Episode Details

The Son of Sam case refers to a series of shootings that took place in New York City during the summer of 1976 and into 1977. The killer, who became known as the "Son of Sam," was David Berkowitz. He murdered six people and wounded seven others, primarily targeting young couples parked in cars.

Donna Laurie, Jody Valenti, Carl Denaro, Rosemary Keenan, Donna DeMasi, Joanne Lomino, Christine Freund, John Diel, Virginia Voskerichian, Alexander Esau, Valentina Suriani, Salvatore Lupo, Judy Placido, Stacy Moskowitz, and Robert Violante all lost their lives at the hands of this maniac.

Berkowitz taunted police and the public through letters he sent to the press, signing them as "Son of Sam." His letters included bizarre claims about being commanded to kill by a demon dog, which added to the panic and media frenzy surrounding the case.

The investigation was intense, and Berkowitz was eventually apprehended on August 10, 1977, after police traced a parking ticket to his car. He confessed to the murders and was convicted, receiving multiple life sentences. His case raised discussions about mental health, media influence, and public safety, making it one of the most infamous criminal cases in American history. Berkowitz has since claimed to have found religion and has expressed remorse for his actions
