Trigger Warning:
This episode contains a disturbing amount of “fucks.” Like, genuinely—so many that even Gary Ridgway might’ve blushed (and that’s saying something). Proceed with snacks, caffeine, and perhaps a sage bundle.

Episode Description:
In Part One of our deep dive into one of America’s most prolific serial killers, we unravel the twisted origins of Gary Leon Ridgway—the man who smiled through sermons, cried during Bible readings, and somehow thought murder was part of his life plan. From his warped childhood in Salt Lake City to his early days in Washington State, we unpack every red flag this guy waved like it was a personal hobby.

We then begin our heartbreaking journey through the lives of the first 25 of his 49 confirmed victims—women and girls who deserved far better than to become headlines in one of the darkest chapters in true crime history. Expect grim facts, emotional whiplash, and our trademark “coping-through-chaos” commentary.

And somewhere in between all that darkness, we decide to take a Subway break because true crime is hungry work.

Join us for part one of The Green River Killer series—it’s heavy, it’s unhinged, it’s heartfelt, and it’s so Haunted & Homicidal.
