The odd part of that investigation involved the two sons of Berkowitz's neighbor, Sam Carr. In calling himself the Son of Sam, Berkowitz would later say he'd heard voices through Carr's dog. But maybe there was more to it.
While most of the New York media dismissed the cult possibility out of hand as the ramblings of a crazy man, the demonic possession angle intrigued me.
The fact of the matter: Both of Sam Carr's sons died in the midst of the Son of Sam spree.
Michael Carr died in a single-car crash on a New York City highway. Far more ominous, John Carr died Feb. 16, 1978, at the Air Force base in Minot, N.D. It appeared to be a suicide, with a shotgun placed vertically from the ground up into his mouth. But conspiracy theorists to this day suggest it was murder.
I traveled to Minot to check it out, where a law enforcement source told me he had evidence that David Berkowitz and John Carr had known each other quite well. Hmmm.
John Carr sometimes used "Wheat" as a middle name. In one of Son of Sam's notes, he offered "a name to help you along — John Wheaties, rapist and suffocator of young girls."
Jesus. Locking all the doors, turning on all the lights!!
