re: Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, preparing to bust open the gates of Hell

So, the very last paragraph of that story says the whole story is not true.

WTF?

I have 2 Green River Killer adjacent stories:

In the late 80's, I used to work summers at the Boeing Developmental Center in Seattle doing maintenance work, mostly roofing stuff. (I was part of a crew of 4 college guys doing summer work, great summer job.)

Our direct supervisor was interviewed, twice, by the Green River Task Force as a suspect in the killings. Our supervisor told us stories about his interviews (he was quite proud of the attention) and he said he was asked about his involvement with prostitutes (which he admitted to) and the fact that our maintenance crew shack was located next door to the Paccar (Kenworth trucks) facility. (After he was arrested, it was learned that Ridgway worked for Paccar, albeit at the Renton facility and not the one next door to the Boeing facility that my supervisor worked at).

My second experience came in 2004. I had been practicing law for about 10 years, and I was representing a serial killer. Our local/rural law enforcement didn't have the resources to properly investigate the crime scene, so they called in the Green River Task Force to process the scene.

The Green River Task Force showed up, all in matching swag, and took over processing the scene (a house and surrounding 3 acres) and managed to alienate virtually every person they had contact with, even most of the local law enforcement guys that they were supposed to be assisting. To this day, I don't know anyone that was impressed with their work. (They did stuff that no experienced crime scene investigator would ever be caught dead doing).

I've often wondered if their investigation into Ridgway was hindered by how abrasive they were.

I heard that Ridgway’s coworkers at Kenworth used to tease him about his resemblance to the composite sketches of the Green River Killer suspect. He just shrugged it off and continued killing. I was living in California at the time and had no idea that there was prostitution going on at Sea-Tac on Pacific Highway 99.

And we are so very grateful that we were able to pay $50+K per year to feed and house this satanic POS!

Bullet to the head with these types.

Our entire system is BROKEN on purpose.

They monetized the prison system and it pays to have #’s

Come on ya'll. You know how LE works. Rigdway claimed he could help close "a significant number of missing people / murder cases". Prosecution agreed and we have 48 closed murder cases.

The dude will die in prison. It's a win for the families.
