America's Deadliest Serial Killer: Inside the Mind of Gary Ridgeway (Crime Documentary) 

Hats off to the people that have to uncover these corpses.. U have to have nerves of steal The greatest respect to u all..

I feel so sad for her. That poor woman

Empathy is not an adjective

@@malonielangthorne2848 here’s some of that attention you were looking for. Ooh wait, never mind. No one cares.

What is strange, is their meeting seemed to stop the murders for a while, tragically his seemingly genuine love for her, probably saved lives. The poor woman, what a horrible thing to live with, hopefully she saved some women in the period where the murders stopped.

no joke.!!!!!

With no mention of the little pyramid stones that linked so many of the murders.

May I know the name of the narrator?

Anything based on Ann Rule's research is bound to be top-notch. She was a Master at her craft. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, we lived what she wrote. Brudos, Bundy and a whole lot more. So many places to dump bodies here.

"Crime Zone's" narrator is quite an eloquent story teller , also, btw; Telling the story, WELL, is a CRAFT but there are many SLOPPY story copyists...JUST FOR THE VIEWS. The ones that merely hijack video clips and then have nothing of merit to even say about what they've stolen are the WORST. We happen to like the narrators on "Forty-Eight Hours" -they'll never replace KENDRA btw...the New Detectives are pretty eloquent too. It's sad to hear about someone who's trying to support their three children, whose been a victim of abuse-who thinks they HAVE to work as a prostitute; Seems that even fast food workers HIRING some of these mothers, sometimes show empathy for them...Surely it should be a last resort, and not a "way to work your way through college!"

Oh my God… I can’t even imagine. So eerie reading your story. Not to bring up what you must’ve been feeling… but how was the town after they caught him… and did people talk about the murders before he was caught? Was it some urban legend… I have so many questions. But I don’t want to be too nosey or make you feel uncomfortable. This serial killer was such huge news… and you’re the first person I’ve met who was from that area. Again. If it’s too much, I understand. ❤️

Damn, chilling, hidden in plain sight..

​@@vf12497439go look for shallow depressions or places where the plants are growing much stronger than right nearby

That’s crazy man. Don’t have any guilt about not noticing or anything!

I had similar thoughts when Wesley Dodd was killing kids in Vancouver. I thought that I read his electric meter several times while he had killed people and wondered if other killers or future killers were ever near me. It’s creepy.

. I know me 2😢

I think you are right. The effect on him was palpable. That cut him long, hard and deep.

No. That father’s judgement was twisted by brainwashing. The forgiveness God spoke of is not for raping babies and strangling children nor prostitutes. Forgiveness has boundaries. You do not have to stand up there and virtue signal to get respect. Just speak from the heart about your loss. Trust that God will do the rest. But believe it. Forgiveness will not be part of the judgement.

He may have told him he forgave him but I truly don’t believe that…..

@@cynthiageorge3029Then you don’t know jesus. Jesus can do the impossible.

yes the tests can be beaten but they can often tell when someone is being deceitful of course if lying doesn’t affect you neurologically or physically the test isn’t gonna detect what isn’t there.

@@bloodaonadeline8346 They're also so unreliable it's basically pseudoscience. It's more of an intimidation tactic than a way to discover the truth.

Psychopathy comes from sociopathy.. even sociopaths who don't commit crimes can't pass them bc of the very nature of sociopathy🤷‍♀️ so read up on that so you understand what Im saying✌🏼

He has a very low iq. Lie detector tests are just a tool, henceforth they're results aren't permitted in cour

polygraphs are junk pseudoscience. The only real use they have is as plot devices in tv shows/movies. They are not a real thing.

A better heart than I would have

I could never forgive if that was me.

WOW :( thats so sad

This man had lost his child, his world, but he was able to stand in a packed courtroom and show genuine empathy and emotion towards the killer of his child , uttering the words most of those could not utter. He is an incredible human being. Sadly very few of us have the integrity of this man. This man's humanity outshined everything else in this video, it's the one thing said that stands out most, it's the one thing we remember most from the video✝

​@@GurovskiStop putting words in everyone's mouths. Some people can forgive & some can't. I remember a few things from this video, but the thing that stands out most is NOT Mr. Rule's forgiveness.

