I’m proud to say that I was a juror on the Vaultz case and that it only took us about 3 hours to deliberate to find him guilty. I also attended the sentencing. He received two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole for both of the victims.
It must have been traumatizing to be on the jury of someone like him, having to listen to the horrors he inflicted and looking at the evidence... Thank you.
He took the stand for three days straight, showed no sign of remorse and was a terrible liar. His testimony about Janna Rowe in his 1988 trial did not match up with this trial. Also, he had her pendant with her name engraved on it in his mother’s jewelry box! The evidence was overwhelming and DNA does not lie.
Yes!! I was just going to comment about that! It’s almost like a joke and then hugging all over him..very bizarre. He killed your mom for Heaven’s sake!
I know… That was so disturbing. I can only hope she’s pretending to befriend him, putting aside her hatred and disgust until he confesses where her mum’s skull is. I really hope he tells her and they find it.
You’re still amazing, girl. Best program for solved and unsolved crime and I binge watch you all of the time. Especially when I’m in the hospital for my infusions. You make them easier to take. Thank you!!
Dennis Rader was also a "family man." A former coworker's mother-in-law caught Rader trying to let their dog out of her yard. He was a dog catcher for years. Many people wonder if he tortured dogs and cats during his cooling off period.
OMG Southern Girl. I just can't. I don't know how you are able to tell some of these stories without getting sick to your stomach. I'm sure you do at times. You do a wonderful job and have the perfect voice and personality for this kind of narrating. I want to see all the bad guys a.k.a. monsters caught. Take care everyone.
Left on a trash pile.😥 In the 80s, when I was 16, I was hitchhiking & James Mitchel (Mike) DeBardeleben picked me up in Norfolk, Virginia. I told him I was going to see my boyfriend. He had automatic door locks (rare in the 80s except for cop cars) & a cb radio in his car. He said he was an undercover cop which even as a kid, I knew that was bull 💩 because cops don't tell you they're undercover, so I was immediately ill at ease. He kept touching my legs asking if my boyfriend does that & asked me why I wasn't in school. I felt frightened AF & wanted to get the hell out of the car, but the lock covers were stripped off of the locks & I would've needed needle nose pliers to unlock the door. Fortunately there was a 2 vehicle accident blocking our entrance to a bridge & cops were at the scene. He popped the locks & told me, "Today's your lucky day." The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Years later as a young Air Force wife & mother stationed overseas, I saw him featured on America's Most Wanted on the Armed Forces Network (AFN, a military tv channel). Initially he was only wanted for counterfeiting & was nicknamed 'The Mall Passer' because he would go to shopping centers passing his counterfeit bills mostly 20s on socks, candy & other small items to get change in real bills. In a storage unit in Virginia, they found a counterfeiting machine/paraphernalia & recordings of women being tortured & murdered. They also found women's clothing, jewelry & various forms of id. Some of these women were found alive & they shared their horror stories with law enforcement as did I after he was captured. He was passing off counterfeit bills to fund his sexual deviance. I'm relieved that he's dead & that I was unscathed. After his arrest for counterfeiting, the Secret Service found evidence linking him to much more serious sex crimes. He was sentenced to 375 years in federal prison. Although he was never brought to trial for murder, he was the principal suspect in two homicides and he remains a suspect in several others. He died of pneumonia at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina, in early 2011. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_DeBardeleben
These murderers are monsters, with many more victims out there yet to be found. Horrendous how casual taking a life is to them.🤢🤢🤢 Thank you for your videos, you are giving these the victims recognition they haven't had.🌸🌸
Taking life is horrible. Still what scares me more are monsters like Cottingham. He enjoyed torturing his victims for days, then killing them. The fear and pain those women were subjected to......what can I say.
The most frightening & disturbing thing about these cases is that there is no connection between the victim & the killer. They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time & were spotted by someone who felt like playing God. Thank you for telling these stories so people don't forget the victims.
Great job researching & presenting these solved cold cases. It eases my anxiety to know more & more of these P.O.S.s are now getting identified & brought to Justice 😊
My prayers and thoughts are with the families of the victims 🙏 😢 I felt so sorry for these poor people. Your narrative is very informative and very kind.
She is helping the family of his victims by trying to find out information. She also wants to lay her mother to rest. I think she is incredibly brave and strong to be anywhere near that creep.
