INTRODUCTION: Gary Ridgway (AKA Green River Killer)


All the missing, and/or murdered, women listed in the timeline below may not all be victims of Gary Ridgway, but they were included to give a small idea of the number of woman who went missing around the time the first five bodies were found in the Green River in the summer of 1982. Gary Ridgway never used the Green River to dump bodies again after Wendy Coffield, Debra Bonner, Marcia Chapman, Cynthia Hinds, and Opal Mills were found there, but the name, the Green River killer, stuck.
