Compact Murder

Gary Ridgway - The Green River Killer


Listen Later

Between the 1980s and early 2000s, a quiet truck painter from Washington State carried out one of the deadliest serial killing sprees in American history. In this episode, we unpack the chilling story of Gary Ridgway, known as the Green River Killer. We explore how he evaded police for decades, why his victims were overlooked, and how advances in forensic science finally exposed the man behind at least 49 murders. It is a disturbing look at institutional failure, misogyny, and the terrifying ordinariness of evil.