@@delishme2 💯% agree with u. But seems like theses other ppl DON'T get that and there brain's only work so far and DON'T comprehend what she's trying to do
@@deanmullins695 I can understand that people wouldn't want to be anywhere near him. I'm sure she has a long-term goal and is prepared to put her personal preferences aside. She isn't wierd, she is human, and is aware more than most what he did, he robbed her of a relationship with her mother. I think she is strong AF and noble. She is doing what most wouldn't be able to do. I'm aware as a psychopath, he is trying his best to manipulate her for his own benefit, but I also assume she is in full knowledge of that, along with who and what he is and is capable of, and is using her womanly wiles and playing the long game, hoping she can bring closure for not only herself but potentially others as well. I hope he gives her what she came for, but many of them go to their death not giving up the information families seek. She may be the exception. Hoping for her. 🤞🤞
I’ll never ever understand why there are monsters out here, just cutting down innocent people with families that LOVE them. Do we raise our children and put all that EFFORT into everything just to bury them? Just to suffer forever? The heartbreak 💔 is devastating! ✨rip 👼🏼 amazing✨ ❤✨ladies ✨❤
The reason why I love your RUclips channel and post is your voice and how you tell a story it's just so refreshing and wonderful I can't wait till you post a new story I always look for it thank you! You are really the best storyteller ever!
Wait how the Hell can she befriend her mothers Killer? No matter what she is trying to find out! To take pictures with him and then a picture that depicts her Strangling him, is so disrespectful to me! I'm sorry I feel like that is a little over board!. I for one know I could never befriend my mother's murderer! Absolutely ridiculous!
yeaaaa 😦..that just blew my mind!!honestly!! Im like what the hell is going on here??? is this lady seriously friends with this creep..then that means shes also a creep if this is for real! 😠 totally absurd!
@@shilohappolus823I agree a 💯% I mean come on? Would I want the info from him yes, would I befriend him for years upon years and take pictures with him and hug him in them and depict a picture of me Strangling him No!! Like he did to my mother, Hell No!! Ya know wha? I'd strangling him alright but for real!
I dnt know says there were 2 replies to my Comment but I only saw one Lol Guess RUclips didn't like that one, Lol It was probably some weirdo talking crqp at how I am so wrong and I dnt know what I am saying blah blah so thanks RUclips!
I really love how because of DNA technology, these creeps can run but they can no longer hide. Even though they had to wait decades to catch them, at least these families have answers.
I usually get your notifications while driving back from taking my kids to school so I try to get home a little quicker on those days bc I know SG's videos are amazing.
Your vids are the best! Thanks for all the details and photos… so many others put up 20 mins of stock photos which is super annoying- I feel like by learning abt the crimes were honoring the victims; also, seeing them in happier times shows they’re a real person- not just a story, it acknowledges that their family photos now have a person missing, and hearing how they were taken as well as learning the deplorable things they went through helps us understand the criminal mind better and hopefully reduce the chances of something happening to us, or anyone… the more you know, the more you can do… and it ensures that they didn’t die in vain. It’s also helps ensure fewer criminals are able to be successful in manipulating, abusing, and killing ppl/women and hurt or traumatize their family/loved ones in the meantime. Hearing their stories AS WELL AS how the criminals were caught and what the investigation did right or wrong in the past, all serves to honor their memory and further their legacy. These are my favorite vids bc they feel like an uplifting ending to yrs of heartbreak and pain. So happy we’re resolving all these cold cases, and it feels right to celebrate that happening by watching these vids and hearing their names as well as the fact they’ve received one aspect of justice, it only marks the beginning of the justice/healing process, but it’s the most important part of the equation bc accountability and truth or integral to the process. Bless these beautiful angel’s souls, and may PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM, o Lord…❤️ Thanks for all your time, effort & hard work providing content that’s really important & helpful for numerous reasons. But ur giving these women back their names and truth and I appythat most of all❤️
How could she befriend him (Cottingham).... goodness. I know she likely thought it was a tactic to get him to talk but still... there HAS to be other ways! I just couldn't fathom keeping a smile on my face or joking with a killer who killed my loved one like that but hey.... everyone is different.
