Area Police Grapple with Murder Claims from Suspected Serial Killer

September 27, 2022 by Jeff Lewis

Over the summer, a jailed serial killer, who’s claimed to have killed 100 people, said he was involved in two murders in Rockland County. The so-called “Torso Killer,” 75 year-old Richard Cottingham, claims to have killed a woman in South Nyack in 1970 and a Nanuet high school student in ’74. Rockland Sheriff Lou Falco says there are about a half dozen cold cases in the county, and they’re actively working on a few of them…

Falco says so far, Cottingham’s Nanuet story isn’t holding up, but the South Nyack case seems to be legitimate. Cottingham is also known as the “Times Square Killer.” He has been in a New Jersey State Prison since July 1981, serving a life sentence for multiple murders.
