Cassaro Winery True Crime and Wine: The Times Square Killer

Join John Matthews, owner of Cassaro Winery, and highly decorated 40-year law enforcement veteran, for a journey into the story of Richard Cottingham, the Times Square Killer. Cottingham was convicted of 18 murders, not prosecuted for over a dozen others and said he committed 80 “perfect” murders but new DNA evidence and cold case reviews may push that number over 100. During his killing spree in New York and New Jersey his crimes were magnified by the torture and pain he inflicted on his victims.
