About this episode
David Berkowitz would terrorize New York City in 1976 and 1977, murder 6 people, injure even more, and would become known as "The .44 Caliber Killer" and "The Son of Sam". Berkowitz would target women with long dark hair prompting women all over New York City to cut their hair, dye their hair, or wear wigs to stay off the killer's radar.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss this infamous serial killer from NYC. Berkowitz blamed his killings on demonic possession and say that he took orders to kill from a neighbor's dog. The reasons he gave for the murders and the media hype surrounding the panic in New York City would propel his infamy.
