One of the greatest manhunts in New York City history comes to life in Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes. The gripping three-part series takes viewers inside the NYPD’s desperate race to catch the infamous “.44 Caliber Killer” — and into the disturbing mind of David Berkowitz himself. Newly unearthed recordings offer rare insight into his twisted psyche, revealing what was going through his mind as he unleashed a reign of terror in the late 1970s. Alongside firsthand accounts from cops, journalists, and survivors, the series unpacks how fear spread through the streets, fueled by cryptic letters, a frenzied press, and a killer who seemed to be everywhere and nowhere at once. From Emmy-winning and Academy Award–nominated director Joe Berlinger, this chilling new chapter of Conversations with a Killer delves into one of the most infamous cases in American history.
Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes premieres on Netflix on July 30.
