The grand finale is here! TBH, we could have gone on for at least another week about this roller coaster of a case. IF YOU ONLY LISTEN TO ONE EPISODE OF OUR SON OF SAM COVERAGE, MAKE IT THIS ONE! We're coming hard for poorly backed conspiracy theories this week and hopefully offering some food for thought as we challenge Maury Terry's claims about the Carr family, Satanic cults, and David Berkowitz's involvement with both.

From 1976-1977, a serial killer calling himself the Son of Sam terrorized New York City. 8 shootings left 6 young people dead and 7 injured. The NYPD investigated over 3000 suspects- but it was a parking ticket that finally led them to their man. And when they got him? He blamed it on a 6000 year old demon speaking to him from a neighbor's dog. Join us for part one of our deep dive into Son of Sam!
