Genre: True Crime, Documentary
Beginning in the early 1980s, Washington state was gripped with fear as the bodies of young women began appearing along the banks of the Green River.
As the number of victims grew, investigators created a taskforce and enlisted the help of the FBI, but it took almost 20 years to finally catch their man.
Through startling and chilling tapes and video archive of Gary Ridgway's police interviews, this documentary reveals, in Ridgway's own disturbing words, insight into his evil: from how his troubling behaviour as a child morphed into his morbid motivation to murder as many women as possible.
As one of America's most prolific serial killers, Ridgway earned his moniker from the area where he chose to dispose of his victims – along the banks of the Green River in Washington state.
Ridgway was convicted of killing 49 women between 1982 and 2001, though he confessed to 71 murders and it is believed he committed more than 90.
To his friends and neighbours, Ridgway came across as a "stand-up guy" and loving father and husband, a characteristic he often exploited in order to give his victims a false sense of security.
This film delves into every facet of Ridgway's complicated psyche, exposing how he eventually transformed into a prolific serial killer.
