Отрывок из книги
When I first met Judith Ridgway, she was still clinging to the hope that her husband, the infamous Green River Killer, was innocent. She struck me as being someone who had endured a lot in her life, and I assumed this was the result of her relationship with Gary, her husband. However, I soon discovered that there was more to her story than that, and the true irony was that the man, known to have murdered more victims than any other serial killer in the United States, was the hero in Judith’s story.
So, this book is more than a biography. It not only provides a picture of Gary Ridgway through Judith’s eyes, but includes interviews, personal documents, and a professional analysis of Gary’s handwriting. By taking this approach, I am able to provide multiple lenses through which to view the Green River Serial Killer.

The incoming caller was Judith’s sister-in-law. Judith quickly ended the call by saying, “I’m busy right now, goodbye.”
Judith then walked toward the front door, still feeling shaky and disoriented. As Judith opened the front door, Detective Peters quickly inserted her body between Judith and the front door, partially blocking Judith from the view of the news reporter who was ringing the doorbell. Apparently, word had gotten out about Gary’s arrest and the first reporter had arrived at the Ridgway home in Auburn. But Judith was still in the dark about why a reporter would be at her home. The detectives had not yet told Judith that Gary was under arrest and that the biggest story in two decades was about to break in Washington.