Thanks for the presentation.. Good as usual.. Cottingham was arrested before all these murders and they let him out. I blame psychologist and Parole boards just as much as Cottingham
I literally logged into my 2nd google account just to subscribe to this channel twice! I love these videos. They’re just as good if not better than any true crime show. I binge watch these over and over again!
Well..... Good Morning Southern Girl !!of course another sad but Great show !! I just can't understand why these S,O.B."s aint got any thing else better to do than to do what they did to this harmless Ladies !!
Wow ! I thought i had heard of all the serial killers in US but this is 1st to hear of cottingham. So very glad he was finally caught - rip to all of his poor victims
That was the best solved case video, thus far. Karma is a b*tch. Every last one of them never saw this coming, especially the one who served 15 years out of his 20 and here goes a body from years ago. I love it!
I’m pretty new to the channel but I love it! Keep up the great videos coming, thank for sharing these victims stories! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 to all family and friends in these cases.
First time I had to stop watching your video - during the last case. That psychotic stare of that creep will give me nightmares. When I think of all these poor victims of any murderer that those monsters were the last thing they see before closing their eyes forever…It’s also hard to believe how many evil and crazy people roam the streets looking for victims.
I can only imagine the guilt the boyfriend carries for not waiting until she got onto the bus. I could be wrong, but I thought I remembered hearing that he saw the bus coming down the street. Of course there was no way of knowing that he would live to regret such an innocent decision. Blowing curfew is nothing compared to your girlfriend's murder. I feel for him not only because he was grieving her loss, but also because many thought he was guilty.
How many people don't know this but Ariel Castro that kidnapped the three girls in Cleveland he also stopped and asked me for a ride leaving the same Burger King that Amanda Berry was working at in 110th and Lorain I work there 2 years after she did and he was parole in the streets and I remember him asking me for a ride but I declined cuz I was close to where I lived I didn't realize anything until that case broke and honestly I dropped my knees and cried I couldn't believe it
Hi Southern Girl... I'm really enjoying your videos, as are my friends that I pointed this way. Would you mind either titling or numbering some of your series that might have the same title? I'm definitely NOT too lazy to send links and share, but myself and a lot of people in my business network spend a LOT of time on the road and in the sky, but I personally do not text and drive. So, when I say, "Check out Southern Girl's 5 Solved True Crime stories" and you might have one (or many), it is hard to describe just talking on the phone, or when we are flying together and listening to things we are fans of. No biggie! Thanks for your work and research! Love the accent as well.. ;). I'm from Texas.. (Yeah, I know! Not the same! :p ) BTW, I would be a patreon already "but" I need to finish some medical priorities and get see my daughter through college graduation this year. After that... I'm happy to help. I was a big board owner and admin for over 2 decades. I put in the time before there was yt or patreon... I almost tanked with all that went into it, and then people started donating... Nobody really knows all the work that goes on behind the scenes.. So, much appreciated!
@@SouthernGirlCrimeStories I'm sorry, I didn't get back soon enough to recall.. . I've been busy.. Probably not as busy as you though! I'm following by way of your Ep's now.. I'd have to search for what I was watching.. My apologies.. I was just getting tripped up trying to watch things in order (time, date, linear, whatever anyone wants to call it). Maybe it was just on my end = me.
I hope he is suffering! I hope the nurses know what he did and won’t let have access to his pain meds . I want him in completely in pain every gotdamn day
Not sure if I would be willing to befriend a killer, who killed my own mother and countless others. That was cringeworthy to see those images of one of the victims daughter posing with the Times Square killer.
I’ve never commented before but thank you for doing what you do! Even when the case you cover has shown up in another channel you always have interesting commentary or an angle that someone else thought unimportant. For some reason, one of today’s cases sparked a thought. With so many being resolved thanks to advances in DNA & genetic genealogy, cases are being “solved”. But closed without full resolution because the suspect was executed for a different crime. I’m anti death penalty and have been for years. So it’s interesting (and…nice?) to find another lens to look at it from. So thank you for that too!
