I just watched his episode on Netflix’s new series and now I’m trying to go down the rabbit hole. But I can’t find anything other than short clips of his interviews anywhere.
Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, confessed to killing 71 women but was only prosecuted for 49 murders. Both Ridgway and King County authorities believe the real number of victims is closer to 80. Due to this discrepancy the Green River task force is still in operation with dozens of missing and murdered women still on their possible Green River victim list. But some of the strangest entries on this list are the two (previously 3) living Jane Does who were believed to be victims of Gary Ridgway. The two following women known only as Michelle and Angie were women known to law enforcement in King County in the early 1980s who subsequently disappeared and whose whereabouts are unknown to this day.
It is unclear if Michelle and Angie were arrested under aliases/were using false identities or if they were simply known to law enforcement because they were part of “the scene” a term used in GRK literature to refer to those living on the fringes of society such as sex workers, exotic dancers, hitchhikers, homeless people, and those addicted to drugs or alcohol. But either way, these two women are known only by their first names and disappeared around the time and in the same area that Ridgway was known to operate in. Unfortunately, no picture is available of “Angie” but there are some photos available of Michelle here. Michelle is described as an African American female in her 20s who was last seen in downtown Seattle in December of 1980. She has black-brown short hair, brown eyes, and a light complexion. She might have gone by the first name Michelle and it is unknown if this was her real name or not. She was also believed to have ties to the New York area.
While researching I came across the case of Michelle Ellis of Indiana who disappeared in 1978. 23 year old Ellis left her parents home at 8 am on August 2nd, 1978 and drove away. One hour later her abandoned car was found nearby. It had run out of gas and it appeared that Ellis may have left the car to walk to a gas station ½ block away. She left all of her personal belongings behind in the car. Her friends and family say she had never disappeared before and a search of her parents home, where she lived, turned up no clues as to her whereabouts. Then on December 11th, 1980 Ellis’s parents received a phone call that said only “this is Michelle” before the line d

I find it strange when someone went to two universities he claimed to have attended and they said they never heard of him. All Bob had to do was produce one report card, student ID card, one yearbook with his photo in it from MIT or Caltech, etc. and I would have had a lot more respect for him. Since he has never produced one shred of evidence from these two fantastic universities, I dont believe a word he says about him working at Area 51.
If you read the chapter on alien spacecraft disintegrating on impact with even the smallest space rocks in astrophysist Hugh Ross's book Lights In The Sky & Little Green Men (2002), at speeds even close to the speed of light, you may come to believe as I do, that no aliens from outer space have ever made it to earth. There is no way their spacecraft could survive such a trip traveling at the speeds they would need to.
Hello everyone, for the last few months I have been creating long form write-ups on a variety of unsolved cases. If you are interested in other lengthy write ups you can find them on my profile- https://www.reddit.com/user/Quirky-Motor/.
Also, huge shout out to everyone who voted for the earlier parts of this series in the Best of 2020 series contest. I am honored that so many of you remembered the post and took time to read it. Those posts can be found here.
Background
Serial killer Gary Ridgway confessed to 71 murders, but was only charged with 49. Of those 49, 3 victims are still Jane Does. Official victim counts place known victims at 52-55 women. The other 15 or so women are still unknown; their bodies undiscovered. But Ridgway and investigators place Ridgway’s body count realistically at 80-100 victims. Who are these people?
Most of Ridgway's victims were killed in between 1982 and 1984 in the worst killing spree that the country had ever seen, with the murderer killing women and girls sometimes more than once a week. Ridgway continued murdering until at least 1998, but police believe he committed crimes until 2001 when he was arrested. Ridgeway claims that he started his killing spree in early 1982. He says does not remember killing anyone in the 1970s but admits that it is possible.
Ridgway has only been charged with homicides if he both confessed and there was one or more pieces of evidence against him. For example, if he led investigators to a body he was charged with that murder and all the murders of the women he left in the same cluster. He has also been charged with other cases if there was circumstantial evidence, fiber evidence, paint chip evidence, or DNA. He has not been charged with the murders of women still missing or women whose cases cannot be linked to him in a corroborating way, which is why the confession list is so much longer than the charged list. Also please remember that mass murders are not known for their honesty and we have to take confessions with a grain of salt.
For months I have been collecting reports of missing women from Washington and Oregon who could be victims of Ridgway. Some of this information was compiled and posted in my earlier write ups on Ridgway, but my research has slowly been growing. Today, I want to profile Ridgway’s unknown Jane D

