Green River Killer’s “Newest” Victim?

Police say that the human skull found on Auburn’s West Hill this week belongs to a young woman who disappeared in1982.  That places her disappearance and death at the height of Gary Ridgeway’s Green River Killings.   After Ridgeway’s capture in 2001, he cut a deal with the King County Prosecutor to avoid the death penalty.  In that deal, he was to admit all of his killings, disclose all of his victims, and help police locate his victims’ remains.  He did not identify Rebecca “Becky” Marrero, whose remains were discovered, as one of his victims.  If her death can be tied to Ridgeway, and if he can be convicted in court for her murder, he could face the death penalty.

Ridgeway escaped Death Row once.  If he can be convicted of this death, he should pay the ultimate price.  If he killed this woman, Gary Ridgeway broke his deal with the Prosecutor’s office, and is eligible for the death penalty.  He committed the most heinous of crimes to at least 48 women, and probably many more.  He needs to pay the ultimate price.  He is alive.  His victims are not.  That imbalance needs to be rectified!
