Who is David Berkowitz?

David Berkowitz terrorized America like very few have before. He is convicted of killing six people and brutally injuring seven others during the second half of the 1970s.  He was  June 1, 1953, in Brooklyn, New York.  His first confirmed attack took place on July 29, 1976, near Pelham Bay, Bronx. Two women, Donna Lauria and Jody Valenti, were sitting in a car outside Lauria’s apartment when he fired bullets on them. In the November of the same year, he targeted two young girls, Donna DeMasi and Joanne Lomino, as they were returning home after a movie.  On April 17, 1977, yet another couple turned into the victim of the .44 Caliber Killer. Alexander Esau and Valentina Suriani were both shot twice in their car. Neither survived the attack. The police found a letter at the crime scene addressed to the captain and warning them that he will be back. The final attack, before he was arrested, took place in Brooklyn on July 31, 1977. Berkowitz pleaded guilty to all charges against him and was sentenced to six 25 years to life sentences to be served consecutively. He would have been eligible for parole after serving 25 years.
