Brooklyn District Attorney

I mean, I specifically recall a murder case I tried in Brooklyn in 2007 of a retired FBI agent who was accused of doing mafia murders.

that the Brooklyn DA got all excited about.

They indicted him for murder.

They're going to have this big, sexy trial.

They even interviewed a source who told them that David Berkowitz knew John Carr and that he visited the group in North Dakota.

Detectives from the Minot Police did share all this information with the Brooklyn DA's office, but the district attorney didn't seem interested.

Not long after that, Maury Terry learned that Michael Carr was killed in a suspicious car accident.

Somehow, the man's car ran off the road and smashed head-on into a pole.

This meant that the two most prominent suspects he had of being involved in the Son of Sam killings were both dead under suspicious circumstances.

To Maury Terry, it felt like someone was tying up loose ends.

But even after the story's publication, the Brooklyn DA still stuck to the official story that David Berkowitz acted alone.

But the story did manage to change the mind of the Queens DA, John Santucci.
