David Berkowitz, better known as the “Son of Sam,” claimed his neighbor’s demon-possessed dog told him to go on a killing spree.
He evaded capture for over a year while New York women were bleaching their hair and buying wigs. His downfall? A parking ticket near one of the crime scenes.
Now serving six life sentences, Berkowitz has swapped bullets for Bibles and goes by the “Son of Hope,” which sounds like a motivational speaker... if you forget the whole serial killer thing.
