It was in 1979 that firemen discovered the mutilated bodies of 2 women in a Times Square Motel - decapitated with their hands cut off. It was the beginning of a murder series that baffled New York and New Jersey Police - bizarre and savage.
It ended after 5 murders and several other savage attacks when a a young prostitute escaped after being handcuffed and tortured and pointed the finger at Richard Cottingham ... a middle class man with a wife and 3 children.
He was sentenced to almost 200 years in prison.
