THE UNTOLD TRUTH OF THE SON OF SAM

In 1976 and '77, fear paralyzed New York City as a serial killer stalked the streets randomly shooting people for no apparent reason. Six people were murdered and seven were injured in eight separate attacks by a man who took complete responsibility for the crimes named David Berkowitz, the ".44 Caliber Killer," also known as the "Son of Sam."

After David Berkowitz was arrested, he pled guilty and accepted life in prison. Law enforcement records were never released, leaving the public with many questions as to what really happened.

Forty-four years has passed and the .44 Caliber Killer's story is still untold. Who was the "Son of Sam?" Why did he do this?

The story of a crazed man who talked to a dog that gave him orders to kill were the initial reports released to the public. As years passed, the story changed. Reports began to surface that claimed Berkowitz had not acted alone and was part of a satanic cult which included accomplices to these murders. Did David Berkowitz commit these crimes alone, or was he aided by members of this cult?

In 1976, David Berkowitz moved to Yonkers, New York, my hometown, and left a tainted image of my city and its people. As a true Yonkers resident, I felt a sense of responsibility to seek out the truth. Determined to protect the reputation of my city, my church, and the people wrongfully accused, I relentlessly walked my streets of Yonkers to find the answers to what really happened with the "Son of Sam."

This journal includes original ground work, real testimonies from people, real testimonies from victims, real testimonies from witnesses, real testimonies from law enforcement, police reports, police documents and original letters written by David Berkowitz.
