On August 10, 1977, 24-year-old postal employee David Berkowitz
was arrested and charged with being the “Son of Sam,” the serial
killer who terrorized New York City for more than a year, killing
six young people and wounding seven others with a .44-caliber
revolver. Because Berkowitz generally targeted attractive young
women with long brown hair, hundreds of young women had their
hair cut short and dyed blonde during the time he terrorized the
city. Thousands more simply stayed home at night.
After his arrest, Berkowitz claimed that demons and a black
Labrador retriever owned by a neighbor named Sam had
ordered him to commit the killings.
