You left out a very important part of his childhood: His father both despised, and used, prostitutes. He would drive around with Gary as a child and rant and rave about how horrible, filthy and evil prostitutes are, then would leave him in the car while he would go and do business with them. I think this definitely had an effect on his choice of victims, aside from the fact that they are the "safest" from the killer's standpoint.

He is objectively right about prostitution. It is dehumanizing as pretty much all overly-sexualized culture is, but he is largely to blame, and people like him. It is the business he provides (as a deprived and mentally pathetic person,) which perpetuates the problem. Prostitution is an easy gateway to money (also for those who may need that money,) so if business is booming there, why would prostitutes spend time and effort finding a more legitimate and sustainable source of income? Stop feeding the beast and it will die instead of growing into a bigger threat.

The majority of these women began prostitution when they were minors and most of them were brought in against their will coerced giving drugs beaten and broken literally that's what they do to these young women, there is a system for pimps breaking young women and they find them young a lot of the time out of foster care runaways, they offer them nice things and treat them decently for a while sometimes get them hooked on drugs sometimes they get them in line with beatings but the vast majority of these women aren't just low income women who chose this racket.....

They were trying to frame her for a crime cause she would not cooperate. I believed her. She appeared at my door at night w two teenage children. I was in great fear for her. I believed her. She said victims were all posed on edge of river holding bouquet of weed flowers. Cops had the opportunity to pick up these girls w/o suspicion.

Well if you are raised in a very abusive home and don't know much else growing up, then the acceptance of abusive behaviour can become highly normalized in your life. Also some people may be willing to put up with abuse for the benefits of a relationship for various reasons; maybe they suffer from a mental health disorder where being in a relationship with that person helps stabilize them and puts them in a better mental state than they would be on their own, maybe they gain financial aid from their abuser and the alternative is homelessness or worse, etc... Often times the abuser may not show signs of abuse in a relationship until they have made their victim dependent on them and the victim doesn't realize that they have been groomed and manipulated by their abuser until it is too late. Some monsters are able to hide all of their abusive and violent behaviour from their families to the point that the family refuses to believe that that person could ever do such things. Others may experience such a deep self-loathing and hatred that they feel deserving of the abuse they experience in life - this mental state as well is often a product of manipulation and psychological abuse at the hands of their abuser. There are so many reasons why someone may end up with a monster.

I never realized how much he did to evade capture, very interesting. He always looked especially dead-eyed to me.

Ridgeway lived about 40 minutes away. I can remember being terrified, seeing newspaper headlines. When he was most prolific, it seemed we saw poor girls' faces under the next day's headlines reading, another dead girl! It was really the talk about town. The taxi driver you mention was an odd bird (in the beginning imo, he wanted you to believe he was the guilty party)! He spoke really odd, paused when speaking for so long, it got uncomfortable. He'd be very vague and suspicious acting. Then after the cops turned up the heat, he changed directions pretty quick because it seemed one day he was Killer Mr. X. After speaking with the police he became normal and very helpful, including some interviews, where he got his 15 minutes of fame. I just read, 'about 50% of the world's serial killers seem to come from a 200 mile radius around Seattle (Bundy, Ridgeway, Dodd, Yates, Alcala and that pig farmer, Pickton). I wonder why Seattle draws these awful creatures to the beautiful NW? Interesting analysis Doctor! So glad to see your healthy face! You and yours stay well! 😷💞👏🌟🌷

Thank you Dr G for mentioning the pseudo-scientific nature of polygraphs. Here's a direct quote from a polygraph tester: "There's actually only two ways you can fail a polygraph: the first is if you failed to follow my instructions [...], the second way is if you choose to lie to me today". Oh right, so the machine's infallible? That means that upon failing the polygraph, that would be a conviction. Now we can move straight to sentencing. If a "polygrapher" said the same "only two ways"-stuff to me I would point out to the him/her that if their statement were true, then a good proportion of the existing criminal justice system would be totally unnecessary, time- and money-wasting, and therefore in need of immediate abolition. Funny to think that a lie detecting person would start off the whole proceedings with a lie of their own.

