Did Son of Sam serial killer act alone? New Netflix documentary suggests the man who terrorized New York City during 1977 s summer of fear, killing six and wounding seven, had help from two friends - and they were all tied to a Satanic cult
Between July 1976 until his arrest on August 10, 1977, David Berkowitz, known as the Son of Sam, killed six people and wounded seven in New York City
His first shooting was on July 29, 1976: Donna Lauria, 18, and Jody Valenti, 19, were parked in a car in the Bronx. Lauria died but Valenti survived
He continued his random shootings. It took time for the NYPD, which had layoffs and budget cuts due to the city s deep financial woes, to connect the cases
