Some, because of sensitive positions they occupy, cannot be named — but they have my appreciation for their professional insights and cooperation. Others to whom I am indebted are my family and friends, who listened and offered support when it mattered most. Among those friends are George Austin, Joe Walsh, Scott Hammon, Bob and Larry Siegel, Lee Carucci, George and Roger Young, Kyle and Nina (Betty) Rote, Pete Lebhar and the circle at Olliver's. Special thanks to the Queens District Attorney's Office, particularly John Santucci, Herb Leifer and Tom McCarthy; and to Gannett Westchester Newspapers — especially Joe Ungaro, Dave Hartley, Shennan Bodner and Tom Bartley. My appreciation is extended to former Lt. Terry Gardner and Det. Mike Knoop in Minot, North Dakota; and to Sgt. Ken Kahn in the Santa Clara, California, Sheriff's Department. viii acknowledgments I would also like to note the contributions of reporters Jeff Nies and Jack Graham of the Minot Daily News, and thank Marv and Jean Dykema and friends of Arlis Perry who assisted me in Bismarck. A singular acknowledgment to reporter Jim Mitteager, who was there at the beginning; and to reporter/author Marian Roach, who helped in the early years. My gratitude extends to retired NYPD detectives Joe Basteri and Hank Cinotti, to Lt. Mike Novotny and Lt. Marty Harding of the Yonkers Police, and to Lt. Don Starkey of the Yonkers Fire Department's arson squad. I would also like to note the assistance of police instructor Fred Patterson, who joined some stakeouts and incorporated my work into a seminar for law enforcement officers, and that of the late Joseph Pearlman, an exemplary private investigator. I also thank the Greenburgh, New York, Police Department, particularly Capt. Gerry Buckhout and Chief Don Singer. My added appreciation to Nassau County, New York, District Attorney Denis Dillon, the Connecticut State Police, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. A special word of appreciation to people close to the Son of Sam case: Jerry and Neysa Moskowitz, Mike and Rose Lauria, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Suriani, Robert Violante, Cäcilia Davis, Tom Zaino, John Diel, Mrs. Nann Cassara, Steve Cassara and the Neto family. Singular gratitude is expressed to the West Coast investigators, including Ted Gunderson, Judy Hanson, ix acknowledgments Dee Brown and Dave Balsiger. Their assistance was extremely valuable. I am grateful to a woman who I will call Lee Chase, who was close to David Berkowitz and whose assistance was timely and informative. My thanks go to attorneys Felix Gilroy and Harry Lipsig, and to producer Frank Anthony and the staff of WOR-TV's "What's Happening, America" and "The War Within" programs. An acknowledgment to the work of reporters Mike Zuckerman and Ed Trapasso of Gannett, Newsday's Steve Wick, and author Ed Sanders. For assistance in the 1990s, I would like to thank the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Yonkers Police Department, and retired NYPD detec- tives Al Sheppard, Jim Tedaldi, Jim Rothstein and Richard Johnson. My appreciation for contributions in the '90s is also extended to: Barbara C., Dale Griffis, Sam Diego, Donald Ripp, Ray Segal, Steve Segovia, Mark Ness, Bart Feder, Sarah Wallace and Wayne Darwen. My gratitude is also extended to those in the print and broadcast mediums who believed in the rele- vance of the investigation and offered information or followed through with reports on the work. And finally, an important acknowledgment to the many private citizens, and others, who either came for- ward with vital information or gave hours of their time when I sought their cooperation. It made a difference. x introduction As the clock inched past midnight into July 31, 1977, the great metropolis was in turmoil. A task force of three hundred cops — by itself larger than most American police departments — was hunting Son of Sam in one of the deadliest scenarios ever staged in the real-life theater of New York City. An expansive dragnet draped Queens and the Bronx, the preferred stalking grounds. They didn't think the menace would evade their porous net and invade Brooklyn. They were wrong. In the predawn hours of July 31, a young man sprayed four shots from a .44 Bulldog into a car parked in a Brooklyn lovers' lane, fatally wounding Stacy Moskowitz and partially blinding her date. It was the eighth and final attack, and it happened as our seaside analysis of the case continued forty miles east in Davis Park. That irony would remain with me always. Eleven nights later, a parking ticket he received near the Brooklyn scene finally led a befuddled NYPD to sub- urban Yonkers, New York, and the owner of that cited xi introduction Ford Galaxie. His name was David Berkowitz, and he was a stocky, twenty-four-year-old postal employee and army veteran who had patrolled the frozen demilitarized zone in Korea before returning to his native Bronx in 1974. Berkowitz, whom police never considered a sus- pect until a few hours before his fortuitous capture, went quietly. He eagerly confessed to being a lone marauder who had terrorized New York for thirteen agonizing months. The fact that his confession was fatally flawed was buried by the avalanche of eupho- ria and police promotions that followed. It mattered, too, that a New York City mayoral primary, in which the incumbent was lagging in the polls, was on the immediate horizon. It was time for the case to end and for the mayor's camp to garner credit. From the outset, I was skeptical of Berkowitz's claim of sole culpability, and those suspicions marked the beginning of a perilous investigative odyssey destined to continue for many years. During that time, I traveled from completely outside the case to a point where I was able to uncover the many hor- rific secrets hidden within its very core. The trail led from the hushed silence of a church in Palo Alto, California, to the mansions of Beverly Hills, and from the golden wheat fields of North Dakota to the posh decadence of Long Island's Hamptons and the squalor of a half-dozen prisons. This book, which chronicles that harrowing voy- age deep inside one of America's most infamous xii introduction cases, was first published in 1987. It was updated two years later and has now been brought into 1999 by virtue of this introduction and a comprehensive new epilogue. However, this is not a Son of Sam story. On the surface is the enigmatic David Berkowitz, but far below is an infinitely more frightening specter — a highly motivated and well-organized cult group whose various criminal enterprises included the .44 homicides. While using the trappings of the occult, the group's main goals were power, greed and terror- ism. It is the embodiment of organized evil, and it still stains America on the eve of the millennium. It has thrived because its tentacles ensnared a number of jaded allies whose influential positions enabled it to extend far beyond New York. So, more than anything else, this book is an exam- ination of a volatile consortium which evolved with the times, altered its face and constructed a facade which it burrowed into the 1990s American land- scape. But beneath the contemporary veneer, it remains what it always was: a well-connected criminal cabal which some authorities today regard as "active and dangerous" because they believe it is presently aligned with a number of incendiary U.S. hate groups, radical movements and militias. To understand why the Son of Sam and other related killings happened and how those ultimately the most responsible for them managed to continue xiii introduction their operations to the present day, it is perhaps ben- eficial to pose a few questions. Did the government deceive the public about Vietnam, Watergate and Iran-Contra? It did. Did the government fatally fumble the 1993 standoff at the Branch-Davidian compound in Waco, Texas? It did.

