Richard Cottingham, known as the Torso Killer because he cut the heads and hands off some of his victims, was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for the 1968 Long Island murder of Diane Cusick (23). He claimed to have killed more than 100 women, and although investigators believe he has other victims, they have yet to link him to that many slayings.
