly enough
while Ridgeway enjoyed the
1583
01:33:33,700 --> 01:33:37,200
attention, sometimes they'd find
a detail or something on a map
1584
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,100
and they pull them out of bed
and cuff him and take him out in
1585
01:33:39,108 --> 01:33:41,200
like the middle of the night
over the course of the
1586
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:43,100
interviews.
He came clean to all forty eight
1587
01:33:43,100 --> 01:33:45,500
murders, specifically those in
King County because that was the
1588
01:33:45,500 --> 01:33:48,200
deal that they made.
And as I said last week, there
1589
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:52,100
is a theory that he has other
victims in other areas, but
1590
01:33:52,100 --> 01:33:55,600
since he very desperately wants
to stay alive, he's not going to
1591
01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:59,500
say anything, right?
Now, Ridgeway claimed that he
1592
01:33:59,500 --> 01:34:01,400
would kill whenever he got
angry.
1593
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:03,600
These were never premeditated
murders.
1594
01:34:03,900 --> 01:34:07,700
And he blamed those rages on the
women around him like the women
1595
01:34:07,700 --> 01:34:11,100
at his job getting raises or
promotions when he didn't, or
1596
01:34:11,100 --> 01:34:14,200
when he would have to pay child
support for his son, which side
1597
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,600
note, you got to pay child
support every month buddy.
1598
01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:20,200
So once a month you just get mad
and go on a random Killing Spree
1599
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:29,200
quickly. or like he got mad when
he bought the house and he said
1600
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:33,800
that the The sellers were so
cheap that they taking all the
1601
01:34:33,808 --> 01:34:39,500
light bulbs out of the house.
Well, he said, he would get so
1602
01:34:39,500 --> 01:34:41,900
angry that he couldn't sleep and
he had to just go out and
1603
01:34:41,900 --> 01:34:47,500
relieve the pressure.
Yeah, we know this is a lie that
1604
01:34:47,500 --> 01:34:48,400
he told him.
Yeah.
1605
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:51,500
Because he kept telling
investigators over and over all
1606
01:34:51,500 --> 01:34:53,300
I want to do was have sex with
them and kill them.
1607
01:34:53,700 --> 01:34:55,900
He didn't remember any of the
women's faces, but he knew in
1608
01:34:55,900 --> 01:34:59,700
startling detail everywhere that
he had dropped a body, he worked
1609
01:34:59,700 --> 01:35:01,400
through years of memories with
them.
1610
01:35:01,700 --> 01:35:05,000
He talked about keeping toys in
his car, so the victims would be
1611
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,700
disarmed.
He admitted to bring some of
1612
01:35:07,700 --> 01:35:12,300
them back to the house.
Showing them his son's room.
1613
01:35:14,100 --> 01:35:18,200
And actually he and that's what
he says, not premeditated, but
1614
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:22,700
he learned that when you kill
someone, sometimes their bladder
1615
01:35:22,700 --> 01:35:29,000
goes so he would make the women
go to the bathroom before so
1616
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:32,500
that they had an empty bladder.
So that when he murdered them it
1617
01:35:32,500 --> 01:35:37,400
wouldn't make a mess on his bed,
smart, I guess.
1618
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:42,700
He also discovered through trial
and error that if they were
1619
01:35:42,700 --> 01:35:46,200
having sex in doggy style, that
was the best way to kill them.
1620
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:48,500
Oh, so you can talk to her from
behind, right?
1621
01:35:48,500 --> 01:35:51,000
He would say, oh, I heard
somebody, if they were outside
1622
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,600
and the girl would look up and
he would reach over and grab her
1623
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:57,800
behind the neck and choked her
out or if they were near the
1624
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:00,800
airport and airplane went
overhead and the girl looked up,
1625
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:02,200
that would be the moment he
grabbed her.
1626
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:09,200
One of the things I was really
intrigued by is that usually
1627
01:36:09,500 --> 01:36:12,800
Killers like this, have a racial
preference, a physical
1628
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:15,700
preference for their victims and
like well I said he didn't have
1629
01:36:15,700 --> 01:36:18,000
like a thing, he really liked
blondes, you only killed like
1630
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:20,500
five.
He really didn't have any
1631
01:36:20,500 --> 01:36:23,100
preference for his victims
because they had virtually no
1632
01:36:23,100 --> 01:36:25,700
meaning to him.
They were just a means to an
1633
01:36:25,700 --> 01:36:27,300
end.
They were blank voids in his
1634
01:36:27,300 --> 01:36:30,400
memory.
He admitted the choking them was
1635
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:32,300
more rewarding than shooting
them, though.
1636
01:36:32,300 --> 01:36:36,400
He did threaten them with guns,
These are also the interviews
1637
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:40,400
where he references being
cuckolded by his wife and like I
1638
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:45,100
said, I looked far and wide for
any proof that this happened,
1639
01:36:45,300 --> 01:36:49,900
outside of Gary, ridgway's mind
the investigators didn't believe
1640
01:36:49,900 --> 01:36:53,200
it either because he had many
consensual girlfriends while he
1641
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:55,800
was doing this between 1982 and
84.
