Reichert: Transfer Of Ridgway "Disrespectful"

(Seattle, WA)  --  GOP Congressman Dave Reichert of Washington is unhappy with the transfer of serial killer Gary Ridgway from a Washington prison to a high-security prison in Colorado.  Reichert was a King County sheriff's deputy and the lead investigator on the Green River Killer case, in which Ridgway was eventually convicted on 49 counts of murder.  Reichert told KING-5 that Ridgway's transfer from near isolation in Walla Walla to the general population of a Colorado prison is "disrespectful" to the families of the victims and the investigators in the case.  Ridgway began serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole in 2004.
