54. Commanded by the Canine: The Son of Sam’s Master

In the suffocating heat of New York’s 1977 summer, a city already on the brink was pushed into absolute terror by the ".44 Caliber Killer." But when police finally handcuffed David Berkowitz, the explanation for his reign of terror was stranger than any fiction. He wasn't acting alone—he was taking orders. Specifically, from a thousand-year-old demon speaking through a black Labrador retriever named Harvey. This week, we explore the terrifyingly bizarre world of the Son of Sam. We’re breaking down the nocturnal howls that drove a killer mad, the true story of the dog's owner, Sam Carr, and the unsettling intersection where true crime meets absolute psychological dark.
