    One thing I remember from one of Ridgeways interviews was this, they ask him " when you were growing up, did you feel like you didn't have, something the other children Did? " he replied "Oh you mean that caring thing". mind blowing response.

    Thank you so much to all three of you for this rather chilling discussion about Ridgway. The things that stay with me from it are firstly the abhorrent behaviour of both of his parents. I can't think of any time or mindset where two parents would consider it appropriate to expose their child to what this young boy endured. It had to have warped his mind without a doubt. With or without technology, the incompetence of the police was shocking and directly responsible for many deaths that could have been avoided if someone did their job properly - no excuses or eating of doughnuts! Lastly, it is unfortunate that he didn't meet his third wife a lot earlier on as perhaps a lot more or even all of this could have been avoided. I just love listening to you guys and your take on things and the much needed bit of humour in these awful stories. Thanks again 💕💕💕

    I can understand Gary: his relationship with his mom resonates with me because I feel like that was my relationship with my dad; and, when Dr. Grande went on to say that it affected how Gary formed relationships with Women... I feel like that’s me with Men. I have a knack for wanting Men’s attention, especially if they’re unavailable in any way, shape, or form. My dad’s still in my life; and, it’s a continual, poignant reminder of our relationship.

    I am glad I finally made it to this one. I am still catching up. Ridgeway is honestly the serial killer I find most interesting to be honest. I am not sure what that says about me... I would love to see a breakdown of the IQ tests though also. I don't think many people could commit that many murders and leave no evidence (even by technology limitations in the 80's) in your home. You are also correct, he is alive and in Walla Walla prison :).

    Herman Mudgett was definitely an interesting figure in history of crime. He would be neat to discuss. Between 10 and 34 victims that there is evidence he was likely involved in killing. Estimates from missing persons reports and his own confessions place an estimate of all victims at around 200, but those cannot be confirmed.

    Excellent discussion. Ridgeway was very messed up, he claimed that women in this profession are garbage but yet he's actively participating with them himself, even loving one of them. Talk about having moral double standards. He deserved the death penalty. Great insight in your videos and it does help us by keeping us alert that's there is such thing as monsters.

    I'm excited about this podcast series. I have one point of feedback: the man in the center (I don't know his name) has quite a few moments where he interrupts and talks over other speakers. Of course podcasts are conversational, but this habit is hard to listen to as an audience. If you have a comment, it's best to allow the other person to speak/finish speaking before adding your thoughts. This is also important for people like me, I'm here because I'm interested in hearing Dr Grande offer more in-depth elucidations on the psychology of the case, and it takes a little time to 'get to know' other speakers. I hope that can be helpful, looking forward to more.

    On another note- Dr. Grande, you covered this case very well in your book. I have watched all your true crime videos but there is something about reading it in a book. Some of cases I had forgotten or didn’t remember the details, but the book made it very memorable. I guess it’s the same experience with watching a movie vs reading the book, somehow the book provides a more “intense” experience. Either way, I have been meaning to provide this feedback about your book, that even though I watched the videos, reading about them was a whole new experience.

    That’s quite naive to think that any serial killer would have any remorse for their actions.

    Great discussion, but you forgot one important thing, and it's not just limited to Ridgway. If police had cared about prostitutes, runaways, the homless and other marginalized groups like gays and viewed them as humans and not just scum, serialkillers would have had a much harder time. Imagine if they spent some of that 15 million on bulding housing and programs to give these groups help. Police wasn't just incompetent and ineffective, they dehumanized the groups of people that was (and is) the potential victims of Ridway and other serial killers.

I reckon he would have retired but he would likely have been so annoyed about no one catching up with him. He may have just out right retired and stopped his killing altogether. Makes him ever more incredible snd interesting, I’d love to meet him and ask some questions.
