But of course, it is also rare that a child born to parents carrying the genes for mental illness or antisocial behavior grows up in a happy, stable home where the parents are equipped to provide a living, nurturing life. Even children who are adopted into loving homes have to deal with feelings of having been unwanted by their biological parents. Simply put, nature and nurturing can often have countervailing influences. Unfortunately, in the case of David Berkowitz, best known as the "Son of Sam," it seems almost as though nature and nurture both conspired against him. In the wake of his notorious crime spree, one of the most infamous of the 20th century, he recalled internal struggles to conform from a very early age and had to deal with the baggage and insecurities that came from his adoption. As he grew up, he seems to have lacked the will, or at least the fear of the justice system, that kept many others like him from going too far down a bad road. Indeed, he later claimed to be unable to control himself, describing dark forces that pressed him on to do things he would never have otherwise done, even as he ultimately confessed to his heinous acts and accepted his punishment rather than drag himself and his victims through a long, drawn out trial. The details, and the actions of the Son of Sam, remain shocking even decades later. Over the course of a seemingly random series of shootings that took place across New York City in 1976 and 1977, Berkowitz taunted law enforcement in highly publicized letters as he continued to elude justice, and when he referred to himself as the "son of Sam" in one of his rambling letters, his notorious nickname came to life. The senseless nature of the crimes and the erratic statements of the man claiming responsibility for them shook the Big Apple to its core as long as the killer remained at large, and many rightly feared that the publicity Berkowitz generated would only further fuel his crimes and those of copycats. Things only got stranger when Berkowitz was finally arrested in August 1977. After he claimed a neighbor's dog was ordering him to commit the crimes, there was plenty of debate over his mental state, but he was ultimately given a life sentence. New York officials proposed legislation to prevent criminals from profiting off the publicity generated by their crimes, and since his incarceration, controversy continues to follow Berkowitz, from his claims to be a born again Christian to others' claims that he's Satanic. One outsider has even offered to exorcise his demons. Throughout, Berkowitz has continued to personally request that he not be granted parole, once explaining, "In all honesty, I believe that I deserve to be in prison for the rest of my life. I have, with God's help, long ago come to terms with my situation and I have accepted my punishment." Son of Sam: The Life and Crimes of David Berkowitz looks at the life of the serial killer and the crimes he committed. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Ted Bundy like never before, in no time at all.

David Berkowitz, who became infamously known as the 'Son of Sam', first struck on the morning of 29 July 1976. It was the beginning of many brutal attacks that were to terrorize New York City's citizens over a one-year period. During the summer of 1977 at the height of the killer's notoriety and with the city in a collective panic over who was going to be his next victim, bars and nightclubs were deserted. It seemed that the efforts of the NYPD and special task teams couldn't bring the serial killer, who indiscriminately shot his victims with a 44-caliber handgun, to justice. Today, Berkowitz, former Son of Sam and now devout Christian, languishes behind bars and is unlikely ever to be released.

An alleged victim of the Son of Sam shares his search for the truth about who really tried to kill him in this true crime story. In 1976, a killer who called himself “The Son of Sam” shot and killed a half dozen people and wounded as many more in New York City. During his crime spree, the madman left bizarre letters mocking the police and promising more deaths. After months of terrorizing the city while garnering front-page headlines and international attention, a man named David Berkowitz was arrested. He confessed to the shootings, claiming to be obeying a demon that resided in a dog belonging to his neighbor “Sam.” Among the alleged victims was Carl Denaro. On the night he was shot, Denaro was hanging out with some friends at a bar when he met up with a woman named Rosemary Keenan. The couple left the bar and went to Keenan’s car for some privacy. However, a few minutes later, the windows of the car exploded as Denaro was shot in the head by an unseen assailant. Miraculously, Denaro survived the attack. When Berkowitz was arrested, he was charged with trying to kill Denaro. However, there was a twist. Although he confessed to the other shootings, after his conviction Berkowitz denied attacking Denaro. Now, after years of research, Denaro is convinced that Berkowitz was telling the truth, and that someone else tried to kill him . . . In “The Son of Sam” and Me, author Carl Denaro with co-author Brian Whitney (The “Supreme Gentleman” Killer) reveals his search for the truth and his shocking conclusion regarding the real shooter’s identity. Denaro also discusses his friendship and investigative partnership with Maury Terry, the author of The Ultimate Evil, which is considered the definitive case study on the theory that Berkowitz did not act alone. Includes never-revealed correspondence between Denaro and Berkowitz

40th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CASE THAT ROCKED THE NATION Discover the harrowing true story of the notorious serial killer who terrorized New York City forty years ago during the summer of 1977—David Berkowitz, otherwise known as Son of Sam—for true crime fans and viewers of The Lost Tapes: Son of Sam documentary now on the Smithsonian Channel. Son of Sam recounts the incredible, “can’t miss” (Kirkus Reviews) story of how a single man killed six innocent people, wounded several others, and sent millions of New Yorkers into a panic from July 1976 through August 1977. It is also the story of the greatest manhunt in the history of the New York Police Department—the intimate narrative of the men assigned to tracking down a lone killer who prowled supposedly safe neighborhoods and randomly shot pretty young women with his .44-caliber revolver. The police task force investigated more than 3,000 suspects while politicians watched a city fall into panic. Yet the interest didn’t fade after an arrest was made, and the criminal justice system showed itself incapable of coping with the man who committed such horrendous crimes. Now, based on more than three hundred recorded conversations between David Berkowitz and psychiatrists, police, district attorneys, and his defense counsel, along with his own handwritten notes and diaries, as well as the accounts of the survivors and the families of victims, this chilling book thoroughly explores the full horror of Son of Sam.

David Berkowitz, more famously known as the "Son of Sam" killer, is one of the most infamous serial killers in history. He terrorized New York City with a string of shootings that left six people dead and seven injured between 1976 and 1977. Berkowitz grew up in the Bronx with an adoptive mother and father. From a young age, Berkowitz felt neglected and isolated from his peers. It is believed that this lack of connection to those around him contributed to his later killings. On July 29, 1976, Berkowitz began his killing spree when he shot two women who were sitting in a parked car. Shortly after, he shot three other individuals in separate incidents. After each shooting, he would leave behind a note for police containing clues about his identity. It was in one of these notes that he first introduced himself as the "Son of Sam". Despite the fact that police questioned nearly 1,500 people, they were unable to identify the shooter until the summer of 1977. By then, Berkowitz had shot several more victims and even sent letters to columns in newspapers. It was through one of these letters that police were able to trace the letter back to Berkowitz. When he was eventually taken into custody, Berkowitz confessed to all of the shootings. It was at this time that it was revealed that he had been targeting victims based on their hair color, in particular brunettes. He also revealed that he had been hearing voices, which had told him to kill the victims. After his confession, Berkowitz pled guilty to all of his charges and was sentenced to 365 years in prison. In 1987 he converted to Christianity and began speaking out against the occult and satanic activities with which he had once been involved. Today, David Berkowitz is still serving out his sentence at the Sullivan Correctional Facility in Fallsburg, New York. He remains one of the most notorious serial killers of all time and a reminder of the lengths to which people can go when consumed by hatred and isolation.
