Richard Cottingham is a serial killer and rapist who murdered at least eighteen young women and girls in New York and NewJersey between 1967 and 1980. He was nicknamed the New York Ripper, the Torso Killer and the Times Square Killer.
Cottingham's confirmed killings resulted in nine convictions anda further eight confessions under non-prosecution agreements, leading to him serving multiple life sentences in New Jersey prisons. In 2009, decades after his first five murder convictions, Cottingham told a journalist that he had committed atleast 80 to 100 "perfect murders" of women in various regions of the United States.
