Episode 46: Gary Ridgway.
In the annals of American serial killers, few figures stand as disturbing and enigmatic as Gary Ridgway, a Washington state truck painter who terrorized women in the 1980s and 1990s. Dubbed the "Green River Killer" after the first five victims were found in the Green River, Ridgway's murderous rampage involved the murder of at least 49 women, though he confessed to over 75. His crimes, motivated by a deep-seated hatred of women and a desire for power and control, left a trail of devastation and shattered lives in their wake.
