The Sons of Sam docuseries on Netflix brings a forgotten old case back to life as the investigation looks deeper into one of the most gruesome serial murders of the time and history of American crime. But the series is not about the investigation and capture of the killer. It is the story of a man who could not believe that the killer was caught and began a lifelong crusade to unearth the truth.
What is The Sons of Sam Netflix Series About?
The Sons of Sam is the new true crime docuseries that digs deeper into late 1970 serial killer David Berkowitz and what unraveled after his arrest.
The hunt for the “Son of Sam” captivated the world in the late 1970s, but the story behind one of America’s most notorious serial murderers is all but forgotten — until now.
While the arrest and conviction of David Berkowitz brought the nightmare to an end for many New Yorkers, for journalist and Ultimate Evil author Maury Terry, the real mystery was just beginning.
Terry, convinced Berkowitz had not acted alone, would go on to spend decades attempting to prove that the web of darkness behind the murders went deeper than anyone imagined – and his pursuit of that elusive truth would eventually cost him everything.
The series draws on archival news footage, conversations with the people closest to the investigation, and Terry’s own words and case files to tell a cautionary tale of a man who went down a rabbit hole and never came out.
But was Maury Terry just chasing ghosts – or are the true Sons of Sam still out there…
