The summer of ’77 was a nightmare in New York City, one that still haunts many thousands of people four decades later. Crime was rampant, city services were failing, and David Berkowitz, a postal worker, had been terrorizing the city for more than a year as the murderous Son of Sam. The Lost Tapes: Son of Sam is set to debut July 30 on Smithsonian Channel, and an Investigation Discovery film, Son of Sam: Hunt for a Killer -- which was previewed Wednesday morning at the Summer 2017 Television Critics Association Tour -- will be telecast August 5.
