 Richard Cottingham, better known as the Torso Killer or the Times Square Killer, admitted to detectives in Long Island that he'd claimed the lives of five women during the late 1960s and early 1970s. But the crazy thing is, he also admitted to claiming as many as 100 people since then. Richard was known to imitate a security guard and he would usually approach his victims in the parking lots of shopping malls, accusing the victim of shoplifting. After he caught them off guard, he would begin his attack. We don't know why Richard suddenly had this change of heart, but many of the victim's families are certainly thankful that he did. Most recently, he admitted to claiming the life of Diane Cusick, a woman who was kidnapped from Green Acres Mall decades ago.
