BRIGHT LIGHTS, BILLBOARDS & MURDER
Times Square is famed for being a modern mecca for tourists with shops, dazzling lights and neon billboards. But in the 1970s, the five-block district was one of New York City’s most dangerous hotspots for violence, murder and sex crimes.
It was also the hunting ground of notorious murderer Richard Cottingham. Dubbed the ‘Torso Killer’, Cottingham’s crimes have been exposed in a new documentary titled, Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer.
Throughout the episodes, documentarians investigate the lives Cottingham took and the devastated family members left behind.
