Hey guys! Welcome back for Part II of the madness that is Gary Ridgway! In this episode, we discuss the formation of The Green River Task Force and some of Gary’s tactics that he used to trick his victims. We also discuss the stories of eight victims, including one who’s disappearance initially led police to Gary’s doorstep, and one who went unidentified for nearly 4 decades. Buckle up, because there are a lot of twists and turns in this case!