People say killers have no value for human life. I don't think that's true. If they didn't think life has value, they'd not go around taking it--you don't, for example, go around picking up and collecting things you don't think are valuable either. Rather, they enjoy the power that comes from taking lives. That's why they don't have a problem trying to get out of the death penalty, because it's another way for them to exert power or prevent someone else from having the same one they had had over so many others.

Yep, surrendering to the deranged compulsions and succumbing to the influences of the darkest temptations is the inherent trait of the weak flesh.

A human is the most evil creature in the planet meanest to

Truly....

This comment touched me I'm in VA. This case was what made me starte watching . Reading and studing serials I read anything I could find on Ridgeway I also didn't think they could catch up to him I started praying and praying over this It broke my heart tht so many families were hurting. I wanted to watch his full court procedures but I never could find that.. don't know why they won't release that info and his full interigati9ns. I'm so sorry the folks living out there was terrorized that way I hope you are ok all of yall. I'd have been a nervous wreck. Respect from Va.

I grew up in Wichita, KS during the BTK murders.. its affected me my whole life! Hugs!

@lindaarrington9397 thank you so much. I want to say there wasn't a trial he just plead guilty. And didn't pass GO. Just went straight to jail. He is what a monster is!!!

@chrissieroxba2949 oh I totally can relate. During the Bundy yrs, my mom wouldn't let us play in our front yard or ride our bikes. It's like we were on lock down.

​@@chrissyknowsitall5170Well, for good reason. That must have been terrifying, living life as that was all going on. Hugs.

I don't think people are will ever be able to fully put themselves into their shoes 😢 their terror will have been insurmountable. My God,there were so many of them though, so so many, and probably many more we will never know about. Horrendous case 😢

@@hannahhopkinson9044Exactly my thoughts! That man had a wife and children but that didn’t mean anything to him! My how could a human being be so extremely cruel like that? It’s beyond my understanding. I feel very sorry for the families of all the young girls. I’d Never forgive it!!

I got moved by that too what an astonishing thing to do - it got to him when al others didn't seem to :/

Don't be Street Sxxxx

Don't be Street S****

They did follow up. They went to the house. Sorry but we're not letting the govt run rampant in our homes. I know women get emotional and throw logic out the window , but the govt is prevented from doing such things for a reason. It's to protect all of us from the govt. Yes I'd like if they had caught him that day too, but they have no grounds for just coming in your home. Imagine if someone says you're holding someone in your home and the cops come in . Dump out all your cereal and pasta boxes , throwing it all on the floor, cutting open your furniture, dumping all your dressers , cutting your mattresses. And just overall trashing everything in your home... thats what they do when the come in peoples homes. Even opening holes in walls sometimes. All without any compensation to fix damages or the emotional distress. Keep in mind, all your neighbors see the 10 cop cars and flashing lights , the whole community knows. Youre assuled guilty off public rumors... Just cause someone says you did something , doesnt give the cops or govt the ability to do what you think they should be able to. On top of all that, there's no way of knowing if she was even still there when the cop knocked at the door

That was so negligent!

I don't understand the family - I would have barged in if I thought my daughter was in that house.

@@all_avation Me too and took the risk of arrest.

A stakeout could have saved dozens of lives, who were those two stupid cops that talked to Ridgeway

Who?

She died in 2015.

Yes, great author ❤️❤️ feel like I know her from how many books I've read by her

@@beckyboo1433 Same here and she used to be a 👮 officer herself.

@@beckyboo1433 fancy seeing you!!! What a great documentary!!

Why does the father making the killer cry such a big deal to so many people? Why is “forgiveness “ for this murderer the biggest deal? I feel it comes less from “Christianity” than the fact that you don’t care about the lives of these victims. They weren’t real victims to you so his “conversion “ is more important.

That was quite powerful.

