Attention all would be serial killers--sounds like the state of Washington is the place to be.

"In exchange for sparing his life, Ridgway was willing to accept responsibility for most of the homicides on the list and provide information to investigators that would enable them to resolve the other cases and locate the remains of the missing victims."

I think this must have been the deal maker for them. This disgusting man thought the women he killed were just flotsam & jetsam, but they weren't. Ridgway may ultimately serve a "life-term" comprable to Dahmer's, not so long at all.

I think these type of folks are better kept preserved so that one might study them and try to prevent future ones. Just an idea, but finding out how they became such monsters could be helpful for future generations.
