In the mid-1970’s, New York was gripped with fear as an unknown murderer roamed the streets.
During his murder spree, David Berkowitz often approached victims sitting in cars and fired through the windshield or window.
He left taunting letters to police and columnist Jimmy Breslin, signing them “Son of Sam” (he claimed a demon-possessed dog named Sam told him to kill).
He was arrested in August of 1977, confessed to murdering six victims and wounding seven others.
