Gary Ridgway also known as the Green River Killer is an American serial killer born in Utah based in Washington State. As he was finally arrested in 2001 now at age 65 he will spend the rest of his life in jail instead of receiving the death penalty. The majority of Ridgways victims were prostitutes who he would pick up in his car, murder and rape them, then dump their bodies each in different places around King County. He would often return to the dead bodies to have intercourse with them. Gary Ridgway got the death penalty dropped when he decided he would help investigators disclose the whereabouts of hidden bodies. He now spends his imprisonment at Washington State Penitentiary. Ridgway had been in three marriages before imprisonment and the second wife birthed his only son.
