Gary Ridgway Research Paper

312 Words2 Pages

Gary Ridgway was born on November 30, 1949 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was raised in the McMicken Heights neighborhood of SeaTac, Washington, which was known to have a large population of prostitutes and runaways girls (Harthorne, 2013). Ridgway was recognized to be an awfully shy and quiet boy. Some would say he was in the shadows of his siblings. He had a hard upbringing, which people believe to have caused him to start these appalling killings. He often wet the bed throughout his teenage years, where his mother was known to bathe him, and he admitted this aroused him since his mother would play closer attention to the genital area (Levi- Minzi). His mother was known for dressing provocatively, which was not common back then (Levi- Minzi).
