If this is true, the statement of Ridgeway in the deal that allowed him to avoid the death penalty in Washington state, will not protect him.
Oregon detectives have released the names of two people, they want to talk. They hope that people can relate Ridgeway in the murder of a girl in Oregon.
"It was a long time. It was an awful lot of time," said Randy Girdner, whose daughter was killed a few decades ago.
But now, Randy and Reta Girdner have answers to some questions. The remains of their daughter, Angela Girdner, were found in the office of Oregon medical examination, where they would get lost almost 25 years ago.
"This is one of the worst things that can happen to the parents ... it is torture is always looking for his daughter," said Randy Girdner.
Girdners now the bones of their daughter, but not her killer. They believe that Green River-Killer, Gary Ridgway, or.
Angela Girdner remains were found in 1985 on his way to Tualitan, Oregon, and near the remains of Denise Bush and Shirley Sherill, who are both victims of Ridgeway.
In 2003, Ridgway admitted killing Bush, Sherill, and 46 others in the case, to avoid the death penalty. He even led the Green River-Killer Task Force in Oregon to the spot where he threw the dice.
But Ridgway had never confessed to killing Angela Girdner. Washington County Det. Mark Ray is convinced Ridgway refused, because a plea bargain only protects him from the death penalty in Washington state. If Angela Girdner died in Oregon, Ridgway could face the death penalty.
"I believe that she died in Oregon," said Mark. "I have not found any evidence that she was ever in Washington."
Mark says one man - Charles William Wakefield, III - may be crucial for binding Ridgway the death penalty in Angel Girdner. Wakefield only 18 when the victim met him in 1983.
"She was friendly, and fell in love at age 15, to learn that the man she fell in love with a pimp," said the mother Reta Girdner.
Investigators say Angela Wakefield pulled Girdner prostitution.
"I can not say why, but I believe he's in this area," said Mark, who is convinced Wakefield will repeat the steps Angel Girdner, and possibly a finger Ridgway as the man who picked her up.
"It seems that all the evidence and all this directly corresponds to what he had done before," said Randy Girdner. "Yes, I'm sure."
Ridgeway attorneys are convinced that he told investigators all he knows that he has no other victims. However, investigators in Oregon insist, looking to fill the gaps that Gary Ridgway can not or will not.