1642
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:59,100
Yeah, no one was cheating on you
or cuckold and you then buddy.
1643
01:36:59,500 --> 01:37:03,200
No one else.
No partially through these
1644
01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:05,300
interviews.
He starts mentioning The other
1645
01:37:05,300 --> 01:37:08,600
Gary.
And so he starts talking about,
1646
01:37:08,700 --> 01:37:11,900
I know, I'm sorry.
Oh God, come on, just talking
1647
01:37:11,900 --> 01:37:15,500
about the other Gary who's
stronger and angrier and this
1648
01:37:15,500 --> 01:37:18,600
Gary's mad because the police
have complete control over him.
1649
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:23,200
And the old Gary would talk
about murdering and the new Gary
1650
01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:25,900
said he never had any sex with
corpses now.
1651
01:37:25,900 --> 01:37:27,700
They weren't sure if he was
trying to present himself as
1652
01:37:27,700 --> 01:37:30,400
being mentally ill, but
regardless, he was telling them
1653
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,100
the facts and that's all that
mattered to them.
1654
01:37:34,900 --> 01:37:37,000
This is also when he told them
that that jewelry that they had
1655
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:40,300
been looking for his trophies,
he had left those things at the
1656
01:37:40,300 --> 01:37:47,000
airport and also at his job.
So he would leave pieces of
1657
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:51,800
Jewelry in the bathrooms and
then he would get like a little
1658
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:58,100
high whenever he would see.
The women at his job, wearing
1659
01:37:58,100 --> 01:38:02,900
those pieces.
And that kept them out of his
1660
01:38:02,900 --> 01:38:06,500
house.
Come on, come on.
1661
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:09,300
He also admitted that he hated
how much control women out over
1662
01:38:09,300 --> 01:38:11,200
him and he always hated it.
Oh my God.
1663
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:13,000
Shut up.
Oh, the police.
1664
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:15,800
How exhausting it was to have to
wear, gloves, and change his
1665
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:18,900
shoes, or tires all the time.
So that they wouldn't be able to
1666
01:38:18,900 --> 01:38:21,700
find him.
Well, don't do it.
1667
01:38:22,100 --> 01:38:25,100
The real Clincher do was enter
his interviews with dr.
1668
01:38:25,100 --> 01:38:28,500
Mary Ellen.
O'Toole, she got him to talk
1669
01:38:28,500 --> 01:38:32,300
about his childhood.
Now she intrigued him by saying
1670
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,400
she wouldn't talk to him and she
said, listen, the FBI doesn't
1671
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:39,600
care about how many bodies a
person has like, there's plenty
1672
01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:41,300
of crimes, we don't interject
into.
1673
01:38:41,300 --> 01:38:45,300
Hmm, she said I need to go
through a verification process
1674
01:38:45,300 --> 01:38:47,100
with you to see if you're worth
my time.
1675
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:52,600
He's like, okay.
She's like the verification
1676
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:54,500
process.
As you got to tell me about your
1677
01:38:54,500 --> 01:38:59,700
childhood.
So she walked so Gary walked her
1678
01:38:59,700 --> 01:39:02,200
through a lot of the things we
talked about last week, right?
1679
01:39:02,900 --> 01:39:05,300
He told dr.
Atul that he thought his victims
1680
01:39:05,300 --> 01:39:09,900
bodies belonged to him as long
as they weren't discovered and
1681
01:39:09,900 --> 01:39:14,700
he admitted to all sorts of
sexual compulsions do you know
1682
01:39:14,700 --> 01:39:17,100
what fra tourism is?
Because I didn't hear that word
1683
01:39:17,100 --> 01:39:20,000
before.
Broader is broader is MM no I
1684
01:39:20,008 --> 01:39:22,200
have no idea.
Well apparently this started
1685
01:39:22,200 --> 01:39:27,300
when he was young fra tourism is
when you rub your Genitals on.
1686
01:39:27,300 --> 01:39:30,400
Somebody else without their
consent.
1687
01:39:30,500 --> 01:39:34,100
I think I have heard of this new
word for Brittany.
1688
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:39,600
Never heard of that in my life.
He also would expose himself to
1689
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:41,900
people when he was younger.
He stalked women that started
1690
01:39:41,900 --> 01:39:43,800
when he was 12.
Where is MM?
1691
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:48,100
Rape murder for sexual release
and yes he absolutely admitted
1692
01:39:48,100 --> 01:39:51,700
straight up to dr.
O'Toole necrophilia.
1693
01:39:52,500 --> 01:39:55,500
He even discussed how he and
moves skeletons to Oregon so
1694
01:39:55,500 --> 01:39:58,400
that the police wouldn't find
their bodies and wouldn't take
1695
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:01,300
them from him.
All his porch Willie's.
