The true-crime cult classic that inspired the Netflix docuseries
The Sons of Sam: A Descent into Darkness and a companion podcast,
The Ultimate Evil follows journalist Maury Terry s decades-long
investigation into the terrifying truth behind the Son of Sam
murders. On August 10, 1977, the NYPD arrested David Berkowitz for
the Son of Sam murders that had terrorized New York City for over a
year. Berkowitz confessed to shooting sixteen people and killing
six with a .44 caliber Bulldog revolver, and the case was
officially closed. Journalist Maury Terry was suspicious of
Berkowitz s confession. Spurred by conflicting witness descriptions
of the killer and clues overlooked in the investigation, Terry was
convinced Berkowitz didn t act alone. Meticulously gathering
evidence for a decade, he released his findings in the first
edition of The Ultimate Evil. Based upon the evidence he had
uncovered, Terry theorized that the Son of Sam attacks were
masterminded by a Yonkers-based cult that was responsible for other
ritual murders across the country. After Terry s death in 2015,
documentary filmmaker Josh Zeman (Cropsey, The Killing Season,
Murder Mountain) was given access to Terry s files, which form the
basis of his docuseries with Netflix and a companion podcast. Taken
together with The Ultimate Evil, which includes a new introduction
by Zeman, these works reveal the stunning intersections of power,
wealth, privilege, and evil in America from the Summer of Sam until
today.
