Green River suspect admits killing as recently as 1998 (40+ murders!)
In a deal that would spare his life, Gary L. Ridgway plans to plead guilty next week to more than 40 murders in the Green River serial-killings case, including two slayings that occurred in 1990 and 1998 and had not been attributed to the Green River serial killer, according to a source close to the investigation.

The additional killings represent a stunning development in a case that had been officially limited to a series of 49 deaths between July 1982 and February 1984.

One of the new victims is a woman whose death was previously deemed accidental.

Ridgway, 54, a truck painter from Auburn, was arrested in November 2001 based on DNA evidence. He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in seven of the Green River slayings. He faced the death penalty if convicted in those cases.

1. I'm glad he's pleading guilty
It will save the county a lot of money, and frankly, he's not worth a cent. I was in high school when they found so many of the women's bodies, and at the time it seemed so soon after Ted Bundy, it was absolutely frightening and horrible, to put it mildly. This guy makes me want to believe in a hell, very badly.
