Some sources list at least six other suspected victims of Gary Ridgway. This list is on Wikipedia. Only one of these persons has actually been discovered. Although there are 49 confirmed victims, I have heard the total may be around 70. Gary Ridgway Green River Killer-Wikipedia Page

Ridgway's hold is likely to ensure he returns to Walla Walla once local authorities are done with him. However, the reason behind Ridgway's sudden move remains unknown.

On Monday, the King County Sheriff's Office said it is continuing to actively investigate cases that are potentially related to Ridgway. Apart from a statement, no other details were given.

This means that prosecutors in Oregon COULD choose to pursue the death penalty now

They wont bother pursuing death for a 75 year old man imo. Statistically speaking hes already at the end of his life span.

Oregons last execution was in the 1960s

Maybe, but I'd at least expect a statement that they've closed Angela's murder case and are confident Ridgway was responsible if this is why they're moving him around.