1696
01:40:02,300 --> 01:40:04,300
Take his toys away.
Now dr.
1697
01:40:04,300 --> 01:40:07,500
O'Toole was the one who zeroed
in on a how awful Gary's Ship
1698
01:40:07,500 --> 01:40:11,100
with his mother was and how
those baths that creeped us out,
1699
01:40:11,300 --> 01:40:14,200
had been very stimulating for
Gary and that he would get a
1700
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:18,400
hard-on while she was cleaning
him and he would see his want.
1701
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:20,800
He looked at his mom, like she
was one of the women in like the
1702
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:26,200
nude magazines and that he would
like peek at her and like sneak
1703
01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:29,600
looks at her, if she leaned
down, like he would like look
1704
01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:35,400
through her shirt.
That when she measured him for
1705
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:39,000
close, he would get turned on
and see.
1706
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:42,100
That's why one of the things
that I like struggle with is
1707
01:40:42,100 --> 01:40:46,400
that story that he told her
about how his mom used to tell
1708
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:49,400
them stories about how.
When she would measure men at
1709
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:55,100
the park, our department store,
she could like see their
1710
01:40:55,100 --> 01:40:57,700
hard-ons.
I'm like, is this you
1711
01:40:57,700 --> 01:40:59,700
projecting?
Yes.
1712
01:40:59,700 --> 01:41:03,300
Oh my God.
Make.
1713
01:41:03,300 --> 01:41:06,600
Someone said he insisted though.
He never touched his mother but
1714
01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:09,500
that seeing her nude made him
want to touch other women.
1715
01:41:09,700 --> 01:41:13,400
And that started when he was 10,
he said he never resented his
1716
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:14,800
mother but he did want to stab
her.
1717
01:41:15,700 --> 01:41:18,700
And he started stalking women at
12 years old and that he had
1718
01:41:18,700 --> 01:41:21,700
necrophilia desires long before
he ever actually did it.
1719
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:24,800
Hmm, he pled.
Guilty, officially on November
1720
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:28,700
5th, 2003, and he was given 48
consecutive life sentences on
1721
01:41:28,700 --> 01:41:34,500
December 18th, 2003, They would
find one more victim.
1722
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:38,600
December 21st. 2010, her name
was Rebecca Marrero.
1723
01:41:38,700 --> 01:41:42,500
She was 20 when she went
missing, December 3rd 1992,
1724
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:46,700
Becky at left her son with her
mom and said it like made a joke
1725
01:41:46,700 --> 01:41:48,600
saying she was going away for a
long time.
1726
01:41:50,700 --> 01:41:52,900
Her mom kind of took her
seriously and didn't report her
1727
01:41:52,900 --> 01:41:59,000
missing until 1984 Her skull was
found at the bottom of a
1728
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:02,300
200-foot ravine, which is
interesting.
1729
01:42:02,300 --> 01:42:05,900
Because in his interviews, Gary
talked about wanting to be able
1730
01:42:05,900 --> 01:42:09,400
to find one of those bottomless
Minds that they say are in
1731
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:12,000
Washington.
So perhaps he thought he had
1732
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:15,100
gotten rid of Becky by throwing
her into the ravine.
1733
01:42:16,400 --> 01:42:21,500
They added one more life
sentence to his 48.
1734
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,000
Just after his 62nd birthday.
Oh my God.
1735
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:29,300
And so what else happened to the
other people involved in this
1736
01:42:29,300 --> 01:42:31,900
case?
Well, Dave Reichert went on to
1737
01:42:31,900 --> 01:42:34,900
be the US Representative to
Washington's 8th Congressional
1738
01:42:34,900 --> 01:42:40,400

Africa on a safari in 2004 then
1740
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:48,100
she came back and Began trying
to find the identities of the
1741
01:42:48,100 --> 01:42:51,000
unknown victims.
She along with Detective Denny
1742
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:54,000

the highway intelligence team
1743
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:57,800
hit and that team goes, and
checks on the working girls near
1744
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:00,100
the sea.
Tack strip not to arrest them,
1745
01:43:00,100 --> 01:43:02,300
but to let them know they are
resources and that they're there
1746
01:43:02,300 --> 01:43:05,000
to help, they have been able to
help women.
1747
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:07,900
They've had people call them in
the middle of the night.
1748
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:14,000
They also log these women's
scars and dental records, smart,
1749
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:16,000

01:44:31,100 --> 01:44:34,300
being involved in anything good
smart.
1772
01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:37,600
Like I told you last time, Judy

1773
01:44:38,300 --> 01:44:41,200

And there is the story of Gary
Ridgway.
1781
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:03,000
Look at that.
That was good one, and you
1782
01:45:03,008 --> 01:45:05,600
finished it on our 40th episode.
I did.
1783
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:11,600
That was the goal here.
But now you see why I couldn't
1784
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:15,900
do it in one.
No, no, no, that just cut my
1785
01:45:15,900 --> 01:45:17,900
whole part out, just you just
talked a whole episode.
