raz-mataz: David Berkowitz’s Yonkers Apartment The ‘Son of Sam’ lived in a small one-bedroom that was sparsely furnished and totally unorganized. His bed had no sheets and records were strewn all across the floor. The walls of the apartment gave investigators just a small glimpse inside the mind of the Son of Sam. The killer had punched holes in the walls, trying to silence the voices he said he heard coming from behind them. He’d scribble down descriptions of the voices he had heard next to each corresponding hole. The most infamous of the voices was “Mr. Williams.” The Son of Sam believed the man was keeping “several children” he was “turning into killers…Wait ‘til they grow up.” One detective who worked the case said his apartment was “your typical bachelor pad,” with dirty dishes and empty food containers. But ominously, he also had maps of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut opened up on the floor. Investigators say they arrested Berkowitz just as he was planning to carry out similar shooting attacks in New Jersey, Connecticut and on Long Island. He even planned an attack in The Hamptons, and had a getaway cottage in Shelter Island rented out for late summer of 1977. Detectives who worked the case told PEOPLE magazine they get chills when they recollect entering Berkowitz’s apartment. -- source link
