45:24Now PlayingStep back into the tense and turbulent streets of New York City in 1977, when an elusive serial killer turned everyday life into a nightmare. In this special episode, we explore the terrifying case of David Berkowitz, the man who became infamous as the "Son of Sam."
Over the course of more than a year, Berkowitz carried out a series of random shootings that left six people dead and seven others wounded. His attacks, often targeting young couples sitting in parked cars, spread fear across the city and dominated newspaper headlines. Taunting letters sent to police and the media fueled public panic, earning him the nickname "Son of Sam" after claims that a neighbor's dog was possessed and commanding him to kill.
This episode examines the investigation that gripped New York, the massive manhunt that followed, and the eventual arrest of Berkowitz in August 1977. We also explore the social atmosphere of a city already struggling with crime, economic hardship, and the infamous blackout of 1977, all of which amplified the fear surrounding the case.
