His mother doted on him when he was a child and they remained close while he attended college, according to friends. They said he seemed to have everything going for him and a comfortable life a job as a TV stagehand while he pursued a career in music, a backyard pool at his parents house in wealthy Ho-Ho-Kus, even Giants season tickets.
Nicholas Piotti, 24, a onetime lacrosse standout at Ridgewood High School, remained in a psychiatric hospital Tuesday, authorities said, one day after police said he beat and stabbed his mother, 63-year-old Karen, to death in their Ho-Ho-Kus home.
Police found her body inside the familys Timberline Road home with stab wounds and beating trauma early Monday after responding to an aborted 911 call, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said. He said he did not know who made the call and that Karen Piottis husband, James, was not at home at the time of the killing, which happened after midnight Monday.

A Ho-Ho-Kus man charged with stabbing and beating his 63-year-old mother to death in their home overnight remained held at Bergen Regional Medical Center on $2 million tonight, several hours after he apparently hyperventilated while being questioned by detectives.
Nicholas Piotti, 24, remained secured to his hospital bed under guard, charged with murder and weapons offenses in the brutal killing of Karen Spector Piotti.
The former lacrosse player at Ridgewood High School, Marist College, and St. Johns University was breathing normally, a law enforcement source told CLIFFVIEW PILOT tonight. But he hasnt eaten and he isnt talking to anyone.