I hope it made Ridgeway feel some remorse. But I can’t help feel that it’s not the father’s place to forgive him, because he wasn’t the one killed.

Psychopaths have no capacity to feel empathy they just can’t. He was definitely not feeling anything . Probably” it “was thinking that is what a normal human would do and managed to cry out of shame. They are barely human beings and most of them are in power and in finance only a small percentage kills

He has no right to forgive the murderer. The crime was done against someone else.

I read the book about Pee Wee Gaskins and this video just touched on his crimes. He used to fill his victims with molten lead in all their orifices why they were still alive.Truly horrific.

It’s not surprising Netflix as brainwashing people into accepting violence and other acts as normal when in more censorship when it comes to violent act on Netflix and other apps

Nah, it's comprehensible. What's truly remarkable is the level of compassion and forgiveness shown by that father.

​@@TraceyDevine-bo1kpDid he? Wow... 🤮

Unfortunately, that's how some folks get their kicks. Hard thing for a normal person to relate to

I know My brother couldn't stay out of trouble We had no clue what he was doing till he was arrested I hate when any one blames these killers families Also u are so right. They are victims also. Have a nice weekend.

She needs to go to prison!

To think all those he slept with before and after death is seriously something that would make me physically sick. I bet he was not only a walking sicko but he was a walking disease, i imagine she got tested after finding out she married a dirty, sick disease. She must have been so soft that she allowed him to just do what he liked and trusted him to be what she wanted, not looking at who he really was. I noticed many people do that. They have an image of someone and believe that. See, this is why I'm single.. I sniff out lies.. because I don't trust word of mouth or actions, I question everything and look for answers. Get me a gift, I will remember that. If u got me a wolly (wool) jumper, my interpretation would be you think I'm a sheep. I never believe guys just buy u a gift, I always think what's it for, why that gift. I'm hyperalert and hypersensitive to my environment. If i have even a little twitch, if I get an alert, no matter how tiny it is, I will watch and question their every move. Without saying a word.

@@lindaarrington9397 What did you brother do?

​@@swallowedinthesea11 why does she??? He had everyone else fooled , why not her???

😂😂😂

I think I'm more traumatized by her than anything, his daughter.

SO TRUE. She expressed more emotion over her friend being killed than the sexual assault, hacking, and killing of that TODDLER. That is very sick.

Lets all agree shes not in her right mind. Shes like a child

Which one are you talking about?

@@user-de6vq7rk8t the 2nd account..., PeeWee's daughter

Agreed 😵‍💫😳

He probably treated her like a princess!! Honestly..

She really pissed me off, talking about her daddy like she is proud of him

Obviously she disassociates with it thru verbalization

Apples don't fall far from the tree. The creepy daughter has the same genes as her psychopath father. She is a digusting creature.

Spoken like a true serial killer mother in the making Look at the mothers of serial killers

The cops were letting him get away with it because the victims were criminals

​@adamirishconundrum851 Yeah, their prejudice caused some real reluctance. Luckily wiser heads eventually came into leadership. The early failures changed how King Co. approached cases like this.

How dare you say such disgusting hate speech. And RU-vid allows this kind of comment?!?!

That's how I felt when I saw that too.

I feel like she's so desensitised to the horrific things as being almost normal because she knew her dad as a kind man to her so she knows how bad the things he did were but mentally it's like a different person or just a story she read not someone who she loves. The trauma has got to have messed up her brain!

I agree. I often had the feeling she was proud of her "Daddy". She honestly gave me shivers.

Omg me too! Instantly i thought omfg she's proud of her father!​@waternineeightlotus2869

Was never aware of that case, must check it out, or maybe I shouldn't, anything to do with kids very tough watch

@@MarkOrourke-rh5fu yes it was he also kill adults to and he threw the victims in the river so check it out

@@sarahconn3285 thanks Sarah gonna search for it next now , appreciate it..

