Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! This week we continue our dive into Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer. This episode solely covers GRK victims #2-#15, we pick up right where we left off with victim #2, Debra Lynn Bonner. We cover a lot of ground this week and touch on a few of Rigway’s dump sites, including a major site that will be further discussed in next week’s episode; the Star Lake Site. We end the episode in October of 1983 when Kelly Ware is discovered near the SeaTac Airport.
 
This episode contains foul language, graphic discussions about rape, murder, body sites, and decomposition. We also dip our toe into politics at the end. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!
