    Richard Matt worked as a delivery person for William Rickerson, a local fishmonger used by our restaurant, The Shores, on Tonawanda Island, NY. After abducting Rickerson, Matt dismembered and disposed of his body on the island, a place that he knew was remote and isolated from his experience doing deliveries in the area. The FBI conducted their investigations on our property in search of Rickerson’s remains, which eventually led to the discovery of Rickerson’s torso underneath a boat dock on the north end of the island.

    Our restaurant, marina, and surrounding property are available for filming the Showtime series based upon these events. Please feel free to contact us to make arrangements.

    Regards,
