doesn't the GreenRiver guy look a little like Christian Slater? He sure does on today's CNN photo.

I was reading about how many people he killed and how long it took to catch him. So sad that all those people had to die. Now he is doing a plea deal to save his butt. I guess it will save tax payers lots of money. Won't have to spend on lawyers and appeals.

Yep, he pled guilty to 48 counts of murder to save his sorry behind!

He is one scary guy.

Let's look up all the profilers' predictions about the Green River Killer. How close were they?

Here's a summary of John Douglas' opinion, from Mindhunter. (His famous collapse came during his work on the Green River case.)

"...a physically powerful, inadequate,underemployed white male, comfortable with the river, who felt no removesr for what he was doing...a man on a mission who'd had humiliating experiences with women and was now out to punsih as many as he could...no mental giant...unsophisticated..."

He might still get the death penalty. I heard there's another state involved with at least two murders. I believe they want him next and there are no deals to be made! Hopefully, they'll fry him.

Not physically powerful, I don't think, but the rest looks pretty accurate. But most of that goes without saying. What happy, well employed, remorseful, intelligent, etc person goes around killing people? If you don't have any hang-ups, you have no reason to harm anyone else.

What I'd like to know is what's the deal with this guy's wife. A good portion of the murder's took place in the home, and some were buried right in their yard.

And she never noticed anything weird going on????????????

[Amraann]

The wife is new.... I don't think she was around back when the father of one of the victims went looking for her and found her truck at Gary's house.

On another note....Gary has been a suspect right along.
He was actually one of the first men to be investigated and the second for that matter. During that second investigation police took the swab of his mouth which 10 years later resulted in a DNA match.

So much fo saving taxpayer dollars...
The GreenRiver case was one of the most exspensive cases in US history.
My BIG question is where the hell and what the hell has Gary been up to for 14 years????
The GR killings stopped in 89. Are we to beleive that he just stopped?
Where was he and what was he doing?
IMO the police got a little bit to close with the mouth swab and he changed his MO.
I do not believe he stopped...
Stopping after 12 years does not fit the profile of a serial killer.
Gary was origianlly investigated BEFORE bodies were found.
He was suspected of trying to molest a girl he picked up but due to the fact she fought and the truck crashed into the trees, she lived.......
The police believed she was a prostitute and took his word for it.
She claimed he tried to choke her.
Later she disappeared and is considered one of the GR victims.
Kelly Mc.... something.

I lived in Seattle/ Tacoma in 89 an remember the terror.
But then all of a sudden the task force disbanned???

Well, I think this guy will end up getting good ol' jailyard justice. Meaning I bet he doesn't live more than a year or two in prison. Someone who lost a loved one sometime somewhere will shank him.

Now, Durst, he is a different matter. How the HE77 can a jury find a man who cuts his victim into pieces NOT GUILTY???