@@MarkOrourke-rh5fu welcome

There are videos on RU-vid already.

sometimes, incredibly rarely, it sometimes is a mannequin, but sadly human bodies are considerably more common to find than a perfectly formed mannequin. What utterly sick person would dump a mannequin in a woodland area 🙄

Sometimes a labrador is just a golden retriever. And sometimes, a mannequin is just a mannequin

Everytime I watch one of these shows and they say "they thought it was a mannequin" I end up singing "it's never a mannequin" in an array of tunes because it's said so often

In my hometown a couple of teens were stealing mannequins and wrapping them in clear plastic with duct tape where the mouth was and fake blood all over them. Some were left in woods some were left on creek banks and some were weighted down and put in the creeks. It was hilarious and creepy at the same time

@@user-sd5bj5sy7i omg those people are sick, using mannequins in such a horrid way with fake blood, why did they not use real bodies like normal people🙄?

Reichert was a good detective. He's a bit of a git, otherwise.

@@rachaelik Reichert is a Republican. Truck Painter Gary Ridgeway did not destroy Seattle, the Democrat party destroyed Seattle with BLM Antifa and Palestinian Jew haters. Here in Portland Oregon I grew up with Green Bay Packer Running Back Randall Woodfield. Woodfield would look up prior high school and college friends during off season for dating and serial killing.

Gov Insleez was the pile that removed the D penalty in WA. Saving the lives of convicted Serials in WA. On the tax payers dime.

Washington loves democrats and chaos to much to vote republican.

why would you say ' I don't care if his victims were prostitutes ' - reconsider your use of language

@@antiochiaadtaurum3786: It shouldn't matter what kind of lifestyles ppl lead nobody deserves to be raped and murdered is the point I was trying to make that everyone seemed to get.

@derekbaker him and ted bundy operated on same patch ted bundy also was offered a plea deal life with out parole he did not want the deal because he genuinely thought he would get off

@@derekbaker777 there’s a series called death row stories with a German bloke and he did a lot of interviews with inmates on Texas males on death row “before their scheduled execution “…a lot get their lawyers to go to court/supreme courts to get a stay for this that and the 3rd saying lethal injection protocol with the drugs is cruel unusual punishment im sorry what about their victims why should they be able to fall asleep have a peaceful execution no I’m sorry there was alot of said botched executions and I am sorry there is no such thing as a botched execution

She made the statement that not even prostitutes deserve to die because sadly there are people out here who think these women should be fair game for those willing to murder.

That's the part that really stuck with me too. Just think about seeing your significant other in a vehicle kidnapped and following them and finding the vehicle and the house you no there in and the person you witnessed says no one's here and the police say okay and leave. The officer that went to that house that day is trash. I hope he thinks about that everyday

@@catladytx IKR?? I’d like to think they would have a conscience!!

Amen!!.....Same here!!!

Same here 🤠

She sounds a little bit obsessed with " Ma Daddy" she's seriously off isn't she

As I'm looking at her, I thought of the term "raccon eyes" and she's definitely off.

I think she’s just been messed up from birth

Her father is the worse serial killer in us history I believe, I think it has probably messed her up some what!!

@@MarkOrourke-rh5fu Mmm yeah that's debatable. Believe Samuel Little holds that title, as much as Peewee would like that crown.

She seems proud of her dad.

She's definitely a couple of sandwiches she of a picnic.

Maybe he was

@@alfiesdad4757maybe he was to her. But idk if i could ever speak to my dad if he did all these things

She comes across as quite sweet, to me. Her blunt, matter of fact, history telling is just down to earth, South Carolinan honesty, imo. Obviously having to live with her father's crimes has taken it's toll on her, but unconditional love to close family is a commendable trait, regardless.

It’s all the inbreeding

She testified against him. She also warned officials about the plan to murder someone in jail. I think she's horrified but used to it by now.

😢 trauma makes people do weird things though

FBI estimate there are currently 60 active SKs in the US.

Crazy they can't find them given modern day technology and DNA cameras etc aswell.

"The wages of sin is death." Romans 6:23

​@@TransoceanicOutreachthere's more than that if you add the trucker's that are doing the same thing. They estimated around 250 that pick up the girls in one state and dump their bodies in another making it almost impossible to identify the remains.