Right or wrong, agree or disagree with his reasons, and despite his obviously disgusting methods, it's incredibly interesting and tragic on many levels from the squandered potential of the perp to the victims and survivors of his tactics. I've read quite a bit of his work and he's obviously a really bright dude, even if he seems to have a "baby/bathwater" problem with his analysis. It's wild that he went the way that he did. Sad story all around.

Hearing stuff like this, and his callous disregard for his victims, just makes me want to cry. How can "humans" be so cold? I'll never truly understand, even if I do from a very detached vantage point.

Your point about his IQ was very interesting. Years back I worked at the Mentally Retarded Defendant Program (currently the Developmentally Disabled Defendant Program) in Florida. Many of the defendants had social skills and some criminal intelligence that appeared to be well beyond their histories of academic achievement and intelligence testing. Although he was never convicted due to being Incompetent to Proceed, Eddie Lee Mosley eluded Broward County detectives for 15 years. There might not be enough information on him, but I would love you to consider doing an analysis on him. I really enjoy your careful thoughtful videos. I get so tired of all the hype on KZread.

What do psychopaths look like?

I was born in the 60's and I remember this case well as it developed and changed over the years. I was in high school when it first started being talked about in the papers. I had a severe hatred for my mother through my high school years because of my EXTREMELY abusive and violent step-dad and I remember being so scared that I would end up having tendencies like Ridgway did in regard to negative thoughts about my mother because of the relationship I had with my mother and her continuing to let my monster of a step-dad back into the house. This lasted into my mid 20's and I ran away from home frequently when still living at home so I moved out permanently when I had just turned 17, but as time passed I ended up having quite a normal marriage and three children whom I worship the ground my kids walk on. So the fears I had never came to fruition and I thank God for that. I used to pray so fervently with tears in my eyes that I would never end up like Ridgway. I definitely didn't. I have four grandchildren now and I LOVE it! Those grandkids and my grown kids (My oldest is 31) give me such joy and it was so good to leave behind the 9 years of SEVERE abuse and neglect that I encountered as a child. My mother continued to let my step-dad back into the house even after his worst beatings of my mother and my two sisters and I. Seeing my step-dad beat my mother so severely and at times seeming to kill her made me have horrible fear that he would kill her and I would be left with him to raise me. That still has an effect on me even with me now being 53 years old. My step-dad left a life-long terror in me that I have learned to face and control. So most people don't understand how having such a terrible childhood can leave certain people feeling like they are going to grow up to be violent or a serial killer if a known serial killer had much the same childhood as they did. My step-dad died when I was 20 years old and I hadn't seen him since I was 13 years old, but I continued to "carry" him around with me and still have remnants of the trauma he caused in my mind. Seeing my mother beaten with the pronged end of a dryer cord until her back was severely punctured and deeply lacerated made me almost catatonic for days. I didn't talk for two years after that night. My step-dad did more things to her that night that I don't talk about online. My step-dad was a monster and I literally went and urinated on his grave after he died. It wasn't as satisfying as people like to fantasize about when they say they are going to do such things to certain people's grave after that person's death. I prayed all my life to keep bitterness out of my heart because I just didn't want to go down that slippery slope. So first hearing about the things later in life about Ridgway made me so very thankful that I never even thought of being violent or murderous toward women at all. I believe that it actually pushed me the other way toward being a person to champion causes for battered women. After seeing my mother and sisters beaten in unnatural ways so bad, especially my mother, it made me repelled so bad. I was a kid in school that protected girls fiercely. I was a runt of a kid, but I still stood up to the bullies that treated girls so bad. I took the beating for the girl and didn't mind that beating at all. It's not that I am bragging, I am just making a point. This point being that when I got a beating for getting between a boy and girl while he was shoving around or touching that girl in a very inappropriate way and I got a beating for it, I realized how much better I felt about that beating than the beatings I got from my step-dad and the beatings he gave my mother and sisters. That simple realization made me know that I would continue to live my life that way. There's a lot more to this story of my VERY violent step-dad, but I'll save that for maybe another time. My main point is that the things I saw in regard to the SEVERE beatings that my step-dad perpetrated on me, my mother, and my sisters made me terrified that I would end up like the serial killers that I saw in the news and read novels about in the library. I read 6 grade levels above my age because I learned advanced phonics and comprehension