‘The Green River Killer: Mind of a Monster’ Takes Investigation Discovery Viewers Inside Serial Killer’s Twisted Motives

Investigation Discovery is diving into the twisted mind of Gary Ridgway as footage of the Green River Killer himself and in-depth interviews with the investigators who helped bring him to justice gives insight into the making of a serial killer during The Green River Killer: Mind of a Monster. The Monday, Feb. 17 premiere of the two-hour special will feature Ridgway talking about the discovery of the burial grounds where he would kill anywhere from 49 to more than 90 women between 1982 and 2001 before his capture and conviction.

“They’re my possessions, so I have feelings of only I know where they’re at, it’s my property. I miss ’em and felt like they were taking something of mine that I put there,” Ridgway says in a trailer for the Mind of a Monster special.
