Murder Shelf Book Club Podcast
In Special Episode 169: Jill welcomes investigative journalist Maria DiLorenzo, the author of the new book Confessions of the Green River Killer: A True Story of Manipulation, Madness, and a Search for Justice. Maria DiLorenzo reached out to Gary Ridgway, a serial killer, who pleaded guilty to the murders of 49 women, to gather information about possible unidentified victims. Despite his typical reluctance to communicate with the media, Ridgway engaged in extensive conversations with DiLorenzo, resulting in hundreds of phone calls over several years. While DiLorenzo focused on uncovering investigative leads, these interactions became a complex psychological ordeal. Ridgway discussed his past actions, motivation, and philosophy on relationships- an eye-opener- during their conversations. The resulting true-crime narrative chronicles this long-term interaction and explores the personal impact of maintaining contact with a psychopathic serial killer on the author. Do not miss this intense conversation about one of America's worst serial murderers, his psyche, and where the investigation stands now. Thinking about going to Crimecon 2027?
