Antone Charles "Tony" Costa (August 2, 1944 – May 12, 1974) was a Cape Cod, Massachusetts carpenter who achieved notoriety for committing serial murders in and around the town of Truro in 1969.
==1969 murders==
The case gained international attention when district attorney Edmund Dinis, in comments to the media, claimed "The hearts of each girl had been removed from the bodies and were not in the graves…Each body was cut into as many parts as there are joints." Dinis also claimed that there were teeth marks found on the bodies. These claims produced a stream of national and international media outlets into local Provincetown, Massachusetts.〔 The media attention was so great that Kurt Vonnegut (whose daughter Edith had met Costa) compared him to Jack the Ripper in his collection of essays ''Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons''.〔Vonnegut, Kurt (1974). ''Wampeters, Foma and Granfaloons''. Dell Publishing, ISBN 0-385-33381-1.〕 Vonnegut maintained a correspondence with Costa. The author said, "The message of his letters to me was that a person as intent on being virtuous as he could not possibly have hurt a fly. He believed it."〔Vonnegut, Kurt (1981). ''Palm Sunday''. Delacorte Press, ISBN 0-440-06593-3.〕
Costa was suspected of killing seven women: Bonnie Williams, Diane Federoff, Barbara Spaulding, Sydney Monson, Susan Perry, Patricia Walsh, and Mary Anne Wysocki but convicted of killing only two: Walsh and Wysocki. On February 8, 1969, while looking for the bodies of Patricia Walsh and Mary Anne Wysocki, police discovered Susan Perry. Perry had been missing since the previous Labor Day.〔Albright, EJ. ("The Tony Costa Cape Cod murders" ). ''Cape Cod Confidential''. CapeCodToday.com 9 November 2007.〕
Perry's body had been cut into eight pieces. When Wysocki's body was found about a month later, her torso and head had been buried separately. Not long after, Walsh and the rest of Wysocki's bodies were found in a forest clearing that Costa had used for growing marijuana.〔 This "garden" of marijuana plants and the greater case inspired the true crime book ''In His Garden'', by Leo Damore.〔
