AUBURN, Wash. (AP) — King County sheriff’s deputies say that searchers have found what could be more human remains in the same area where the skull of woman believed to be a Green River Killer victim was last month.
KOMO-TV reports that more than 50 deputies and volunteers were out Saturday carefully searching the steep ravine in Auburn where the skull of Rebecca “Becky” Marrero was found Dec. 21. She had not been seen since 1982 and has long been considered a likely victim of Green River Killer Gary Ridgway.
Deputies say “potential remains” were found and will be analyzed by the county medical examiner.
Ridgway pleaded guilty in 2003 to murdering 48 women starting in the early 1980s. In a deal to spare him the death penalty, he agreed to lead investigators to remains of his victims.
