Born To Kill takes an in-depth look at the cases of some of the most notorious murderers that have shocked the world. From 1967 to 1980, computer programmer Richard Francis Cottingham - a serial sexual murderer who some deemed a sadistic psychopath - brutally slew women from Times Square, New York, and across the way in New Jersey, dismembering some of his victims. Thinking himself smarter than anyone and impervious to capture, he would boast to colleagues of his appetite for prostitutes, S&M clubs and gambling, but none knew how far to believe him or suspected his lethal level of brutality.
