Ep. 186: Son of Sam, Pt. 1 - The Chubby Behemoth

Ain't It Scary? with Sean & Carrie

Trigger warnings for death and disco this week as we had back to mid-1970s New York to explore the "Son of Sam" murders that left the city in panic for one frantic year.

From July 1976 to July 1977, David Berkowitz embarked on a string of cold-blooded murders with a .44 caliber pistol, killing six innocent people and wounding another seven more. This week, Sean gives us a quick tour of the life and times of the sad-sack slayer before sketching out his crimes of '76 and '77, along with his pretty cringey bid to make a (literal) name for himself.