starting at age 3. I have no idea why my mother did this with me, but I have always had extremely high reading comprehension skills and soelling/punctuation/grammar skills. So I read in my very early childhood all about serial killers and just what kind of childhood each of them had and it unnerved me in regard to my own childhood. But I've made it through life pretty well and never had tendencies toward violence of any kind, especially murdering women and having attraction toward my mother. That just repels me in a VERY BIG way, thank God. I wish I could save them all from violence and murder. As always, I very much enjoyed your analysis and in-depth commentary. I have been kind of binge watching many of your videos I admire you greatly. I like how soft-spoken and articulate you are. You are very easy to listen to and I never find my mind wandering. I immensely appreciate the amount of time and effort you obviously spend in compiling and organizing the information you present in your videos. I can definitely surmise that you spend much time in every aspect of the preparation of the information and in editing the video itself. You make it very clear that you don't use just one source that you glean the presented information from. The things you say indicate multiple sources of information that you have accessed in order to get the most accurate and complete information possible. This makes the presentation so interesting because it helps we viewers know how convoluted, patchy, incomplete, biased, or just downright tabloidesque some sources are and always will be. You do all of the hard work so that we viewers don't have to and that makes it a pleasure to have such analysis presented that is an awesome result of the fruits of your intensive labor. So I am very much appreciative of your hard work and the analyses you bring to us. I'll be back for more and more. Okay, now I'm going to suggest an analysis of someone that you are probably going to laugh and think I'm totally nuts for suggesting analysis of this person, but just me asking is worth a shot to see if you'll do it. So here goes: I want to hear your analysis of Jesus Christ. Yes, your eyes are not failing you. Jesus Christ. I have no idea how you feel about this man, but I know you are very capable of unbiased analysis based on the accounts of His life as told in the New Testament portion of the Bible. I very much want to hear just what you think of Him and His life, mind, and the mentality you believe He had as His travels and encounters took Him to many places. Now, of course, I have no idea just what your beliefs are, but I want your analysis to be purely as an observer in the secular sense. If you are a Christian I want you to give your beliefs a place in your analysis and conclusions about Him. I'm requesting this analysis because I've done this before with my Psychiatrist and Psychologist and others that are mental health professionals. After the first time I did this, I found it to be even more interesting and intriguing than I had first anticipated. So every mental health professional I come into contact with, I suggest that they do this. Every one of them have said they were very glad that I had suggested it because it opened their eyes to things about how they view their own belief system (5 of these professionals are Christian, 3 are agnostic, 4 are atheist, and one is Mormon) and the world around them and as a whole. It was VERY interesting to read just what they all wrote. It made me learn a tremendous amount about my own beliefs, me as a person among other people, and so much about my own mortality. So you're definitely not the first mental health professional that I've suggested this to. I'm not doing this to influence you in any way, shape, or form. It is purely an intellectual exercise. If you do decide to take up my suggestion, I hope you'll decide to make a video about it. But if you don't, I totally understand. You have a certain YT following and I don't ever want you to do anything that could possibly be so polarizing. If you aren't a man of faith in Him then that isn't something I'm going to use against you or for you. That's your business and no one else has the right to tell you what you should or shouldn't believe. It's just that simple. I am a man of faith in Jesus Christ myself and have been for MANY years. I see belief in God much differently than most people of faith. I don't blab it everywhere. The Bible itself says we are to keep our mouths shut and just live a life of humility and treat others as we would like ourselves treated. Even praying isn't said to be a time of blabbing and a bunch of fancy, articulate words like a speech. (Yeah, look at this gigantic post. LOL) But, anyway, I very much like hearing different individuals' views in regard to Jesus Christ. I never see myself as particularly intelligent and I like to hear the analysis of JC as given by people whom I see as highly intelligent. I'm a Civil Engineer and I don't think that that makes me smart. It's just something that I find incredibly interesting. Okay, I'll finally stop yammering on and on now. I hope you take up my suggestion. I promise you that if you decide not to or you do decide to and tell me you don't want to make it into a full-fledged video, I will totally understand and I will NEVER tell anyone else that you did so. That's your prerogative and business, not mine. But I do hope you do. Thank you for taking the time to read this novelette I've written here and for considering my words and ideas. It is much appreciated. Take care and God bless.

