Richard Cottingham, 76, dubbed the"Torso Killer," admitted on Monday to five other killings that occurred over 50 years ago.
Cusick, 23, was a dance teacher and mother of one. She was found beaten, raped, and duct-taped in her car in the parking lot that year, two days after Valentine's Day. Cottingham had allegedly pretended to be a security guard or police officer to get Cusick to go with him, something investigators believed was a trend in his homicides.
Prosecutors attributed their work in identifying victims and bringing closure to families to advances in DNA technology, as well as partners at the Nassau County Police Department.
