EP 78 - Green River Killer Part 7

Death By Champagne

Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! This week we bring you the finale in our 7 part series on the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway. We dedicate this entire episode to his arrest in 2001, his confessions after his arrest, and his sentencing hearing in 2003. We also cover the remaining four victims discovered throughout 2003 and later.
This episode contains foul language, graphic discussions about rape, murder, child abuse, and necrophilia. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!
