Summary

There is very little information available about Cottingham, particularly in his early years. We know he was born in 1946 to an everyday New York family and led a relatively uneventful life. As the oldest of three siblings, Cottingham seemed to go through the motions. He went to school every day and eventually landed a good job with a well-known insurance company. Nothing about his past life really seems to set him up to be a serial killer.

One of them is deathly afraid of sharks and so I was teasing her about the fact that we chose this drink

But like I think it's overkill now because now I'm just getting one word answers for both of them so.
