Gary Ridgway would kill his victims by strangling them or choking them. He would pick up the prostitutes/runaway women and take them back to their house or attack them in the car. Afterwards he would dump their bodies throughout the forest of King County, often returning to the burial site to have sexual intercourse with their dead bodies. He did this same procedure with almost all of his victims but was very discreet about his ways. When he would meet the women that he picked up Gary would show them his drivers license but would hide his name and then they would also make the photo of his son visible to them to make them think he was "normal".
