David Berkowitz, he was an odd fellow wasn’t he? Yup, son of sam, was an angry man. Art and H.E. are taking a trip to New York City in the late 70’s this week, hot on the trail of the elusive .44 Caliber Killer. 
 

Berkowitz grew up in NYC, served in the army and worked for the postal service before starting his reign of terror over the five boroughs. By all accounts, he had a shitty life. An adopted orphan, we was lied about his biological family and was noted by relatives and neighbours for being a difficult, spoiled bully, He was an arsonist, and loved petty larcenies. In short, he was an angry man, and a compulsive liar. 

He made up crazy stories about his neighbours’s Sam dog being possessed by a demon telling him to kill, to being part of a satanic cult and that the killings were part of a ritual.. The man was absolutely bat shit crazy, and a terrible human. He had a knack for taunting authorities with letters, and was very infatuated with his growing notoriety, going as far as to revisit sites of previous crimes. He ended up being caught by the boys in blue, and sent to jail for 6 consecutive life sentences, one of each murder. In later years, he  became a born against christian while incarcerated, going as far as wanting to be known as the son of hope after finding christ.... What a loon..
