Gary Ridgway murdered at least 49 women across two decades, becoming America's deadliest serial killer. Part Two follows the task force's investigation through 1984, exposing how marginalized victims—sex workers, runaways, pregnant teens—were systematically dismissed while crucial leads were mishandled, a suspect was nearly caught but released, and an anonymous letter from the killer himself was rejected by FBI profiler John Douglas. Ridgway deliberately targeted vulnerable women with limited social connections, including sex workers and homeless individuals, whose disappearances received minimal public attention compared to Ted Bundy's victims.