1786
01:45:17,900 --> 01:45:21,800
Go right ahead for an hour and
45 minutes right now, my God
1787
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:38,900
never mind.
What did you have talked about
1788
01:45:38,900 --> 01:45:40,700
this week?
Oh well, you see.
1789
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:51,700

01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:56,700
Yeah, everybody hope everybody
had their got their festivities
1791
01:45:56,700 --> 01:45:59,600
out of their system.
Like, I mean, whatever you
1792
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:04,200
enjoyed yourselves and then you
celebrated the next day, which
1793
01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:06,000
would be the day of the dead.
If you do, celebrate the Day of
1794
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:08,100
that, someone actually asked me
that in my lab, the other day.
1795
01:46:08,100 --> 01:46:10,100
They were like, do you celebrate
today the dot?
1796
01:46:10,100 --> 01:46:13,200
And I was like, well, I'm not
Mexican so that, Cultural
1797
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:16,100
appropriation, but I appreciate
that.
1798
01:46:16,100 --> 01:46:17,600
You want people to know more
about it.
1799
01:46:17,700 --> 01:46:19,700
This is true.
Yeah, it's a great day.
1800
01:46:19,900 --> 01:46:22,900
I it's really cool.
And I if someone invited me to
1801
01:46:22,900 --> 01:46:24,900
be a part of it, I absolutely
would go.
1802
01:46:24,900 --> 01:46:26,800
Yeah, 100%.
You just can't be doing it by
1803
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:29,200
yourself and no, no.
Can't be the Columbus thing.
1804
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:36,500
People's cultural events.
Just don't do that.
1805
01:46:36,500 --> 01:46:39,300
Hmm, it's like how we do it for
I guess.
1806
01:46:39,500 --> 01:46:42,000
St.patrick's day.
We are a lot of people do that,
1807
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:43,400
you know?
You know what I mean?
1808
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:46,100
American version of st.
Patrick's day isn't even it's
1809
01:46:46,100 --> 01:46:50,500
not, it's not, it's like what we
do for Mayday.
1810
01:46:50,500 --> 01:46:53,000
We're just like what or snow
Cinco de Mayo.
1811
01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:56,700
They're like yeah, this is a
totally celebrating a battle in
1812
01:46:56,700 --> 01:47:01,000
Mexico, drunk time.
We just any at any point
1813
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:02,200
Americans.
Try to drink.
1814
01:47:02,200 --> 01:47:04,300
Anytime we can get drunk be for
fun.
1815
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:10,600
It's super weird.
Yeah, but yeah, like we're like
1816
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:15,000
they have them pretty sure.
I definitely cried watching
1817
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:18,500
KOCO, that's a great one.
And then the definitely cried
1818
01:47:18,500 --> 01:47:20,500
watching The Book of Life to
think.
1819
01:47:20,500 --> 01:47:22,200
I watched that, what's a good
movie?
1820
01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:24,300
It's a great one.
I don't care if they're
1821
01:47:24,900 --> 01:47:27,100
cartoons.
Oh care, I'll watch them light
1822
01:47:27,100 --> 01:47:29,100
automatic cartoons are good.
Yeah.
1823
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:36,100
Anyway, you know, the days over
Halloween is still in our hearts
1824
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:40,000
today.
I bring you a tale brought To Us
1825
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:43,700
by one of our patrons.
Maggie.
1826
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:46,400
Oh, is this what Maggie?
You were talking about the disk
1827
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:48,200
or?
Yeah, I was like if I find some
1828
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:49,700
stuff about I'll definitely
cover.
1829
01:47:49,700 --> 01:47:51,500
So cool.
She's gonna be so high.
1830
01:47:51,500 --> 01:47:55,100
Yeah, and there's like what s
shallow for her right, right?
1831
01:47:55,100 --> 01:47:56,400
Listen.
That's you gotta be what you
1832
01:47:56,407 --> 01:47:59,100
want.
Shoutouts, be it become a
1833
01:47:59,108 --> 01:48:00,900
patron, become a patreon.
Let's talk about.
1834
01:48:00,900 --> 01:48:06,100
You always are anyway.
Yeah, hi Maggie.
1835
01:48:06,300 --> 01:48:08,400
I told you I'd use it, but so
I'm using it today.
1836
01:48:09,700 --> 01:48:11,400
I love getting stories from
people.
1837
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:14,300
By the way, hint hint, Just just
in case.
1838
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:22,800
So this is the story of The
Point Lookout Lighthouse, which
1839
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:27,000
may be haunted.
Well, I'm pretty sure it is
1840
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:28,500
haunted.
Didn't you say something about
1841
01:48:28,500 --> 01:48:30,000
it?
Being the most haunted
1842
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:32,700
lighthouse in America is the
most haunted lighthouse in
1843
01:48:32,700 --> 01:48:34,600
America, which is apparently, a
thing.
1844
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:36,800
I was gonna say I didn't know
that there were like a list of
1845
01:48:36,808 --> 01:48:39,900
yeah lighthouses.
