2. David “Son of Sam” Berkowitz
Back in the late ’70s, New York City was a mess. The crime rate was rampant and the mob ruled the city, crime gangs and crack cocaine. But worst of all, a serial killer named the Son of Sam terrified the city. Behind this nickname was David Berkowitz who, in 1976 and 1977, killed six people and attacked seven more. His method was simple. He would shoot people in dark alleys or attack young couples in parked cars.
In the beginning, the police didn’t have a clue who the Son of Sam was and why he did those crimes. But when they caught him, it was revealed he was a mentally unstable person. During his bloody quests deep in the heart of New York City, Berkowitz used his old 1963 Ford Galaxie sedan with a plain exterior. Since the car was dated, it didn’t attract any attention, which helped him hide his crimes for some time.
