There are few serial killers who have a name as memorable as David Berkowitz.
Known by many as the 'Son of Sam', the serial killer terrorised New York City between July 1976 and July 1977 as he carried out eight different shootings, killing six and injuring an additional eight.
During that 12-month period, the serial killer primarily targeted young women with long, dark hair, leading hundreds of New York City women to purchase wigs or brightly coloured hair dye.

As the murders gripped the attention of both the public and the media in New York City, the case quickly gained notoriety worldwide.
The media frenzy surrounding the serial killer first intensified when Berkowitz wrote a series of letters to the New York Police Department.
In one letter, which was found near the bodies of Alexander Esau, a 20-year-old tow truck operator, and Valentina Suriani, an 18-year-old model, Berkowitz referred to himself as the 'Son of Sam'.
