Richard Francis Cottingham is an American criminal convicted of multiple murders and sexual assaults committed in the 1970s and 1980s. Known in the media as the “Torso Killer” and “Times Square Ripper,” his convictions include murders involving mutilation and dismemberment, resulting in several life sentences in New Jersey prisons. Over the course of investigations and plea agreements, Cottingham made numerous additional confessions, some not prosecuted, and later claimed to have committed dozens of other offenses, a claim that has been part of debates surrounding his case. With a relatively stable family and professional background, Cottingham worked for many years as a computer operator for insurance companies and maintained a family life that contrasted with his criminal behavior. Biographical accounts and investigations note episodes from his childhood and an early accident that may have caused brain injury—hypotheses raised in attempts to contextualize his life. His arrest in 1980 followed an attempted murder that exposed a pattern of abductions, torture, and abuse of women, providing evidence that linked Cottingham to multiple earlier crimes. The case attracted wide public attention and fed discussions about serial killer profiling, investigative failures at the time, and the impact on victims and their families.
