About this episode

This episode explores the Son of Sam case and the theory that David Berkowitz was part of a larger Satanic cult.

Between the summers of 1976 and 1977, the serial killer known as the Son of Sam terrorized New York City. After police arrested a postal worker named David Berkowitz, the city could finally rest easy because the killer was behind bars. But is that all there is to the story? After Berkowitz's arrest, a journalist named Maury Terry continued digging into the story, and he uncovered shocking evidence that David Berkowitz did not act alone, and that he was part of a larger Satanic cult.
