True Crime documentary : How a Parking Ticket Caught A Killer : Son Of Sam

Описание: THE SON OF SAM: How One Parking Ticket Ended NYC's Nightmare
In the summer of 1976, someone started hunting in New York City.
Late at night, he walked through neighborhoods in the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. He looked for young women—usually with long dark hair—sitting in parked cars with boyfriends or friends. He approached silently, raised a .44 caliber revolver, and fired.
Donna Lauria, 18, was the first to die—shot while sitting in a car outside her home in the Bronx, talking with her best friend after a night out.
At first, police thought it was an isolated incident. Then it happened again. And again.
By spring 1977, the .44 Caliber Killer had murdered six people and wounded seven others. New York City—already struggling with economic collapse, rampant crime, and urban decay—descended into panic.
Women cut their hair or dyed it blonde. People stopped going out at night. Couples avoided parked cars. Everyone looked at their neighbors with suspicion.
Then the killer sent letters to police and a prominent journalist, signing them "Son of Sam." He promised to kill again. He mocked investigators. He claimed demons speaking through a neighbor's dog commanded him to murder.
The largest manhunt in NYC history mobilized hundreds of detectives. But despite thousands of interviews and millions of pieces of evidence, the Son of Sam remained one step ahead.
Until July 31, 1977, when he killed for the eighth and final time—Stacy Moskowitz, 20, on her first date with Robert Violante in Brooklyn.
And left behind one crucial piece of evidence: a parking ticket on a car near the crime scene.
This is the story of David Berkowitz—the ordinary-looking postal worker who terrorized New York for thirteen months. The letters that made him infamous. The investigation that came so close so many times. And the parking ticket that finally solved the case.
