Son of Sam-David Berkowitz
During the mid 1970's David Berkowitz began a lengthy crime spree throughout the New York boroughs of the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, seeking young female victims. He was purportedly most attracted to white women with long dark wavy hair. All but one of the crime scenes involved two victims; he infamously committed some of his attacks while the women sat with boyfriends in parked cars. He started killing because he claims a dog possessed by a demon told him to do so, hence giving him the nickname Son of Sam.