I know this might not be other people's opinion: but I feel like when we have caught a killer, the most important thing from there is to find out all the potential victim's & obtaining possible closure for any grieving families. To learn, where undiscovered victims are located, who were their victim's, and any possible details that can be further gather about any individual situations. If it takes having to work alongside the criminal, being willing to help them with things they ask for, just in general focusing mainly on how important it is for the families to find their loved ones over anything else because you already have the criminal behind bars and it's just a waste to let them live our life in prison yet, never utilize the fact you got them to obtain all information possible. It will take specific special professionals who are good at handling this type of being nicely manipulative so they get the information they want, rather than just having a criminal shut down and never reveal crucial information to the professionals. "
It is so sad and awful how many girls and women have died at the hands of monsters that didn't deserve to live. It's just so sad for me to imagine, this women could have lived a beautiful, succesful and long life if it weren't for a monster with no love, empathy or any sort o humanity. inside.
Truly stomach sickening photos, but i understand her motives (hopefully) to "friend" this monster for extracting as much info as possible. Or is she twisted as well?
This p.o.s. Cottingham in more recent pics (@7:00) looks like he'd of been a authentic looking Santa. Instead he chose to hate women, and be a sadistic serial killer. There's a lot of sick & twisted monsters out there!
I’m grateful that DNA is helping to identify the victims in these cold cases. I’m still hoping his second victim in Times Square is identified. It’s horrifying that this young girl teen has gone unidentified for decades because she was a sex worker. Someone must have loved her. Does she have a known grave site? No one deserves anonymity
I’m proud to say that I was a juror on the Vaultz case and that it only took us about 3 hours to deliberate to find him guilty. I also attended the sentencing. He received two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole for both of the victims.
Great job.
It must have been traumatizing to be on the jury of someone like him, having to listen to the horrors he inflicted and looking at the evidence... Thank you.
He took the stand for three days straight, showed no sign of remorse and was a terrible liar. His testimony about Janna Rowe in his 1988 trial did not match up with this trial. Also, he had her pendant with her name engraved on it in his mother’s jewelry box! The evidence was overwhelming and DNA does not lie.
Sure you were
Never getting out anyway no amount of court cases is gonna change that.
The most disturbing images imo are the ones in the first of the vics daughter baing friendly with the killer... shiver
Yes that is very odd & unsettling!
Definitely!!!
Yes!! I was just going to comment about that! It’s almost like a joke and then hugging all over him..very bizarre. He killed your mom for Heaven’s sake!
I know… That was so disturbing. I can only hope she’s pretending to befriend him, putting aside her hatred and disgust until he confesses where her mum’s skull is. I really hope he tells her and they find it.
The picture of her pretending to strangle him is sick, disturbing, disgusting and disrespectful she has issues
You’re still amazing, girl. Best program for solved and unsolved crime and I binge watch you all of the time. Especially when I’m in the hospital for my infusions. You make them easier to take. Thank you!!
Awe thank you! Best of luck to you ❤️
It's so disturbing that someone like Richard Cottingham can lead a seemingly normal life while being such a sadistic bastard
Who said he didn’t beat his wife or kids tho. No way a man like that was sweet kind and loving to his wife and children 🤷🏻♀️
@@candi0826 Not necessarily. Sometimes people lead double lives.
Happens every day tho
Dennis Rader was also a "family man." A former coworker's mother-in-law caught Rader trying to let their dog out of her yard. He was a dog catcher for years. Many people wonder if he tortured dogs and cats during his cooling off period.
SHE BEFRIENDED THE MAN THAT KILLED HER MOTHER?????? WHAT???? 🤦🏾♀️🤬
That takes guts!
OMG Southern Girl. I just can't. I don't know how you are able to tell some of these stories without getting sick to your stomach. I'm sure you do at times. You do a wonderful job and have the perfect voice and personality for this kind of narrating. I want to see all the bad guys a.k.a. monsters caught. Take care everyone.
It is difficult. We live among monsters that’s for sure.
Your awesome. I never miss your episodes and you have the most amazing voice. I love it. God bless from down Under.

