We’ve made it to the final installment of our Green River Killer series, guys! In this episode, we discuss the 1987 investigation into Gary Ridgway, how another man became a suspect in the case in 1989, and Gary’s eventual capture and plea deal. We also discuss the stories of the remaining six victims, including one whose family requested a member of the Green River Task Force to be a pallbearer at her funeral and the final victim to be found. We’re immensely grateful to have been able to tell the stories of the 49 victims and for everyone who has followed along this journey with us!
**PLEASE NOTE: In this episode, we discuss a victim who remains unidentified to this day, Jane Doe B20. Unfortunately, there is no forensic artist rendering of her as there was no skull found with her remains. DNA testing showed this victim was female, but the profile does not match anyone on the missing Green River victim list. Investigators believe that the victim was 13 to 24 years old, Caucasian or of mixed race, had a thin or medium build and had shoulder-length light brown hair. Investigators also believe that this victim may not have been a sex worker. If anyone listening knows a woman fitting this description, who either disappeared or was killed in the 1970s or early 1980s, you can call the King County Sheriff’s Office at 206-296-3311, or you can send an email to MCUTips@KingCounty.gov .