You're never going to get me
1846
01:48:39,900 --> 01:48:42,300
into a lighthouse because I'm
not going up 12.
1847
01:48:42,300 --> 01:48:43,500
Flights of steps.
Look.
1848
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:46,400
I kind of wanted to be like a
Lighthouse Keeper.
1849
01:48:47,100 --> 01:48:48,900
Then you'd be good at going up.
The steps.
1850
01:48:48,900 --> 01:48:50,500
Yeah.
You tried to climb the steps to
1851
01:48:50,500 --> 01:48:52,300
get up here?
You were winded.
1852
01:48:52,300 --> 01:48:57,400
Just look.
Your steps are like steep.
1853
01:48:57,400 --> 01:48:59,700
Okay.
Are, aren't they freaking Steve?
1854
01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:07,000
And I cannot leg day all the
steps in Old buildings are like
1855
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:09,300
that, which is the same way they
are in lighthouses.
1856
01:49:09,300 --> 01:49:12,900
Well, I could probably grow up
doing that, so it's different.
1857
01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:16,300
Alright, I'll be a young lady
housekeeper anyway.
1858
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:22,100
So this Lighthouse is located
inside of the Point.
1859
01:49:22,100 --> 01:49:24,800
Lookout State Park in Scotland,
Maryland.
1860
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:28,800
It was used for, you know,
mostly house things.
1861
01:49:28,800 --> 01:49:31,800
You know, the warned ships of
the, the, the shore and stuff.
1862
01:49:32,700 --> 01:49:34,700
You know, hiding underwater
Lighthouse.
1863
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:43,400
I'm hiding underwater, Utopias,
or Being access to a Utopia in
1864
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:46,600
the sky.
You know, there's always a man,
1865
01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:50,100
there's always a lighthouse D
now that we've got a weird
1866
01:49:50,100 --> 01:49:53,000
comment on her thing on.
What thing.
1867
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:56,100
Someone thinks that Brian
laundry is gay and that's why he
1868
01:49:56,100 --> 01:49:58,100
killed gabbi petite.
Oh my God.
1869
01:49:59,300 --> 01:50:01,800
We're gonna start getting some
of those kinds of emails through
1870
01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:05,400
our website.
No, please don't.
1871
01:50:05,500 --> 01:50:08,300
I don't want to hear that shit.
Back to the lighthouse anyway,
1872
01:50:08,700 --> 01:50:12,000
you lost anyway, when I was
reference to freak, In BioShock
1873
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:15,700
out.
If everybody got that you played
1874
01:50:15,700 --> 01:50:19,100
it before.
Anyway, this Lighthouse looks
1875
01:50:19,100 --> 01:50:21,400
cool.
It's sticking out of a one and a
1876
01:50:21,407 --> 01:50:24,600
half story house.
It's awesome looking.
1877
01:50:24,600 --> 01:50:26,700
It's a I think it's red, right?
Yeah.
1878
01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:34,100
It was constructed in 1839.
I don't really dive deep into
1879
01:50:34,100 --> 01:50:37,400
like I don't like, I don't like
diving deep into the background
1880
01:50:37,500 --> 01:50:42,200
of some things because I think,
you know it Would be born.
1881
01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:44,700
Talk about what's it?
The point.
1882
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:51,000
The other point look out.
Yep, Lighthouse Lighthouse.
1883
01:50:51,700 --> 01:50:54,400
Yeah, but you said looks creepy.
Well, it's cool because it's
1884
01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:57,100
sticking out of the house.
It's so tiny.
1885
01:50:57,100 --> 01:50:59,300
Yeah.
Okay, I will go to that one.
1886
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:04,500
Always huge.
I think of a lighthouse.
1887
01:51:04,500 --> 01:51:06,500
I think of those like impossibly
tall building.
1888
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:10,600
I know she's meaner horrible.
Sorry, I'm sorry.
1889
01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:15,000
No, you're fine.
Anyways, we yeah.
1890
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:17,100
I don't like diving deep because
I think it will be boring.
1891
01:51:17,100 --> 01:51:19,300
And who wants to hear me talking
about boring things?
1892
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:21,400
We were talking about spooky
things, okay?
1893
01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:29,000
But it this like this is story
is a funny story attached to
1894
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:31,600
this one, like the, the history
of, you know, all the keepers
1895
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:37,200
that were that lived there.
So there's this guy his name was
1896
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:40,600
William would okay?
Dude was known for being very
1897
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:44,100
clumsy.
So clumsy that he broke a lot of
1898
01:51:44,108 --> 01:51:50,900
the mirrors and Lighthouse.
And his pay was withheld for a
1899
01:51:50,900 --> 01:51:53,200
year.
Wow.
1900
01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:56,000
A year here.
Imagine not being paid like
1901
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:58,200
you're working, but you're not
getting paid for any of that
1902
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:00,400
because you broke so much stuff.
Yes.
