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.
He was better known as the Green River Killer.
But you would never know there was anything sinister about him. Ridgway looked as bland as pablum.

The Green River Killer is one of those disgusting and horrible killing sprees that went on for a decade and scared many people for years.
Since the killer was identified years ago as Gary Ridgway more and more of the facts have come out, a lot having to do with deals that are made to get more information out of the killer about the victims in these cases.
Gary Ridgway was convicted of 48 separate murders before another conviction was added making him the second most prolific serial killer in United States history. Detectives are still working on many cases from decades ago trying to find closure for many families still wondering where their loved ones might have gone.
