Gary Ridgway murdered at least forty-nine women. He did it over nearly two decades, in the same Pacific Northwest corridor that made Ted Bundy a household name. And for most of that time, he was punching a time card at Kenworth Truck Company, painting vehicles, attending church, and living an unremarkable life in suburban Seattle.

This episode opens the question that sits at the centre of the entire case: why doesn't everyone know this name? The gap between Ridgway's confirmed body count and his cultural obscurity isn't accidental — it was built, in part, by the logic of his victim selection. He targeted women whose disappearances would be slow to generate a high-priority response. Prostitutes working the highway corridors south of Seattle. Runaways. Young women already living at the margins of the systems that might have noticed them gone.

The Green River Task Force was formed in August 1982, weeks after sixteen-year-old Wendy Lee Coffield was pulled from the water. By April 1983, it was the largest active murder investigation in the United States. Ridgway was already on the radar — a witness placed him with a missing woman, Marie Malvar, in 1983. Police went to his door. He denied everything. A 1984 polygraph cleared him. A 1987 saliva sample went into storage, waiting fourteen years for the DNA technology that would finally match it.

This episode covers the full arc: the murders, the failed intercepts, the 2001 DNA hit, the 2003 plea deal that exchanged a death sentence for cooperation, and the forty-eight hours of recorded interviews in which Ridgway described, in operational detail, everything he'd done. Forty-eight murder convictions. The most ever entered against a single individual in American criminal history.
