Adolf Dassler saw an opportunity in the late 19th century to create a shoe that would fit the needs of athletes. With only one shoe available at the time for all activities, his innovation was highly successful. In a tale as old as time, Adolf’s brother Rudolf joined ship to get in on his brother’s wealth and success in the now fully formed Adidas company. After a falling out, the brothers moved across the river from each other and Rudolf created yet another athletic company you may have heard of- Puma. Over the years the companies competed for popularity, endorsing athletes, but the two brothers never reconciled prior to their deaths.

In the 70s, New York City and New Jersey were terrorized by a sadistic killer targeting prostitutes. Richard Cottingham would later be known as The Torso Killer and the Times Square Ripper after each victim was found to be severely mutilated. While just 9 murders have been conclusively linked to Cottingham, he claims to have killed 85 women over an estimated 12 years. Cottingham is still alive to this day but the identities of his victims may never be known.
