PROFILE: Gary Ridgway, The Green River Killer Part 2

from Terror Talk - Horror Movies, Psychopaths and Humor · host Shannon & Cathy | Clinical Psychology PhD & Forensic Psychologist

In Part 1 we followed the investigation. Now Shannon and Cathy go somewhere far more unsettling, inside Gary Ridgway's head. What does it actually take to live a double life for nearly two decades? To hold down a job, get married, attend church, and kill without remorse? In Part 2, our two therapists unpack the psychological machinery behind one of the most prolific serial killers in American history.Ridgway's profile wasn't that of a thrill-seeking sadist, it was something arguably more chilling: a methodical, compulsive need to kill driven by psychopathy and paraphilic disorders. Shannon and Cathy dig into the cognitive dissonance that allowed him to rationalize his crimes, the narcissism that ultimately helped investigators break him, and what his case reveals about the darkest intersections of psychology and violence.If Part 1 asked how he wasn't caught sooner. Part 2 asks who he really was.