YouTube has some excerpts from on (I don't know how many recorded interviews he has done...??) but I can't seem to find the full thing. If anyone can tell me where to find any full interviews with him i would be much appreciative

Here is a report about the Green River Killer:
I am doing a project for school and need to identify his personality traits. I have done my research but haven't come across anything particularly useful. What are your thoughts? Please add an example or some detail to back it up.
Hi, I am currently reading Ann Rule's Green River, Running Red. In this book, she mentions Ridgway's son as being called "Chad". Did she do this to hide his identity, or is this a mistake on her part? I couldn't find anything about him being named Chad on the Internet.
Hello everyone. A few months ago, I posted an extensive write up on the DeOrr Kunz case and later the Asha Degree case with several other missing people’s cases sprinkled in between, which many readers seemed to enjoy. Those can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/fcmvmz/extensive_summary_regarding_the_disappearance_of/
Today, I wanted to do a similar long form write up but this time, I wanted to switch gears and talk about Ridgway and his victims.
Terms used
The scene- A term used by Bundy and LE to describe the people with high risk lifestyles those who are homeless, sex workers, exotic dancers, drug users, hitchhikers, and others who are down and out
The Strip- An area of Pacific Highway South near the airport in extreme south Seattle (no longer Seattle) known for the scene. Most GRK victims were last seen in this area.
The Avenue- An area of extreme north Seattle along Aurora Avenue North known for the scene. A handful of women disappeared from this area.
Rainier Avenue and Central District- Neighborhoods in south Seattle near the strip. Usually regarded as cheaper places to live. A handful of women disappeared from here.
The camp- An area of downtown Portland known for prostitution
Dating- A term used to literature to refer to soliciting prostitutes. Ridgway used this term as did many sex workers. I use this term below as that is what is described in GRK literature. I don’t use it dull what was happening in these exchanges.
Boyfriend or protector- Many of the women in this case had boyfriends or protectors who were actually pimps. Which is why some of these women had the same “boyfriends.” If the men who were involved were not believed to be pimps, I tried to note that.
Introduction
Living in the Pacific Northwest everyone you meet seems to have had a close encounter with a notorious criminal. I know a woman who Bundy followed on April 17th 1974 in Ellensburg, Washington before he abducted Susan Rancourt. I talked to a barber once who told me he cut Ridgway’s hair and used to watch Constance Naon (one of Ridgway’s victims) take dates to her place across the street in the Rainier area. In college I used to shop at a Safeway store that Bundy worked at. Some days it seems like everyone I talk to has the same stories, close encounters, and bizarr

Carol Ann Christensen was the 22-year-old single mother of a five-year-old girl. She lived with her daughter in a mobile home park near the SeaTac strip. Carol Ann was happy because she had finally landed a new job after a few months of searching. She got a job as a waitress at a bar and grill only three blocks from her house. Because she had no car, she was happy to have a job she could walk to. Carol dropped off her daughter with her parents. She disappeared after her shift walking home on the SeaTac strip. Carol Ann had no none connections to the scene. No criminal record, no addiction, no hitchhiking. Gary Ridgway later confessed that he abducted and killed Carol Ann to confuse investigators.
Carrie Ann Rois who used the street name Silver Champagne came from a broken home full of abuse and negativity. She became a chronic runaway with a criminal record. She ran away, bounced from relative to relative and began working on the Strip even though she was still attending high school. Carrie was musical and played the flute in the marching band. After a few years of estrangement, Carrie reconciled with her mother once her mother left her abusive husband. The mother and daughter spent Christmas ’82 together and her mother told her she loved her no matter what. It was their last Christmas together; Carrie vanished six months later in June 1983.
