David Richard Berkowitz

aka The Son of Sam or The .44 Caliber Killer

David Berkowitz terrorized the city of New York for thirteen months during 1976-1977. 1976 was a time when New York City was launching a nation wide phenomena called “disco” that would forever change dance clubs. Most young couples were preoccupied with the weekend’s dress attire and dance steps, oblivious to a serial killer that stalked them. This killer would strike terror into the souls of all New Yorkers. From Brooklyn to the Bronx, no lover’s lane was safe, no couple was safe and blonds became brunettes over night. The terror peaked during the sweltering summer of 1977 when a task force consisting of several hundred police officers and detectives arrested “Mr. Monster”. With a simple clue he left behind, the Son of Sam was arrested after being tracked down with a…parking ticket he discarded near a crime scene.