1903
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:08,500
Oh, that's awful.
So there's an incident where he
1904
01:52:08,500 --> 01:52:11,700
allowed a cat to get into the
lantern oil.
1905
01:52:11,700 --> 01:52:17,100
One of the lantern oil barrels
for Lighthouse and that had to
1906
01:52:17,108 --> 01:52:20,400
be replaced, which only added
more to his debt.
1907
01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:27,000
So do was just like, he's just
Very clumsy person.
1908
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:28,500
All right.
Please head.
1909
01:52:28,900 --> 01:52:33,000
That's wild though right here.
Like you owe us.
1910
01:52:33,400 --> 01:52:37,500
Your years pay like Jesus.
I think on the website I was
1911
01:52:37,500 --> 01:52:40,500
reading.
It is said his his salary.
1912
01:52:40,500 --> 01:52:45,800
Like what he actually like, got
paid was like, $325, something
1913
01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:47,200
like that?
Well his hole.
1914
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:52,100
Thing as a keeper of Lighthouse.
But that's what them deducting,
1915
01:52:52,100 --> 01:52:53,500
all the stuff.
Yeah breaking.
1916
01:52:53,500 --> 01:52:59,600
Yeah, this is wild goodness.
So I don't remember I don't know
1917
01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:03,200
if you remember Maggie,
satanists and Discord but during
1918
01:53:03,200 --> 01:53:09,000
the Civil War, there was a lot
of stuff built around this area.
1919
01:53:09,100 --> 01:53:10,800
Well, Maryland area.
Okay.
1920
01:53:12,900 --> 01:53:17,800
Specifically Point Lookout, so
there was a hospital built.
1921
01:53:19,200 --> 01:53:23,000
On the coast, the cape,
whatever.
1922
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:25,500
The point where ever, you want
to call it wherever it is, Point
1923
01:53:25,500 --> 01:53:29,400
Lookout, is that There's a
hospital of Medical Hospital.
1924
01:53:29,400 --> 01:53:32,400
They're built for Union
Soldiers, okay?
1925
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:38,100
In 1960, 1862 the Confederate
soldiers were held at said
1926
01:53:38,100 --> 01:53:43,700
hospital as well.
Then a prison camp was built and
1927
01:53:43,700 --> 01:53:52,400
a house poww soldiers.
This was named Camp Hoffman.
1928
01:53:52,500 --> 01:53:56,100
Okay.
There are also rumors that the
1929
01:53:56,100 --> 01:54:00,100
Keeper at the time kept
prisoners there as well at the
1930
01:54:00,100 --> 01:54:05,500
Lighthouse, okay?
And when I say kept, I mean, I
1931
01:54:05,500 --> 01:54:09,700
think they meant that they eat,
like, either to keep her or the
1932
01:54:09,700 --> 01:54:14,700
assistant Lighthouse.
Keeper were Confederate
1933
01:54:14,700 --> 01:54:18,500
sympathizers, so they, yeah.
Yes.
1934
01:54:18,500 --> 01:54:21,700
He, they would hide the soldiers
in there.
1935
01:54:22,500 --> 01:54:25,800
But what to say, Website.
I read this on is like.
1936
01:54:25,900 --> 01:54:29,300
Well, there are all like, there
are psychics.
1937
01:54:29,300 --> 01:54:33,000
I came in and he said that there
were Confederate prisoners, that
1938
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:35,400
were being held there against
her will.
1939
01:54:35,900 --> 01:54:43,600
So I don't, who knows.
Actually, I found a lot of these
1940
01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:46,600
stories that I'm going to read
to you about the lighthouse, in
1941
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:52,900
the encounters that people have
dealt with our from, you know,
1942
01:54:53,200 --> 01:54:56,600
the people W the the the PO W
soldiers and you know, it's the
1943
01:54:56,600 --> 01:55:00,800
same Civil War soldiers or just
haunting the place.
1944
01:55:04,600 --> 01:55:10,600
So apparently this p.o.w.
Camp it was only designed to
1945
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:13,800
hold 10,000 people.
Write a lot of people.
1946
01:55:13,900 --> 01:55:17,100
Yeah, but guess what, you really
tried the actually fed him fit
1947
01:55:17,100 --> 01:55:23,600
in there around 20,000 people.
So, very quick stuffed inside of
1948
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:26,600
that small living space.
Okay.
1949
01:55:26,900 --> 01:55:35,000
Living conditions were yes.
Less-than-ideal author of The
1950
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:38,400
point that it's a book.
It's a book is called Point.
1951
01:55:38,400 --> 01:55:42,400
Lookout, prison camp for
confederate for Confederates.
1952
01:55:43,100 --> 01:55:48,500
Author is Edwin Warfield of
housings of Burning.
1953
01:55:48,500 --> 01:55:51,200
Sands and freezing, cold and
rotten tents.
