Son Of Sam: The Truth About The Serial Killer

In 1977, serial killer David Berkowitz gained worldwide notoriety after terrorizing New York City with a string of seemingly random murders. Berkowitz taunted the police and the media with cryptic letters calling himself "Son of Sam" and "Mr. Monster" before he was finally caught on August 10, 1977. Berkowitz ultimately pleaded guilty to eight separate shooting attacks.

Along with documentaries like Netflix's Sons of Sam, the Berkowitz case has been used as fodder for several TV show episodes and feature-length movies, including Spike Lee's 1999 thriller Summer of Sam. Having a hard time separating fact from fiction? Here's the truth about the serial killer known as Son of Sam.
