Victim’s daughter persuaded serial killer to admit slaying 5 other women

Victim’s daughter persuaded serial killer to admit slaying 5 other women Serial killer Richard Cottingham is talking. My grandma was a serial killer’s victim. Richard Cottingham claimed responsible for two more Rockland deaths, adding to his total close to 100 The 75-year-old, who claims he is responsible for close to 100 killings and became known as the "Torso Killer" and the "Times Square Killer" for mainly targeting prostitutes, is talking to victims' families and an author who specializes in serial killers about how he murdered additional women, including at least two in Rockland. Lorraine McGraw, a 26-year-old mother, was killed by Cottingham in 1970, prosecutors say. McGraw's granddaughter, Sonia Ruiz McGraw of Queens, said Cottingham had promised to detail her grandmother's death and how he knew her. But Rockland law enforcement officials say facts do not support his other claim.

Goodarzi was found dead alongside another unidentified woman in a Times Square motel room in 1979. The 22-year-old’s death appeared brutal: she had been beheaded and set on fire and her skull has yet to be found. Despite the horrific crimes he committed, Goodarzi’s daughter Jennifer Weiss has been visiting Cottingham in prison a few times a month since their first meeting, at New Jersey State Prison in 2017. Weiss, whose mother was tortured, beheaded, and burned by the killer, formed an unlikely alliance with Cottingham in an attempt to reveal the truth about his other victims. In fact, she’s visited him dozens of times now and thinks of him “like a father.” As many daughters do with their boomer relatives, she helps him figure out how to use his iPad. Goodarzi was working as a sex worker when she was killed. Her family had fled Iran when she was a young child and Weiss believes those traumatic experiences influenced her to make poor decisions in life. Weiss says her friendship with Cottingham has already helped bring some resolution to some of his many crimes. “The magnitude of what he did is unfathomable,” said Weiss. “But I became friends with Richard for my mother’s sake and for my quest. “I’m doing this for the mothers who lost their daughters and my own mother. And for these girls that their lives were ended one night or day by Richard playing God,” said Weiss. “I’m not going to rest easy until we figure out who they were. So that’s why I do what I do.” Another victim’s granddaughter, Sonia Ruiz McGraw, 38, of Queens, said Cottingham promised to detail her grandmother’s death and how he knew her. Cottingham murdered Lorraine McGraw, a 26-year-old mother, on March 1, 1970, and then dumped her beaten body in South Nyack. Lorraine McGraw’s granddaughter, Sonia, said she has developed a trusting relationship with Cottingham through emails and phone calls exchanged with the killer for nearly two years. “I want him to be responsible for his actions,” Sonia Ruiz McGraw said of Cottingham. “My grandmother didn’t deserve to die… What he did to my grandmother has not only affected her daughter, but also her granddaughter.” Cottingham told Rolling Stone magazine that he started killing people as a teenager in New Jersey. “For a long time now I have been trying to understand the darkness that enveloped my soul during my youth,” Cottingham told Rolling Stone. “Remorse back then wasn’t part of my thought process. When the sun went down, and the moon came up, the animal form that is in all of us came out and controlled my actions.” Vwegba Blogging World, bring you serial killer story, serial killers facts, murder, true crime, true crimecommunity, horror, truecrime addict, crime , tedbundy , homicide ,halloween, killer, rodneyalcala, murder on my mind, ,history ,netflixandchill ,deadlymen ,crimewatchdaily ,murderisthenewblack ,historic ,fearthyneighbor ,netflixandcrime ,crime memes ,dark ,murderer ,horrormovies ,insane ,history and many.
