In Part 3- Dr. Drane explores The Green River Killer along Psychopathic vs. Sociopathic criteria. Also, we finally answer the question: Is Gary Ridgeway a sexual sadist?
Today, in the spirit of all things unknown, I am going to be exploring the Sexual Sadism of Gary Ridgeway aka The Green River Killer.
I recently had the coolest experience of being able to participate in a documentary on Gary Ridgeway that will be released soon on Tubi.

In preparation for this documentary, I discovered multiple experts who classified Ridgeway as a sexual sadist, and I myself classified him as one on the documentary as well.
Why do experts commonly believe that The Green River Killer was a sexual sadist, you ask? Why, it’s because he strangled them to death after having sex with them.
Sexual sadism is when you get sexual thrill from the prolonged torture and the enjoyment of watching your victim suffer. Compared to other sexual sadists, Ridgeway finished his victims rather quickly, and did not take pleasure in prolonging their deaths or suffering, nor did he take the time to revel in the act of killing them. Ridgeway simply strangled them after sex. Is that really sexual sadism?
To answer this question, my wonderful stalkers, let’s dive into the Ridgeway case. I will recap the history of the Green River Killer, and then consider the criteria for sexual sadism to see if it lines up with Gary Rigeway. And of course, I want to hear your thoughts too!