I never heard of this case till I moved to Washington and went to the hardware store one night. The cashier made a robotic comment about a membership number and my response broke him out of his stupor. He made a comment about why he does costumer service now and proceeded to tell me how he used to work at a trucking company in Renton and was there the night his co-worker, the Greenway Killer was arrested. Thanks for the video Dr.Grande

I fantasize about doing treatment planning with you 😆 you are so good at teasing out an informal dx. I really appreciate how you start with the bigger, broader picture; the holistic context. Then you break it down analytically bit by bit, with sx criterion checklists, and aside from your absolutely genius sense of humor, you remain unbiased, factual, and use only the subjective and objective evidence available. Dr. Grande, you set the bar very high!

Successful serial killers have quite a strong compensatory counterface. So Bundy was charismatic, articulate, intelligence, appealing to women, learned (law student; note, not graduate), altruistic (volunteered on a suicide hotline for several weeks); Jeffrey Dahmer was affable, easygoing, friendly, relaxed, appeared normal to many, showed deep remorse (wanted to be in jail for life), religious (baptised in jail), regretted the actual killing as he just wanted company. On a crasser level, Gacy was a party clown and Ridgway appeared doltish if not almost troglydytic, appeared to experience no joy or pleasure from the murders, seems to not know what's happening to him, is appreciative of jail conditions etc. This counterface is so well developed I think it exists as a counterpoint to the murderer, the sadist. Both do not fully encapsulate the person - they are like opposite or polar ends on a spectrum of personality. They have a personality that is split into two halves, each at opposite ends of the scale. And this probably gives them the justification to keep going, like a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the better half justifies the actions of the bad person. The better the good guy, the more licence the bad guy has to unleash.

Probably your best video to date extremely thoughtful and precise filled with information about a deadly killer

I always enjoy your analysis of cases. Thank you

I had a friend of a friend who claimed to work with him at the trucking company. He said that Ridgway would talk about prostitutes as rats.

They are referred to as lizards here on many channels on KZread that show picking them up. I can only assume that these people are happy to bang them anyway.

Right, give a psychopath a polygraph with their low neurocity.

I've seen a interview with one of his workmates and he said that Gary ridgeway was absolute perfectionist at his job and was by far the best at his job at the place they worked at! Which firs perfectly with your analysis

I remember this murder spree, it was theorized that the perp might have been a police officer, I used to read True Detective magazines since I was a young child, always been fascinated with Serial Killers, still am to this day,the Dark Side fascinates me, always has, good work! Great videos!! Keep it up man!!

I often have to watch these in segments, because they're so gruesome.

I’d be interested to know if Dr. Grande thinks being a serial killer is a form of insanity. I get confused as to how a “sane” person could do these things.

"Insanity" is a legal term, not a diagnosis in psychology. Being legally insane only means that you did not know between right and wrong at the time of commiting the crime. It's very rare for a murderer to be declared insane. Especially serial killers as anyone who is able to avoid detection long enough to kill more than one person is aware that what they are doing is wrong... Otherwise they wouldn't attempt to hide their crime or their identity etc. It takes a level of planning and deception that wouldn't be accomplished if you didn't know that what you were doing needed to be hidden.

Just checking in to see if anybody noticed ridgeway and dr grande have a superficial visual similarity. No? Anybody? Edit: top notch work as usual, dr G.

Omg...yes!! Sorry Dr. G.

This was the best analysis I've heard of the Green River killer and I learned some things I had not heard before. Very interesting.

I always find your analysis informative and insightful. Your expertise and credentials are everything. I really appreciate your channel and the content you put out. I look forward to seeing the notifications for your videos. I only want to watch content creators of people with credibility n that you have. I don’t agree with everything you say but it’s not often. You have a high quality channel. Anyway, Thank you, Dr. Grande.

Thank you so very much, Dr. Grande! This serial killer seems to be a bit *different* than what we usually see with such a high death rate. I'm glad to hear that asking a killer if they're a killer doesn't really work. I had assumed this, but we all need facts! Your effort and dedication to this channel is very appreciated. And, as I have before, I must say that you present each video with a sense of seriousness and without judgement. I respect this so very much. I hope you and your loved ones are safe, healthy, and/or at peace.

