Netflix has dropped the trailer for The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness, teasing a roller coaster of emotions as the show explores the theory of whether the Son of Sam serial killer had at least one accomplice.
Also known as the .44 Caliber Killer, David Berkowitz received six life sentences following his killing spree that began in 1976 in New York City. Even though it was considered a “closed case” after Berkowitz’s capture in 1977, the documentary highlights some reports suggesting he had an accomplice in the attacks. One piece of evidence: The police sketches allegedly don’t add up, with one interviewee claiming there is no way one could mistake Berkowitz for being a 6-foot tall blonde man, as described.
Berkowitz, now 67, spoke about his eight attacks in an old TV interview, during which he claimed, “I did not pull the trigger on every single one of them.” In another clip, the convicted murderer can be heard saying, “I could feel a force pulling me into the darkness.”