​@@DTM93that's how they just got LISK, he threw away his pizza crusts in a trashcan in the middle of Manhattan. They also matched his wife's hair to a strand found on a victim.

Died too young. Great actor. RIP

I think the same way His parents twisted his mind That's 5 sure But I also think he had this evil in him Born bad.

He had a " dead mother" complex. His relationship with his mother defined who he became.

@@melisentiapheiffer3034Way to massively downplay his father calling women whores and taking him with to his prostitute excursions. He wouldn’t hate women without his dad putting those thoughts into his head!

Yeah, it's always mum's fault .... NOT

@@judepower4425 I'm not saying it's ALL mom's. Don't be thick!

Sad times for sure x

who knows what he did with her also, if anything she sounds like a proud child. calling him daddy.

I'm sure she's illiterate and probably born in the backwoods with only him to talk to..

Twisted, demented, and sick

Is there a documentary you recommend? I don't know much about him or the case.

Disgusting

Scary!

And I think what ppl don't understand, we have to forgive or we aren't forgiven. I'm sure ole Ridgeway realized if this guy could forgive him God could.. but hard to say bc you know.. he was just feeling sorry for himself🤷‍♀️ Anyways I was more worried about Bundy bc both myself & my BFF were straight up his type & the right age.. he just loved the good-hearted kinda gal✌🏼😎

The word of The Lord is clear. Women, know your place. It is beside your husband. I pray you will be delivered from Satan's grip and unto Jesus Christ pur Lord Amen 🙏

Well, they were someone's daughters, sisters, and mothers. Regardless of the life they were living, there were people who loved them.

@@eddiejames9827 yes I absolutely agree with you, they are ALSO someone’s daughter/mother etc. I should have been clearer in my initial post. But we don’t have to be something to someone to be someone ourselves. I say this because for those sad souls that have lost their way and have no one to grieve them… they are also worthy.

@@marcomoreno6748 yeah nah!!! My place is where I want it to be. ALONGSIDE my husband is one of those places. But I’ll decide. Thanks

@marcomoreno6748 dude shut up. How about know your own place, which isn't telling the rest of us how to live our lives.

I was a teenager when the task force was formed and he had brown hair … I grew older and had children, his hair was white/ grey when he retired from the force . That guy was determined & gave his lively hood to this .

@@kimthomas8717 He gave everything to catch him and this video doesn't ever even say his name

Amen for this Sheriff and all the people that had to deal handling of all those poor bodies left behind, in both stories!!! How anyone could sleep after being involved in finding them, it's amazing that they could finish the lives they had. Hopefully. Bcuz of these sic monsters. That daughter??? Well she sure knew lots & lots, didn't she, sweet Ole lil thing...😢.. what did he do to her?

@@bearxbunny1835 Yes he did and I admire him greatly for seeing these women as human beings. Instead of trash because of what they did for a living,we're all human beings no matter your race or the color of your skin,or sexual preferences God made all of us. And Jesus Christ is Hebrew not black white or Hispanic.

She didnt strike me in that way

There was something off about it to me. But I’d describe it as emotionally blunted. As she recounts what happened there could be her adolescent way of coming to terms with it. She was no doubt affected by it in ways that we can’t imagine or rationalize. I still found your comment was acknowledging the disconnect between the horrific events she describes with a tone as if they were just neutral or, like you said, proud or endearing but I don’t think that is fair in a situation like this. She’s not going to be ‘normal’ emotionally and mentally. That’s my opinion anyway. Either way we found it disconcerting for good reason.

@@deltalimabravo6727 i agree. She seemed to be coping as best she could with what she was given to work with emotionally, cognitivelly and given how she was most likely nurtured. I live in the deep south and i have seen a hundred thousand just like her. Not especially bright, articulate or sophisticated; but all resillient, good people trying hard to survive and make sense and find meaning the best way they know how.

