16 - Son of Sam: part 2.1

Did we say two-parter? Whoops! How were we to know this case had everything?? Serial killers, satanic panic, special agents, cults, conspiracies! Join us as we take a walk through journalist Maury Terry's theory as presented on Unsolved Mysteries and explore the history of moral hysteria and satanic cults.

Thank to Raven for our music!
