Wendy Stephens, finally identified as the youngest victim of the Green River Killer, in an undated photo.
For more than three and a half decades, she was known as “Bones 10” – the skeletal remains of a young female recovered in 1984 from a swamp behind a baseball field near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Nineteen years later, she received an additional moniker in charging documents – “Jane Doe B10” – after the man unmasked as the Green River Killer admitted he’d killed her and dumped her body before eventually pleading guilty to the murders of 49 women and girls. But other than knowing she was one of Gary Ridgway’s victims, investigators never knew her true identity.
