It took authorities two decades to catch him. Too bad they "just didn't have the manpower to spare" to find mass murderers such as Ridgway. They sure caught a lot of pot growers in that time, though. Thank God for that! We can all sleep safe knowing those menaces to society are safely behind bars. Yep. Cleaning up society. Making the free world safe from potheads while some sociopath runs around for decades murdering women. Where do they get these law-enforcement and legislative geniuses? When the heck are they going to get their priorities straight? Ginger Warbis Monessen, PA - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
