The Son of Sam case

I find this case interesting as my grandma has a slight relation to it :))

My grandma had long dark hair most of the female victims had dark hair so females were changing their hair color in fright. My grandma liked her hair color so she refused to change it, resulting in her being avoided by everyone for fear of their safety. I had also been told by her that she was good friends with one of the female victims. She had been injured badly as she was left fully paralyzed for the rest of her life.(I never got her name) I have always been fascinated at this case and with unsolved mysteries in general so this is cool to me. my grandma was a teen at this time. She was never targeted but she lived very close to the crime scenes as we are from new york but she was in the area of the crimes.

(I dont know if this is all factual i probably got stuff wrong, this is from what i remember she told me. she passed in 2012 so nothing i can do)

Yeah, Son of Sam is interesting. One thing I find most interesting is how BAD he was at actually being a serial killer. He killed 6 people, God rest their souls, and wounded 7. I care very much about all of his victims ... but that's a 46% success rate. Hardly a prolific or cunning serial killer.

In the 1990s, David started recanting his confession and putting the blame on a Satanic cult. The evidence doesn't support that. Police say it's entirely possible he knew a cult (there were many floating around NY in the 1970's) all the evidence points to him acting alone.

The numerous psychologists, FBI agents, and investigators who interviewed Berkowitz (for months) at the time, all agree we was too introverted to even become a cult member. He was also able to walk investigators, step by step, though every attack with 100% accurate detail. (That's when he thought he'd get his insanity plea by blaming the neighbor's dog). What an idiot.

The truth of David Berkowitz is that he was a clumsy, selfish, (probably) mentally ill person who ran around, for about a year, shooting at innocent kids who didn't know to be afraid of the world. Then he was caught by a dog walker.

He's interesting to me because he's such an unremarkable predator.

Maybe your grandma knew Joanne Lomino? She was shot in her spine and had to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. I'm not sure what the extent of her paralysis was. She and her girlfriend were only in high school. It's so sad. I feel furious for all his victims; those who survived and those who didn't. It's honestly infuriating.

David doesn't scare me, I honestly just feel annoyed by him.

John Wayne Gacy ... now THERE is a scary dude. How do you pull off being one of the most popular, successful, well-liked guys in town, WHILE hiding the corpses of 26 teenages on your tiny property? He said when he ran out of space - he just started "chucking them" in the river. No one is sure how many kids he killed, they just know it's at least 33. He was never sorry. Even when it would have benefited him to lie, and just say he was sorry, he couldn't/wouldn't do it.

That's the kind of person who scares me.

What do you think?
