Hey, we're back with another two parter, and this one is on a man that could turn out to be one of America's most prolific serial killers. Operating in New York and New Jersey throughout the 1970's, this man was originally convicted of 5 murders in 1980, and as of 2023, he has confessed and/or been convicted of 17. It's as if a swine put on pants, worked with computers and preyed on women, it's the Richard Cottingham story!
