SEATTLE – Authorities hope a facial reconstruction of a girl who was slain by a Seattle-area serial killer will help identify the victim.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children created the reconstruction of the girl, who was one of Gary Ridgway’s victims. Ridgway, the Green River Killer, was convicted in 2003 of killing 49 women, but he said he likely committed more than 71 murders. He is serving a sentence of life without parole.
Ridgway admitted killing the girl, estimated to be between 14 and 18, but said he didn’t know her.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children arranged chemical isotope testing on the Jane Doe’s teeth and bone samples through the Smithsonian.
