He was drowning the Pacific Northwest in bodies—and no one could stop him. Desperate and out of leads, investigators turned to the last person anyone wanted in the room: Ted Bundy. In this chilling episode, we dive into the unlikely partnership between one of America's most notorious serial killers and the task force hunting the Green River Killer.
You'll hear how Bundy dissected Gary Ridgway's psychology with unnerving precision, predicted his patterns, and guided detectives toward the truths they didn't want to believe. We explore the early missteps in the investigation, Ridgway's grotesque double life, and the turning point when Bundy's manipulative insights aligned with forensic breakthroughs—leading to the capture of a murderer who may have claimed more victims than Bundy himself.
As the evidence tightens and Ridgway's mask finally cracks, we confront the twisted reality of a killer coached into the light by another monster.
Because sometimes, to catch a predator… you have to listen to one.
