In 2003, Gary Ridgway of Seattle admitted in court to having murdered a record number of women: 48. The murders covered a span of twenty years.
His aim, he said, was to kill as many women he thought to be prostitutes as possible. His guilty plea spared him the death penalty.
Ridgway got his nickname, the Green River Killer, because many of his victims were located near that Seattle area river.
Ridgway is serving life without possibility of parole.
