Unmasking Evil: Face-to-Face with the Son of Sam
Description
</figure>David Berkowitz, known as the “Son of Sam,” terrorized New York City for a year in the late 1970s with a series of random murders and cryptic taunts to police and the press.
Ever since then, the question of why he did it and if Berkowitz had accomplices from a Satan-worshipping cult has produced ceaseless speculation.
Now, Dr. Michael Caparrelli provides new insights into the mind of David Berkowitz in a new book titled Monster Mirror. Dr. Caparrelli is a behavioral scientist and was a pastor for 16 years.
Drawing from 100 hours of face-to-face interviews, Dr. Caparrelli explores Berkowitz’s transformation from an infamous serial killer to a figure of introspection.
My interview with Dr. Caparrelli sheds light on the complex psychological factors and experiences that shaped Berkowitz’s path to violence.
It also examines his claims of religious conversion in prison and features a new confession.
