Green River Killer Confesses To 49th Murder
Gary Ridgway, 62, dubbed the Green River Killer for his sick strangling spree targeting young women and girls in the Seattle area during the 1980s, confessed to his 49th murder on Friday.
Miller who is serving 48 life terms in a Washington state prison admitted murdering Rebecca Marrero in 1982, when she was 20 years old as part of a 2003 plea deal that spared him the death penalty.
Marrero's missing person case went cold since she was last seen leaving a motel almost two decades ago, but last December teenagers found her skull in a ravine south of Seattle, Washington.
Mary Marrero, the victim's sister lashed out at Ridgway in court saying, "It makes me sick to my stomach that he beat the system."
She then told the judge, "If I had one thing to ask today, it would be to kill him."
Killer Ridgway's attempts to apologize were stifled when a man in the courtroom yelled, "Shut your mouth" when he began speaking.
Superior Court Judge Mary Roberts sentenced Ridgway to his 49th consecutive life sentence. "I find no compassion," she told Ridgway.
Ridgway was arrested in 2001 and is in solitary confinement.