  • America's Fascination with Multiple Murder
    CHAPTER ONE AMERICA’S FASCINATION WITH MULTIPLE MURDER he break of dawn on November 16, 1957, heralded the start of deer hunting T season in rural Waushara County, Wisconsin. The men of Plainfield went off with their hunting rifles and knives but without any clue of what Edward Gein would do that day. Gein was known to the 647 residents of Plainfield as a quiet man who kept to himself in his aging, dilapidated farmhouse. But when the men of the vil- lage returned from hunting that evening, they learned the awful truth about their 51-year-old neighbor and the atrocities that he had ritualized within the walls of his farmhouse. The first in a series of discoveries that would disrupt the usually tranquil town occurred when Frank Worden arrived at his hardware store after hunting all day. Frank’s mother, Bernice Worden, who had been minding the store, was missing and so was Frank’s truck. But there was a pool of blood on the floor and a trail of blood leading toward the place where the truck had been garaged. The investigation of Bernice’s disappearance and possible homicide led police to the farm of Ed Gein. Because the farm had no electricity, the investigators con- ducted a slow and ominous search with flashlights, methodically scanning the barn for clues. The sheriff’s light suddenly exposed a hanging figure, apparently Mrs. Worden. As Captain Schoephoerster later described in court: Mrs. Worden had been completely dressed out like a deer with her head cut off at the shoulders.

  • "Son of Sam" Case: First Amendment Analysis and Legislative Implications
    Order Code 92-56 A CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web The “Son of Sam” Case: First Amendment Analysis and Legislative Implications Updated February 27, 2002 -name redacted- Legislative Attorney American Law Division Congressional Research Service The Library of Congress The “Son of Sam” Case: First Amendment Analysis and Legislative Implications Summary In Simon & Schuster, Inc. v. Members of the New York State Crime Victims Board, the United States Supreme Court held that New York State’s “Son of Sam” law was inconsistent with the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of speech and press. The Son of Sam law, in the Court’s words, “requires that an accused or convicted criminal’s income from works describing his crime be deposited in an escrow account. These funds are then made available to the victims of the crime and the criminal’s other creditors.” “[T]he Federal Government and most of the States have enacted statutes with similar objectives.” This report examines the Supreme Court decision and then considers whether its rationale renders the federal law unconstitutional. Concluding that it likely does, we consider whether it would be possible to enact a constitutional Son of Sam statute. Finally, we take note of some state Son-of-Sam statutes that have been enacted since the Supreme Court decision. The Court struck down the New York statute apparently because it was both underinclusive in that it applied solely to income derived from the exercise of First Amendment rights, and overinclusive in that it could have applied to books such as Saint Augustine’s Confessions, the inclusion of which would not have advanced the government’s legitimate interest in depriving criminals of the profits of their crimes and using these funds to compensate victims.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF (L) CORKY LEE AND (R) LIA CHANG. THE ANNUAL ASIAN AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (AAIFF) is New York’s leading showcase for the Asian American and Asian independent cinema. Presented by Asian CineVision (ACV), the AAIFF is the first and longest-running festival in the U.S. to showcase the moving image work by artists of Asian descent and about the Asian American experience. AAIFF premiered in the seminal summer of 1978 at the Henry Street Settlement in New York City. Ed Koch had been elected mayor, the first cellular mobile phone is introduced, serial killer David Berkowitz, “Son of Sam,” is convicted of murder, GREASE, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS were the blockbusters of their day. Forty years later, the AAIFF has grown to include films and video from more than 30 coun- tries, answering a growing need for social understanding, cultural diversity in American life, and independent cinema. AAIFF has played a vital role in discovering and nurturing such acclaimed talent as Oscar Award winners Ang Lee, Jessica Yu, Steven Okazaki, Ruby Yang and Chris Tashima; Os- car Award nominees Christine Choy and Rene Tajima-Pena, Frieda Lee Mock, Arthur Dong, Zhang Yimou; and mainstream entertainment directors Wayne Wang, Mira Nair, and Justin Lin.