1954
01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:56,800
It is a story of senseless
shootings by guards, the story
1955
01:55:56,800 --> 01:56:02,100
of Despair and death of 4,000
prisoners, many of whom could
1956
01:56:02,100 --> 01:56:08,600
have been saved, Indeed,
terrible times three had by a
1957
01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:13,600
lot of people.
Give me a sec.
1958
01:56:15,800 --> 01:56:19,600
Well, that was some that was
some fun background information,
1959
01:56:19,600 --> 01:56:20,000
right?
Yes.
1960
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:22,000
It's a.
Lots of murder and death.
1961
01:56:22,000 --> 01:56:25,600
Yeah.
Just some a lot of bad prison.
1962
01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:30,900
What I stopped.
It's all.
1963
01:56:30,900 --> 01:56:35,400
We're here.
Hey everybody.
1964
01:56:35,700 --> 01:56:40,700
So we had some technical
difficulties this week during
1965
01:56:40,700 --> 01:56:45,600
recording.
So basically, whatever stories I
1966
01:56:45,600 --> 01:56:48,400
was telling at the end, it got
cut off.
1967
01:56:48,900 --> 01:56:54,700
So here I am doing a solo and
I'm just going to, I'm just
1968
01:56:54,700 --> 01:56:57,700
going to like real a two stories
for you about this lighthouse.
1969
01:56:58,500 --> 01:57:03,300
And call it a day.
And hopefully next week, we
1970
01:57:03,300 --> 01:57:05,400
won't have any issues with
audio.
1971
01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:12,800
So the first one first story
comes from Ranger at the
1972
01:57:12,808 --> 01:57:14,600
Lighthouse, at that actually had
to park.
1973
01:57:14,700 --> 01:57:19,700
His name is Kevin hook and this
happened in September of 1999,
1974
01:57:22,300 --> 01:57:25,100
Wonderful evening.
I was sitting in the living room
1975
01:57:25,300 --> 01:57:28,800
and the small white house across
the road from the fishing pier,
1976
01:57:29,600 --> 01:57:33,300
the room face cells, and towards
the road that the soldiers used
1977
01:57:33,300 --> 01:57:38,600
to March into Point Lookout.
My dog Timber was nestled at my
1978
01:57:38,600 --> 01:57:44,000
feet alongside a friend's dog.
As we set the thermometer showed
1979
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:49,400
a stifling 100 degrees my friend
and I were talking quietly.
1980
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:52,100
When the two dogs ran
panic-stricken into the dining
1981
01:57:52,100 --> 01:57:57,600
room, both stood in the door and
bark continuously into the oven
1982
01:57:57,600 --> 01:58:01,500
like room, my friend and I were
completely dumbfounded.
1983
01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:07,000
All of a sudden the room turned
bitter cold even though the
1984
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:10,200
thermometer still read 100
degrees.
1985
01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:12,900
The room was Stone Cold in
seconds.
1986
01:58:13,800 --> 01:58:17,700
We could even see our breath
when we excelled exhaled.
1987
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:23,000
It remained cold for about 30
seconds and then returned to its
1988
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:26,300
owner like condition what
happened?
1989
01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:32,400
Why did the room gets so cold?
Hook still doesn't know.
1990
01:58:32,700 --> 01:58:39,300
So that was a I guess a ghost
had just walked through the room
1991
01:58:39,400 --> 01:58:43,400
and made it all nice and chilly,
even though it was hot outside,
1992
01:58:43,500 --> 01:58:48,200
whatever.
Anyway, Let me go to the second
1993
01:58:48,200 --> 01:58:56,300
story.
I got So this one is from The
1994
01:58:56,300 --> 01:59:02,700
Point Lookout, Lighthouse.com,
and it is titled, and man on my
1995
01:59:02,700 --> 01:59:09,800
house, porch and spirit lights.
It was the winter of 1996.
1996
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:14,300
I was 19 years old, a friend of
mine had just bought a car and
1997
01:59:14,300 --> 01:59:16,400
we had gone for a day trip to
st.
1998
01:59:16,400 --> 01:59:19,300
Mary's County.
Well it was pretty aimless.
1999
01:59:19,900 --> 01:59:23,200
We just kept driving that day
away from Baltimore where we
2000
01:59:23,200 --> 01:59:27,600
lived and we arrived in st.
Mary's County around 4:30 that
2001
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:31,800
afternoon, we drove around and
had dinner at a greasy spoon
2002
01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:36,400
style restaurant.
We noticed signs for paint St.
2003
01:59:37,400 --> 01:59:41,300
A Lookout State Park and we
decided to go check it out
2004
01:59:41,300 --> 01:59:46,000
before heading home.
We drove down the drive through
2005
01:59:46,200 --> 01:59:49,500
the park.
It was around 8:00 p.m., I guess
2006
01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:54,500
it was very cold, so cold.
It was hard to breathe eyes,
2007
01:59:54,500 --> 01:59:59,000
would literally singe into wind,
we drove down to the end of the
2008
01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:02,500
road, where the point and the
lighthouse were located.