Left on a trash pile.😥
In the 80s, when I was 16, I was hitchhiking & James Mitchel (Mike) DeBardeleben picked me up in Norfolk, Virginia. I told him I was going to see my boyfriend. He had automatic door locks (rare in the 80s except for cop cars) & a cb radio in his car. He said he was an undercover cop which even as a kid, I knew that was bull 💩 because cops don't tell you they're undercover, so I was immediately ill at ease. He kept touching my legs asking if my boyfriend does that & asked me why I wasn't in school. I felt frightened AF & wanted to get the hell out of the car, but the lock covers were stripped off of the locks & I would've needed needle nose pliers to unlock the door. Fortunately there was a 2 vehicle accident blocking our entrance to a bridge & cops were at the scene. He popped the locks & told me, "Today's your lucky day." The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Years later as a young Air Force wife & mother stationed overseas, I saw him featured on America's Most Wanted on the Armed Forces Network (AFN, a military tv channel). Initially he was only wanted for counterfeiting & was nicknamed 'The Mall Passer' because he would go to shopping centers passing his counterfeit bills mostly 20s on socks, candy & other small items to get change in real bills. In a storage unit in Virginia, they found a counterfeiting machine/paraphernalia & recordings of women being tortured & murdered. They also found women's clothing, jewelry & various forms of id. Some of these women were found alive & they shared their horror stories with law enforcement as did I after he was captured. He was passing off counterfeit bills to fund his sexual deviance. I'm relieved that he's dead & that I was unscathed.
After his arrest for counterfeiting, the Secret Service found evidence linking him to much more serious sex crimes. He was sentenced to 375 years in federal prison. Although he was never brought to trial for murder, he was the principal suspect in two homicides and he remains a suspect in several others. He died of pneumonia at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina, in early 2011.

True!
That's why they were unsolved for so long. Random violent crime is rare.
And now tax payers get to feed and board these filth for decades in jail instead of using th death penalty in liberal NY.
Led by Satan, you mean.

First time I had to stop watching your video - during the last case. That psychotic stare of that creep will give me nightmares. When I think of all these poor victims of any murderer that those monsters were the last thing they see before closing their eyes forever…It’s also hard to believe how many evil and crazy people roam the streets looking for victims.
I can only imagine the guilt the boyfriend carries for not waiting until she got onto the bus. I could be wrong, but I thought I remembered hearing that he saw the bus coming down the street. Of course there was no way of knowing that he would live to regret such an innocent decision. Blowing curfew is nothing compared to your girlfriend's murder. I feel for him not only because he was grieving her loss, but also because many thought he was guilty.
Damm that first case hit home. I shop at the green acres mall and newhyde park is my next town over. Wow.
Yikes 😳
To all ppls Past, Present & Future Rest & Bless Your Souls....May the G00D LORD HAVE MERCY on us all🙏🏿
You are the best, Southern Girl
The defense attorney really tried to use the coincidence card.. 🤦🏻♀️
As a soon to be Canadian turned southern girl (GA🍑) who’s also a true crime junkie- I really like your channel! Keep up the great work.
Liked n shared
great job!!
Thank u
Thanks SGCS🌹❤️
I saw the "times square killer" docuseries. It was pretty good
I love when you do solved cases~
They are coming in fast!
I'm hoping we can get an identity of the boy in the box with such advances in DNA 🤞🏻🤞🏻😑
They did!
It's terrifying that there are so many sadistic killers out there.
Ted Bundy DOB: November 24th
Richard Cottingham DOB: November 25th
Diane Cusick DOB: November 26th
Um...... that is a chilling coincidence.
Oh wow I didn’t even catch that!
case number 1 , scary how many missing and murder cases related to this killer ,wonder how many missing victims still not found related to him
Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied.
well said..
I got my ear pierced acret green acres mall back in 1993 when I was 15 it was very different ack then. Very nice
Love to see these monsters caught! They probably think it’s Publisher’s Clearing House knocking on their doors.
Cottingham killed Mary Ann with her love for her friend. RIP dear girl. Rest in Peace all. Peace and Blessings to these families.
That’s so crazy I used to live in Palo Alto and I’d travel that route to Sunnyvale.
