Most prolific killer in US history!

Revisado: 02-14-22

This guy was responsible for a worse trail of death than anyone...Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, etc. Those guys were all terrible, but this guy is arguably worse... especially as far as staying hidden for so long, and the sheer numbers attributed to him.

This book covers the discovery of every victim attributed to Gary Ridgeway, who liked to murder prostitutes (mostly) by manually strangling them or using clothing like socks, pants, etc. He was also a rapist and necrophiliac (no surprise there.)

Unlike some other killers who perhaps inflated their numbers for notoriety during confessions, this SOB really did everything he was convicted of, and almost certainly more. 50+ women and girls died at his hands, and he truly was a monster. Henry Lee Lucas lied and acted like a bigger monster, Israel Keyes did as well, but quiet little Ridgeway didn't have to embellish anything to make history. 100% real monster.

As you listen to the book, you will find yourself rooting against him, sharing in the frustration felt by his community so many years ago. You'll root for (and sympathize with) those tasked with finding him. They had to create an entire task force to deal with the carnage he alone was commiting.

Any fans of true crime, and behavioral science will be captivated.

The police were so desperate to find him, they even interviewed Ted Bundy for his assessment on the killings, which is saying a lot, because he was an evil bastard himself.

I consider this to be 1 of the top 5 true crime books about serial killers, it's up there with "A Stranger Beside Me," as good or better than "Helter Skelter," and just as insane as "The Night Stalker."

Warning: this book is long, but honestly so was his reign of terror.

Creepy, Violent, Captivating!

Revisado: 02-10-22

I listened to this entire thing in two sessions, while off work.

The performance of the narrator really sells this one, he actually does a good impression of Richard K as I've heard him in interviews over the years. When he speaks as "the Iceman" he is very soft spoken, creepy and ominous...great job!!

I feel like some people who are really into true crime are only interested in serial killers who have a sexual motivation, but Richard was just a hitman. He never was motivated by sex, and was seemingly happily married. He was, however, angry and methodical, and in some instances he killed people just for experimental purposes.

very dark, very interesting, give it a try!

Best Podcast Ever

Revisado: 09-20-15

These 3 are hilarious enough to listen to repeatedly....great stress relief, or mood enhancement tool. Karl Pilkington is an idiot, and the premise is that Ricky & Steve just harass & confuse him & record the results. Brilliant.

This guy is brilliant. I highly recommend his project "Cosmos" which I believe he recreated with Seth MacFarland.
