About this episode
You know their names: the Unabomber and Son of Sam. Two of the most recognizable killers in history, both using the press to amplify fear. In 1995, Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto hits the Washington Post, and in 1977, David Berkowitz’s letter rattles the New York Post. We trace how the media played a key role in their crimes...and part of their downfall.