This analysis was very insightful and thorough. Excellent job Dr. Grande! And congratulations on 250K subs!!!❤️🎉👏🏼 I am very happy for you, and so impressed to see that in less than 2 months you have 50k more subscribers!!! That’s due to your commitment to excellence and hard work! Wish you the very best and a lot of success, you deserve it:)

Wow, Dr Gs presentation style has changed quite a bit over 2 years. Well done!

I have listened to this one a lot. He is interesting to me. Thanks for an interesting analysis, interesting enough for me to watch over and over. Thanks, Grande.

Dr Grande is iconic. He needs a nickname for his fans.

Dr. Grande. Hmm. The Big Doctor, maybe? I believe the Spanish word grande means big, and that's what I think whenever I hear him say his name. By the way, isn't he a psychologist? Not a psychiatrist? Doesn't this suggest he isn't a doctor...?

"Catching a Serial Killer: SAM LITTLE is coming to Oxygen (on SUNDAY, APRIL 12 at 7 p.m.) as part of its 12 Dark Days of Serial Killers event". TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!! PROFESSOR!!!! I hope you're going to be covering Sam Little soon 🤩🤩🤩 This was GREAT. 👍👍👍 I had heard him typed as an INFJ, which I don't see at all. I def see him as an ISTJ-A. Meticulous, organized, well-planned, likes a sensory experience (strangulation). We INFJs are similar to ISTJs, but they are mousey and calm, while we have a higher level of nervous energy.

Once again - Dr Grande delivers greatness!!!

Dr Grande, very interesting program. You can present the cases well.

This is the most disturbing case you've covered. I was left scared after watching this. Anyway happy Easter and thanks for all you do.

I find the fact that Ridgeway's last marriage made it for 14 years to be quite interesting. I saw his wife being interviewed a number of times and I think that she was truly in love with him throughout their marriage. I don't think she had a clue about what he had been doing. She struck me as simple and old fashioned, although far from stupid. She was obviously devastated when she found out.

Yet again, thank you so much for helping me to understand what is nearly impossible to understand.

I see you are well on your way to 1 million subscribers. Exciting!

"So an important note here, asking somebody if they are a killer is not a successful strategy for staying alive." lmao

Dr G! Thanks for continuing your videos! 🤗

I enjoyed your analysis of this prolific killer. It took such a long time to catch him. Thank you Dr. Grande.

What’s even more crazy is it wouldn’t have taken as long if the task force would have listened to Ted Bundy’s advice. He told detectives that the killer was most likely revisiting the bodies to have sex with them and if they found one to stake it out in order to catch him.

I love your channel & the crime analysis you do is amazing

Yes! I wanted this one. I love that someone asked for it!

It’s astonishing that Ridgeway went undetected for so long, unbelievable case!! Thank you for all of the time and research you put into your videos, Dr Grande.

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers handsome! 💕👏

This was excellent Dr Grande..shines much more light on what I read in Ann Rule's book!

Please continue to do more crime offender analysis and documentary critics! I am a Criminology student and I absolutely love your in-depth take on these case studies.

It's amazing to me that he got away doing these hideous acts for so long. He never seemed like he had more than MAYBE an average IQ, yet like this Dr. implied, he was very careful with every detail as to leave no evidence. Just fascinating really. Thank you for your interesting and informative views.

One thing I don't think the doctor touched on - he was painting trucks, in that era the paint they were using was pretty toxic stuff. A lot of those guys were nuts. If Ridgway wasn't wearing a mask like EVERY day, that could've affected his IQ and parts of his personality. There's a famous article called "the criminal element" about lead. Crime was higher, children more likely to have learning difficulties, all kinds of social problems can be linked to lead in fuel, paint, and pipes. When people are exposed to certain chemicals, as Ridgway was at work with his toxic truck paint and possibly in Vietnam - it can change their personalities and chemistry. It can make them more prone to impulsivity and violence.

For some reason I always enjoy listening to his disclaimer at the beginning of each episode.

Dr. Todd Grande RULES. Great video, yet again!
