DESCRIPTION:
(from Investigation Discovery's press release, March 2017) Without any indication of who he was targeting, when he was going to strike, or where, New York City was in panic for a year while a serial killer taunted law enforcement with a fatal game of cat and mouse. Now, on the 40th anniversary of the capture of David Berkowitz, #1 true crime network Investigation Discovery (ID) announces the three-part documentary special SON OF SAM: THE HUNT FOR A KILLER, tracing the parallel stories of a serial killer's unsuspecting victims, while following the dedicated detectives who worked tirelessly to capture the man who left six young people dead, seven wounded, and countless families bereft. In partnership with Cream Productions and Absinthe Films, SON OF SAM tracks the investigative beats as a tragic mystery unfolds and finally answers the conspiracy theories that question whether the Son of Sam acted alone. The three-night special event, SON OF SAM: THE HUNT FOR A KILLER, will premiere this summer on ID.
