A convicted serial killer has pleaded guilty to murdering a dance teacher in 1968 outside a Long Island mall and admitted to killing four other women in the early 1970s.

Cottingham also admitted to the deaths of four other women -- Mary Beth Heinz, Laverne Moye, Sheila Heiman and Maria Emerita Rosado Nieves -- but won’t be prosecuted for their deaths since he’s already spending the rest of his life in prison because of prior murder convictions in New York and New Jersey, according to Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly.

Richard Cottingham makes a remote appearance at a courtroom in Mineola, N.Y., Dec. 5, 2022. The serial murderer known as the"Torso Killer" admitted Monday to killing a 23-year-old woman outside a Long Island shopping mall in 1968 and four other women decades ago."Serial killer Richard Cottingham has caused irreparable harm to so many people and so many families," Donnelly said.

Cusick’s parents discovered her body in the backseat of her car in the Green Acres Mall parking lot after growing concerned about why she hadn’t returned home after leaving earlier in the evening of Feb. 15, 1968, to buy shoes, according to Donnelly. Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly holds a photo of Diane Cusick during an interview with The Associated Press, June 22, 2022, in Mineola, N.Y. More than 50 years after a woman was found dead in her car at a mall on Long Island, authorities prosecutors are expected to announce that DNA evidence has linked the slaying to Richard Cottingham, a serial killer who has been connected to 11 murders in New York and New Jersey between 1965 and 1980.
