People say killers have no value for human life. I don't think that's true. If they didn't think life has value, they'd not go around taking it--you don't, for example, go around picking up and collecting things you don't think are valuable either. Rather, they enjoy the power that comes from taking lives. That's why they don't have a problem trying to get out of the death penalty, because it's another way for them to exert power or prevent someone else from having the same one they had had over so many others.

I didn't realize until just now that my dad worked at the same plant as Ridgway in the early '80s, when the murders were taking place. It's crazy. I grew up hearing about these murders, but by the time he was caught and tried, I was an adult and had moved away from the area, so I didn't pay much attention.

There must have been 40 State Trooper, motorcycle Cops, unmarked detective vehicles etc. all lined along the road. The forensic paleontologists had their canopy tents up and sifting swings and the cadaver dogs working this small area about the size of a largish back yard. The grass is always 3 feet tall there. Turned out it was one of Ridgeway's victims lying 25 feet off the side of the road in that tall grass forever. I must have drove past that spot two or three times a day for a year never knowing, hiding right there 25 feet away in plain sight. Man, you want to talk about the creeps of reality.

Yes I'd like if they had caught him that day too, but they have no grounds for just coming in your home. Imagine if someone says you're holding someone in your home and the cops come in . Dump out all your cereal and pasta boxes , throwing it all on the floor, cutting open your furniture, dumping all your dressers , cutting your mattresses. And just overall trashing everything in your home... thats what they do when the come in peoples homes. Even opening holes in walls sometimes. All without any compensation to fix damages or the emotional distress. Keep in mind, all your neighbors see the 10 cop cars and flashing lights , the whole community knows. Youre assuled guilty off public rumors... Just cause someone says you did something , doesnt give the cops or govt the ability to do what you think they should be able to.

Something in the water... imagine the mental issues they had , or the experiences that caused them to enact such a life. I dont believe people are born as such. If you go with that idea, born as serial killers, then everyone is capable. Human nature allows for self preservation and narcissism in every person, and circumstance could allow for all , especially males, to follow such a path. Women are less likely, obviously. But I think its young age and adolescent experience that caused these people to grow up to this lifestyle. Weird mommy -child dynamic, or a absent dad , paired with abuse

It really grates on me to hear him called "prolific". I usually associate the word with a great amount of work, like prolific authors and so forth. I think he should be called the "worst", not the most "prolific" it sounds like praise to my ears.

These otherwise kind and hardworking detectives need to stop talking about female victims as "someone's mother/sister/daughter". They were someone in their own right, not just a family member to someone else.

This one blows my mind ..

They happen to be everywhere. I personally lived in Oak Harbor, WA, in the 60'. Went to Jr high school and high school with another one of your serial killers, Robert Yates. Later moved to Southern California and came in contact with another one of them. Gerald Parker, who's on death row in San Quinton. Had a roommate in Southern California who had contact with another serial killer as a 12, year old. The individual there name was William Bonin. He happened to be the first individual executed by lethal injection. Like i said, these individuals are more common than you think.

You use that excuse to push people away, to protect yourself from being hurt."

Imagine how life shattering and heartbreaking. It would be to think you’re a perfect marriage and know that the man you were with is the most prolific serial killer in American history. Look on her face when she describes the messages she got from him about him coming home late… man that sucks

I still freak out about this guy. I had my turn for a chance encounter. I knew I was in trouble the moment I closed the truck door. But it ends with him reaching for his gun and it hitting the back of the seat and falls out of his hand. He was still being weird and I kept getting louder and he knew in a moment he was going to have to fight for his life because I was going to be fighting for mine. I just thought he was some weirdo, it wasn't till years later that I found out who he was when I was getting ready for work and had the sound down so I didn't wake anybody. But I recognised him the moment they showed him being lead into a courtroom. He wasn't wearing his glasses, but I said to myself, "hey it's that weirdo". Later after I got off work he was on the evening news and this time he had his glasses on. I called it in on the night that it happened but only had a partial license plate. Don't believe the bullshit that he was killing prostitutes, I had gotten off work and was wearing waiter gear which included an apron, hardly what a prostitute would be wearing. I always wondered if anyone else escaped. But I'll never forget him. I was living in Federalway, Washington at the time, this was over 30 years ago.
