He held the same job for 30 years, married three times, and attended church on Sundays. Gary Ridgway — the Green River Killer — was hiding in plain sight for nearly two decades while methodically strangling scores of women across King County, Washington. In Part 1 of this two-part true crime deep dive, therapists Shannon and Cathy apply their criminal psychology expertise to one of the most baffling serial killer investigations in American history — how does a predator this prolific go undetected for so long?

From the bodies first discovered along the Green River in 1982 to the failed polygraph that pushed Ridgway down the suspect list for years, this episode traces the jaw-dropping failures and near-misses of the investigation. Shannon and Cathy bring their clinical lens to what made Ridgway so psychologically elusive — and so dangerous.

Part 2 drops next week. Until then... lock your doors. 🔒
