Known also as "Twitchie Ritchie", Ritchie was a porn-obsessed student at North Port Townsend who worked on the school's yearbooks. He was constantly bullied by the Dragons, Brad and Hunter, who had got him hooked on Adderall and cannabis cut with an additional substance. They humiliated and mocked him, making him do degrading things for his fix. He came to loathe them and, when they were accidentally killed by Brad's girlfriend Maren, was more than happy to help dispose of their bodies. Wishing to keep Maren safe, Ritchie agreed to be the fall guy should their deaths be deemed suspicious, believing that she was yet another victim of the pair.
For a while, the deaths were treated as accidents and he returned to his work. However, once Crystal Palace and the Dead Boy Detectives began investigating their deaths, things began to unravel. Sticking the original plan, he would act as the prime suspect, making deliberately incriminating and homophobic slurs about the pair to throw them off Maren's trail. His interrogation would lead the trio to investigate the suicide of Shelby Kahn, discovering their client's cruel and criminal behaviour.
Realising that they were in trouble, Ritchie called Maren to warn her, with the latter planning to silence Crystal.
Ritchie was arrested after Maren turned herself in to police custody, unable to go through with the lie any longer and not willing to take an innocent life.