2009
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:09,400
Now, I had never heard of the
parks hauntings, so I was not
2010
02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:12,400
looking to see or experience
anything.
2011
02:00:13,500 --> 02:00:16,700
He parked the car and I
suggested we walk over to the
2012
02:00:16,700 --> 02:00:19,100
water and have a closer.
Look at the Lighthouse.
2013
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:23,900
We got out of the car to
experience a steady freezing
2014
02:00:23,900 --> 02:00:29,900
wind that made our souls shiver,
we walked over to look out over
2015
02:00:29,900 --> 02:00:32,700
the bay.
It was a beautiful sight on a
2016
02:00:32,700 --> 02:00:37,500
cold, winter, evening return and
walked over to the fence.
2017
02:00:38,700 --> 02:00:42,800
At the Lighthouse.
We were right at the Gate of the
2018
02:00:42,808 --> 02:00:46,000
fence looking at the Lighthouse.
When we noticed something
2019
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:50,400
peculiar on the steps of the
lighthouse, it appeared to be a
2020
02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:53,900
man in a heavy coat, sitting
there staring at the ground.
2021
02:00:55,000 --> 02:00:59,400
We sort of froze in our tracks
because it's dharwad us quite a
2022
02:00:59,400 --> 02:01:01,800
bit since the lighthouse was
completely dark.
2023
02:01:03,300 --> 02:01:07,200
We stood there for probably 15
seconds when I suggested to my
2024
02:01:07,200 --> 02:01:12,000
friend we leave just as we took
our first step, the man raised
2025
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:15,400
his head and look at us, not
wanting to seem suspicious.
2026
02:01:15,400 --> 02:01:20,800
I said, good evening to the man,
the man, suddenly Rose to his
2027
02:01:20,800 --> 02:01:25,300
feet and turn to the door, my
friend and I watched as the man
2028
02:01:25,300 --> 02:01:28,800
walked, right through the door
and disappeared into the porch.
2029
02:01:29,800 --> 02:01:32,700
We stopped and looked for a
minute to see if he was inside
2030
02:01:32,700 --> 02:01:35,600
the porch.
But he wasn't, I suddenly
2031
02:01:35,600 --> 02:01:39,000
realized that he had just passed
through the screen door and
2032
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:43,100
vanished on the other side.
My friend was about as shocked
2033
02:01:43,100 --> 02:01:46,500
as I was we sat there for a
couple minutes to no avail.
2034
02:01:47,400 --> 02:01:51,800
We decided he had seen, we have
seen a ghost as we walked back
2035
02:01:51,800 --> 02:01:54,200
to the car.
We sat there, we sat in the
2036
02:01:54,200 --> 02:01:57,500
heat, trying to give reason to
what seemed to be an impossible
2037
02:01:57,500 --> 02:02:00,100
experience.
Then the next weird thing
2038
02:02:00,100 --> 02:02:03,200
happened.
As we were talking my friend
2039
02:02:03,200 --> 02:02:06,500
suddenly yelled.
Look I looked up and saw
2040
02:02:06,500 --> 02:02:08,900
something that sent shivers up
my spine.
2041
02:02:09,500 --> 02:02:12,600
Something that looked like a
ball of light was going inside
2042
02:02:12,600 --> 02:02:15,900
the house and was Illuminating
the porch we watched in
2043
02:02:15,900 --> 02:02:20,100
amazement as the light flickered
and then ceased the whole light
2044
02:02:20,100 --> 02:02:23,300
show lasted for about 10
seconds, we couldn't believe it.
2045
02:02:23,900 --> 02:02:28,300
You must have stayed for another
hour but nothing happened at
2046
02:02:28,300 --> 02:02:29,200
the.
So I left.
2047
02:02:30,300 --> 02:02:33,100
The next day, we went to the
library and looked up books on
2048
02:02:33,100 --> 02:02:37,100
The Point Lookout, Lighthouse.
We were surprised to see so
2049
02:02:37,100 --> 02:02:39,900
many.
I read everything I could on the
2050
02:02:39,900 --> 02:02:43,100
hauntings and was Spellbound
that Monday.
2051
02:02:43,200 --> 02:02:47,000
We called the park and asked
them if anyone was living in the
2052
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:51,000
lighthouse and until is no.
We told him what happened and
2053
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:54,300
they explain the haunting at the
Lighthouse it was really
2054
02:02:54,300 --> 02:02:59,700
something else.
So yeah, that's another story.
2055
02:02:59,900 --> 02:03:03,500
Not even like these are all true
cows that people have reported
2056
02:03:03,600 --> 02:03:07,600
about the lighthouse.
Not even like stories that could
2057
02:03:07,600 --> 02:03:09,000
be pasta.
People who made up.
2058
02:03:09,300 --> 02:03:13,300
Well, those are two.
I'm ready for you guys, because
2059
02:03:13,400 --> 02:03:18,500

don't want to Keep them waiting
2060
02:03:18,500 --> 02:03:21,500
