show more- Modus Operandi: Both Ridgway and Heuermann targeted vulnerable women, particularly sex workers, as their primary victims. This choice of victim reflects a pattern of preying on those who might be less likely to be immediately missed or reported.
- Location of Crimes: Ridgway operated in the Seattle and King County area of Washington, while Heuermann's suspected crimes took place on Long Island, New York. Both areas provided a certain degree of anonymity and opportunity to dispose of bodies in remote or less trafficked areas.
- Duration and Secrecy: Ridgway's killings spanned several decades (1980s to early 2000s), and he managed to evade capture for a long time. Similarly, the Gilgo Beach murders remained unsolved for years before Heuermann became a suspect, indicating a prolonged period of eluding law enforcement.
- Normal Appearance and Lifestyle: Both men maintained outwardly normal lives that masked their alleged criminal activities. Ridgway was a married man with a steady job as a truck painter, while Heuermann is described as an architect living a seemingly typical suburban life.
- Investigation and Capture: Advances in forensic technology played a crucial role in their eventual capture. Ridgway was apprehended after DNA evidence linked him to the murders, while Heuermann's connection to the crimes also involved significant forensic evidence, including DNA.
- Psychological Traits: Both individuals exhibited traits often associated with serial killers, such as a lack of empathy, ability to compartmentalize their lives, and an apparent ability to blend into society despite their heinous activities.