Learned to lie well

It's dangerous because it is illegal, and forced into the black market Countries with legalized and regulated prostitution don't have these problems.

Obvious danger???

not trying to be rude or smart a$$ but I mean, Look at her father. You cant be right with a sire like that

Her elevator doesn't go to the top!

​​@@JEM1989your absolutely right .. the guy is the stereotypical racist or gangmember(and no matter the skin color anyone of any variety can be a racist or gang member) ...as mentioned a couple cans short of a six pack 😂😂.

Simple people with simple minds.

Just a typical inbred Appalachia type...

Hes probably the most prolific. Bundy or him

I agree with that totally, not a word I'd use either

Yes, it makes it sound as if they were producing something of merit!

you feel so sad for the victims, but you're here watching this program just like most here to hear and see the details of how this seamlessly pleasant man gruesomely killed these women. We can all pretend to feel sad for the victims but that's only because that's how we're meant to be seen to feel. Most of his victims were prostitutes who exaggerate their vulnerabilities. They are not true victims as they made a choice to make themselves pseudo-victims through their manipulative lifestyle choices for their own pathetic selfish needs. Most prostitutes leave a trail of victims every day they are out there like predators looking for Johns. The only genuine victims are those who were not genuine prostitutes and some of those who were forced into prostitution at an early inexperienced stage of this new working lifestyle. The experienced prostitutes are the ones who knew the risks but used the risk factor as a badge of honour, who had developed a manipulative blame game for everything they did in their life and used men as a tool to explain their pathetic inadequacies and cowardly behaviour towards the rejection of their adult and citizen responsibilities. As for the Oscar winning actress Judith who's done countle$$ interview$, $he's never had it so good since her boring mundane life came to an end after her husband was caught. She gets more attention now than ever before. I'm sure her manager will be making more opportunities for her, while at the same time choosing a new luxury EV. Most victims in life, made themselves victims by choice. Genuine victims are very rare indeed. Once you're over your pretending to care like so many , why not write to Gary, but don't forget to scent the note paper 🙄 Apologies in advance, I read a lot of Dostoevsky.

​@Gurovski I guess you weren't there for the "he didn't go after the seasoned prostitute, the ones that knew the streets. He went after THE YOUNGER, LESS AWARE OF PEOPLE, THE TEENS" YUP, there goes your disgusting theory to the point you could be put in a same category. Poor Judith. Thank God he met and stayed with this monster, she saved tons of victims by being a good wife, solid from the freak of a mother he had. But what would we know. But you seem to know this all too. Stay away from Judith, man who feels too much disregard for what she's been thru!

@@Gurovski Cool story, bro. Your rambling screed doesn’t read like a serial killer’s manifesto AT ALL. You sound like an incel. I really hope you get over your hatred of women and work on yourself.

And what were the saintly men using the prostitutes for. Go read another author youre sick

@@Gurovski Let's talk about *compassion* ... or the lack of it 🙄

Right bc I'm not understanding why more wasn't done the killings SHOULD'VE been stopped a long time ago. There was hardly any investigation done like they went STRAIGHT to the killers house I'm truly not understanding their logic this is beyond ridiculous

It is important to remember that these homicidal psychopaths are humans and often very normal on the outside, at least at the first glance. They are not some phantoms or monsters but very dangerous humans. I agree they are very inhumane and cruel and I have no sympathy for them

Something in the water... imagine the mental issues they had , or the experiences that caused them to enact such a life. I dont believe people are born as such. If you go with that idea, born as serial killers, then everyone is capable. Human nature allows for self preservation and narcissism in every person, and circumstance could allow for all , especially males, to follow such a path. Women are less likely, obviously. But I think its young age and adolescent experience that caused these people to grow up to this lifestyle. Weird mommy -child dynamic, or a absent dad , paired with abuse

Well, it seemed like she listened to all his stories, especially once he was in custody. I have to say her matter of fact, calm way of discussing this is odd. But then again, she's probably had to relate this many times and isn't going to get hysterical about it like it's fresh info. 🤷🏻

Omg. She is severely traumatized 😢
