Links to info on the sick ---- who killed all those women.Thought it might be of some interest.
It's amazing when you actually get to see these monsters after they've been caught,how small disgusting & pathetic they really are.

From 2nd newslink- Other serial killers have bragged of murdering many dozens of victims, but Ridgway's plea agreement, signed June 13, puts more murders on his record than any other serial killer in American history.
Same article- Ridgway contacted the King County sheriff's Green River task force - ostensibly to offer information - and passed a polygraph test.

I saw a program on the Green River murders. Very gross and interesting. I believe most of his victims were prostitutes (the sex kind not the political or business kind).
This guy is a severly sick individual (goes without saying).
Another person who was mentally, physically and if I remember correctly sexually abused as a child. Another child who didn't receive love or nurturing in his developing years. Unable to form healthy relationships due to the abuse and neglect.
It's no excuse for any crime though.

I am an avid CourtTV fan, I watch trials everday, instead of soap operas... Court TV's website is excellent to review trials and verdicts if you're interested in that kind of thing. Court TV[/URL] The Green River Killer (Gary Leon Ridgway) murdered runaways and prostitutes in the 1980's and was a suspect in the killings since 1984. One of his victim's boyfriends reported that he last saw her getting into a pickup truck identified as Ridgway's. Ridgway told police he didn't know her, and a police investigator in Des Moines, who knew him cleared him as a suspect. Later that year, Ridgway contacted the Green River task force to offer information about the case and passed a polygraph test. He continued to be a suspect and 13 yrs after a saliva test was taken from his home, DNA evidence caught up with him. He was arrested Nov 30, 2001.
The killings continued long after detectives thought the Green River Killer had stopped. The last victim on the official list disappeared in 1984, but one of the cases Ridgway is expected to plead to involves a woman killed in 1990, and another involves a woman killed in 1998.
Ridgeway has worked out a plea bargain which will spare his life. Ridgway's pleas to 48 counts would give him more convictions than any other serial killer in the nation's history. However, a couple of the killings were in Oregon, who has capital punishment. Personally, I'd rather him get a death penalty than plea bargain for remains... What's done is done, and finding remains is not going to change that. But, I do understand that relatives of the victims who have been missing would want closure and the chance to lay their loved ones to rest.
