On a summer night in 1979, the lives of six teenagers collided, and one was left dead. What followed was a 17 month investigation, an escape from an inescapable prison, and a search for justice by two families: the victim's, and the murderer's.

The grand finale is here! TBH, we could have gone on for at least another week about this roller coaster of a case. IF YOU ONLY LISTEN TO ONE EPISODE OF OUR SON OF SAM COVERAGE, MAKE IT THIS ONE! We're coming hard for poorly backed conspiracy theories this week and hopefully offering some food for thought as we challenge Maury Terry's claims about the Carr family, Satanic cults, and David Berkowitz's involvement with both.
