A man known as the “Times Square Killer” – already serving life for murder – admitted five additional cold-case killings Monday in a New York court.
Richard Cottingham, 76, pleaded guilty to one count of murder in the second degree for the 1968 killing of Diane Cusick, and told the court he caused the deaths of four other women decades ago: Mary Beth Heinz, Laverne Moye, Sheila Heiman and Maria Emerita Rosado Nieves. The Nassau County DA agreed not to prosecute for those four deaths as Cottingham will be incarcerated for the rest of his life due to other multi-state murder convictions.
“For more than 50 years these five families waited, hoped and wondered if they would ever find out who killed their loved one,” said Nassau County Assistant District Attorney Jared Rosenblatt, his voice breaking and in tears. Cottingham only spoke to say “yes” in court when he was asked to acknowledge his role in the killings. Cottingham would die in prison, Rosenblatt said.
