SUMMER OF FEAR, Part 5: Son of Sam at 73 — the Parole Hearing He Skipped, the Demon Dog He Admitted He Invented, and the Man He Blinded

The finale of the five-part series Summer of Fear. In May, David Berkowitz declined to attend his own parole hearing — his thirteenth since becoming eligible in 2002 — and emailed the New York Post to say he is already free, and that his home is in heaven, not in the Bronx. Robert Violante, who was twenty when Berkowitz shot him in the head and who has almost no sight left, was asked what he made of that, and he answered. Garret Fisher closes the week with the demon dog Berkowitz later admitted he invented, the Carr brothers who both died young, the reporter who spent his life chasing a cult through this case and what he got right about the cowardice of the men who closed it, and the fifteen young people whose names are the only reason any of this is worth saying out loud. Fifty years ago next Wednesday, Donna Lauria was killed in a parked car in the Bronx. Everybody remembers the killer. So on Wednesday, don't.Part 5 of 5. The complete series:

Parts 1–5. This series discusses gun violence and the deaths of young people. If you're struggling, you can reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the U.S. by calling or texting 988.
