In Dec. 2023, a victim of the Green River Killer — born Gary Ridgway — was identified as Lori Anne Razpotnik using modern DNA testing technology. Razopotnik was 15 years old when she disappeared in 1982, and before her remains were identified, she was referred to as “Bones 17.”
In 2003, Ridgway pleaded guilty to 49 counts of murder in the 1980s near Seattle. Some of Ridgway’s victim’s remains were found near the banks of the Green River in that area. Ridgway’s last murder happened around 1998, and once in custody, Ridgway said he lost count of how many women he killed, but the number could be as high as 70, he said. Those close to the case put that number closer to 90.
Furthermore, the remains of three missing women thought to have been killed by Ridgway were never found: those of 16-year-old Kassee Ann Lee, who disappeared in 1982, as well as 18-year-old Kelly Kay McGinnis and 19-year-old Patricia Ann Osborn, both of whom disappeared in 1983.
Meanwhile, three more women — Linda L. Jackson, also known as WyLynda L. Wells; a woman known only as Michelle; and a woman known as Angie — are missing and thought to be Ridgway murder victims, according to Kingcounty.gov.
