Gary Ridgway
The largest total here, and no edition in print.
- Pleaded guilty to forty-eight counts of aggravated murder on 5 November 2003 — the largest confirmed total on this shelf by a wide margin, more than Bundy, Gacy and Dahmer combined.
None. That is the entire point of this jacket.
He is last. No nickname anyone repeats, no adaptation anyone quotes, no jacket anyone remembers. He killed the most and sold the least.
That inversion is the finding of the whole shelf. If notoriety tracked harm, this jacket would be first and the farmhouse would be nowhere.
The forty-eight women in the Green River case are the least-covered victims of any name in this series, and the reason is a design problem: nobody could make him into a product.