How many people don't know this but Ariel Castro that kidnapped the three girls in Cleveland he also stopped and asked me for a ride leaving the same Burger King that Amanda Berry was working at in 110th and Lorain I work there 2 years after she did and he was parole in the streets and I remember him asking me for a ride but I declined cuz I was close to where I lived I didn't realize anything until that case broke and honestly I dropped my knees and cried I couldn't believe it
Victims and Family and Friends ❤❤❤
HELLO EVERYONE HI SG
Richard Cottingham looks like Santa Claus but a demonic version
Or some evil fkin ugly version of a garden gnome
Hi Southern Girl... I'm really enjoying your videos, as are my friends that I pointed this way. Would you mind either titling or numbering some of your series that might have the same title? I'm definitely NOT too lazy to send links and share, but myself and a lot of people in my business network spend a LOT of time on the road and in the sky, but I personally do not text and drive. So, when I say, "Check out Southern Girl's 5 Solved True Crime stories" and you might have one (or many), it is hard to describe just talking on the phone, or when we are flying together and listening to things we are fans of. No biggie! Thanks for your work and research! Love the accent as well.. ;). I'm from Texas.. (Yeah, I know! Not the same! :p ) BTW, I would be a patreon already "but" I need to finish some medical priorities and get see my daughter through college graduation this year. After that... I'm happy to help. I was a big board owner and admin for over 2 decades. I put in the time before there was yt or patreon... I almost tanked with all that went into it, and then people started donating... Nobody really knows all the work that goes on behind the scenes.. So, much appreciated!
Thank you so much! I am starting next week titling my videos and will incorporate this as well. I’ll have to figure out the best way to do it though.
Can you give me an example or do you mean episode numbers?
@@SouthernGirlCrimeStories I'm sorry, I didn't get back soon enough to recall.. . I've been busy.. Probably not as busy as you though! I'm following by way of your Ep's now.. I'd have to search for what I was watching.. My apologies.. I was just getting tripped up trying to watch things in order (time, date, linear, whatever anyone wants to call it). Maybe it was just on my end = me.
10:43 - 11:15. What the actual F?!
SG my fav ❤
OMG 😳
Honestly I could listen to you read anything with that accent 🥰
I hope he is suffering! I hope the nurses know what he did and won’t let have access to his pain meds . I want him in completely in pain every gotdamn day
Not sure if I would be willing to befriend a killer, who killed my own mother and countless others. That was cringeworthy to see those images of one of the victims daughter posing with the Times Square killer.
I’ve never commented before but thank you for doing what you do! Even when the case you cover has shown up in another channel you always have interesting commentary or an angle that someone else thought unimportant.
For some reason, one of today’s cases sparked a thought. With so many being resolved thanks to advances in DNA & genetic genealogy, cases are being “solved”. But closed without full resolution because the suspect was executed for a different crime.
I’m anti death penalty and have been for years. So it’s interesting (and…nice?) to find another lens to look at it from. So thank you for that too!
54 years 😮😩😩🤦🏾♀️
I know this might not be other people's opinion: but I feel like when we have caught a killer, the most important thing from there is to find out all the potential victim's & obtaining possible closure for any grieving families. To learn, where undiscovered victims are located, who were their victim's, and any possible details that can be further gather about any individual situations. If it takes having to work alongside the criminal, being willing to help them with things they ask for, just in general focusing mainly on how important it is for the families to find their loved ones over anything else because you already have the criminal behind bars and it's just a waste to let them live our life in prison yet, never utilize the fact you got them to obtain all information possible. It will take specific special professionals who are good at handling this type of being nicely manipulative so they get the information they want, rather than just having a criminal shut down and never reveal crucial information to the professionals. "
It is so sad and awful how many girls and women have died at the hands of monsters that didn't deserve to live. It's just so sad for me to imagine, this women could have lived a beautiful, succesful and long life if it weren't for a monster with no love, empathy or any sort o humanity. inside.
10:50 what the heck???
(1944) SOLVED MURDER CASE. HOLY COW!! i HOPE HE'S IN JAIL!
Wow 19:35 bet he regrets leaving her 😢
Wtf...like seriously WTF 11:00
she's a tuff NUT? lol argh smh WTF is right
Truly stomach sickening photos, but i understand her motives (hopefully) to "friend" this monster for extracting as much info as possible. Or is she twisted as well?
This p.o.s. Cottingham in more recent pics (@7:00) looks like he'd of been a authentic looking Santa. Instead he chose to hate women, and be a sadistic serial killer.
There's a lot of sick & twisted monsters out there!
Hey chick 💕💕
😍
I’m grateful that DNA is helping to identify the victims in these cold cases.
I’m still hoping his second victim in Times Square is identified. It’s horrifying that this young girl teen has gone unidentified for decades because she was a sex worker. Someone must have loved her.
Does she have a known grave site? No one deserves anonymity
