Wow. I am really shocked reading about this wanker.
Especially when you consider they could have caught him so much earlier.
There was 1 witness when he took off with Marie, a girl who was prosituting herself,her parents not knowing, with the help of her boyfriend. He saw her going in a car, and thought she looked scared when she was in the car so he followed them. The driver ( who later turned out to be Gary Ridgeway)managed to shook him off.
Not much later the boyfriend and Marie's family did a search and they found the car parked in a driveway of a house. The police asked the owner of the house if there was a girl there, he said no, of course, and that was the end of it. I wished they could have done more, I say could, cause I understand they can't just go in the house, but on the other side,it was during all the murders, so to bad it didn't ring a bell.


While reading this book I was also reading The search of the Green River Killer by Carlton Smith and The Riverman by Robert D. Keppler, one of the detectives on the case.

This gave me a good insight in what happened during all those decades.
Thanks for sharing!
