He might seem like a nice guy, but the evidence they have found so far sure doesn't look good for him.
He lied about where he was, he was apparently had "handwritten notes regarding the missing child" ( per Kiro), and he was in the vicinity of where she went missing during that time frame. The search turned up some other things (fingernails, hair) that hopefully will bring more answers. I'm sorry, but if you were somewhere buying a Pepsi and found out that night that a girl was missing from the area, in a very small town no less, wouldn't you remember where you were?
If he didn't do it, I hope he has a damn good lawyer and that the hair and fingernails come back with DNA that isn't Lyndsey's.

She lied to the police who were serving the warrant, she told them that he wasn't in her home when he was. Police then smelled drugs, entered, and found him. They were serving a warrant to search his body, not arrest him. They are likely trying to match up markings with some of the photos found.

I've never heard of a restaurant hiring security. Seeing that would be enough to make me leave immediately.
I'm glad that the victim fought back and wasn't hurt worse.

It doesn't look as thought Rebecca's murder is going to be the one that gets him the death penalty. He admitted in 2001 that he "probably" killed her, but claimed to be unsure of the location of her remains. He did, however, claim that he left the remains of an early victim (in addition to Marie Malvar, who was found) in the location where they found Rebecca.
This is going to be considered within the plea agreement.

So you don't have specific cases that you believe he is innocent of?
There is proof of a LOT, trust me. Tell me just one case that he was convicted of without genuine evidence. There isn't one.
But by all means, if you disagree, throw a name out there.

Absolutely. Bundy and Dobson each had their own agendas, and they just happened to play into each other very well. Bundy needed to drum up some sympathy, and Dobson wanted to prove that porn was the downfall of society.
Bundy also had women who swore that he was misunderstood and wonderful. He had them completely snowed as to who he really was, even after he had been convicted.
Now Ridgway has people claiming that he is misunderstood and that they are the ones who REALLY understand him.

He hid the truth from his wife, hid his true self from his brothers, deceived everyone he knew as to who he really was, but you think that whatever he wrote to you is the truth? He has lied his entire life, hid the most horrible secrets that a person can have, but he wouldn't lie to you, right?

I agree with you completely. She must have been running on some serious denial. I'm sure that, in hindsight, she sees a million different things that should have clued her in.
I think that most of us would react as you said, if the cops told us what they did her. I suspect that he wasn't looking for someone who would question him much about that sort of thing, and he married someone who wouldn't challenge him. It is just sad. I feel for her, she is a victim of his as well. I can't imagine the humiliation and feelings of betrayal that she probably deals with daily.

Honestly, I don't think she knew. By all accounts, he treated her well. She had had a history of bad relationships, and Ridgway was good to her. From her viewpoint, he loved garage sales and church and she was happy. He explained away his arrests for solicitation by saying it was a misunderstanding, and heck, a LOT of people were investigated at that time for the Green River murders, so he was able to downplay it all. She wanted (needed, even) to believe him. She apparently wasn't the type of person to question these things very far, and if she had any doubt, she didn't WANT to think about it. She really does seem like a nice enough, and honest, person. This has devastated her, she didn't believe that he was guilty until she was completely unable to be in denial any longer.
