Gary Ridgway, one of the country’s most notorious serial killers, is reportedly dying in a Washington prison.

Ridgway, known as the Green River Killer, is now 76 years old and is receiving end-of-life care in the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, according to several sources with “knowledge of his condition” who spoke with Washington-based radio station KIRO.

Ridgway terrorized the Seattle area by killing vulnerable girls and women in the 80s and 90s. In 2001, he pleaded guilty to killing 49 women in a successful bid to avoid the death penalty. He maintained he ended the lives of anywhere between 75 and 80 women.

His last known victim was identified in 2024 as 16-year-old Tammy Liles. Part of Liles' remains were found in Tigard, Oregon.
