Summary

If this were a Hollywood movie, the story of Gary Ridgway would build to an explosive climax. Considering the path he took, the events the unfolded, and the continued escalation… I wouldn’t blame you for thinking that. The end of a serial killer’s life of violence is often as dull as any other crime. A knock may come at the killer in questions door. They may be interrupted at their workplace. Asked to come downtown. There are exceptions of course. Richard Ramirez and Ted Bundy both had captured fit for the silver screen. Not Gary. No, Gary’s arrest, after a life of violent thrashing, came during a period of relative inactivity.
