Son of Sam

David Berkowitz was born in 1953. Rejected and adopted as a child, he concealed his low self-esteem by compulsive lying and bragging. And his extreme shyness toward women by assailing them, starting when he was in his early twenties. His courage bolstered by several non-fatal stabbing attacks. Berkowitz bought a gun in 1976 and began a series of impulse killings that paralyzed New York City.  

. . .[a note found at a crime scene] read in part, " I am a monster. I am the Son of Sam love to hunt" and claimed that his father. "Sam", ordered him to kill, after abusing him violently.  Information taken from: Pogo's Killers Page
