#98: Serial-Richard Cottingham, Mysterious-Hexham Heads, and Tom Collins

Episode • Jun 26, 2024 • 48m

This week Jane tells us about the serial killer known as “The Torso Killer” or “Times Square Ripper.” His real name was Richard Cottingham and he committed several murders in New York and New Jersey. He was caught in 1980 but denied responsibility until 2009. In the early 2000s he started being interviewed by an investigator who was able to link him to at least 14 other cold case murders dating back to the 1960s.

Deklan tells us about two brothers who dug up some strange carved artifacts in their backyard. Two strange looking stone heads were discovered by the Robson brothers and brought into their home. Strange things started happening to the family and their neighbors. The heads were given to various scientists for research purposes and they started reporting strange things too.

We also drink the Tom Collins cocktail.
