Green River serial killer - Pennie Morehead

Judith Ridgway had been neglected, misunderstood, and abused until she met the man of her dreams, Gary Ridgway, who has become known as the Green River Serial Killer by the rest of the world. For fourteen happy years, Judith shared her life with an attentive and kind husband, never suspecting there was a secret side to the man she loved until the storybook romance of her life turned into a terrifying nightmare. Gary Ridgway masterfully managed his two identities: one that included romantic vacations, cycling, and raising Poodles with his wife, the other that included obsessions with a two-decade habit of soliciting prostitutes and young runaway girls near the Seattle-Tacoma Airport, strangling those who angered him. Subsequent to his arrest in 2001, Gary confessed to murdering 48 females, in a deal that spared his life. In addition, he alluded to his having killed many more -- too many to remember! This book examines America's most deadly serial killer through the loving eyes of his wife. Also included in this exclusive, authorised biography, are photos from the Ridgway private albums, letters handwritten by Gary from prison, and the author's own professional analysis of his handwriting.
