My Take
I include Gary Ridgway in this database with reluctance and a clear purpose: documentation, not fascination. The Green River Killer was convicted of murdering forty-nine women between 1982 and 1998, and what unsettles me most is how ordinary he appeared, a steady worker, a neighbor, a face nobody remembered. True-crime culture too often turns men like him into dark celebrities, and I refuse to play along. If this entry has any value, it is as a reminder that evil rarely announces itself, and that the names worth remembering belong to the victims, not to the man who took their lives.
