Gary Ridgway mystery solved: Here's why the Green River Killer was briefly moved to King County Jail

For months, a mystery surrounded Gary Ridgway, one of the worst serial killers in American history. Why was he moved from his prison cell in Walla Walla to the King County Jail from September 9-13, 2024?

With 49 confirmed murders, Ridgway became the most prolific serial killer in American history. But many believe the actual number is much higher. In a 2014 interview with me, Ridgway claimed he killed as many as 85 women.

Gary Ridgway agreed to lead detectives to remains

According to a motion filed by King County Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Mary H. Barbosa, Ridgway had agreed to take detectives to locations where he claimed he had left remains that had not yet been recovered.

Detectives took Ridgway back to sites where he claimed to have left victims’ remains. They hoped this would be their last chance to get real answers from him. But once again, he misled them.
