Truth behind the crime show:

Wendy Savino special guest Frank

DeGennaro

We discuss the Wendy Savino shooting. Wendy Savino, an 87-year-old woman, was recently officially recognized by the New York Police Department as the first victim of notorious serial killer David Berkowitz, also known as “Son of Sam.” The attack occurred on April 9, 1976, when Savino was shot multiple times while sitting in her car. She sustained severe injuries, including the loss of an eye, but managed to survive the assault.

David Berkowitz initially targeted Savino before his more widely known murder spree in 1976-1977, during which he killed six people and wounded others. Although Savino provided a crucial sketch of her attacker early on, it took decades for her to be formally recognized as Berkowitz’s first victim. Her survival and perseverance contributed to his eventual capture.

Berkowitz, who remains imprisoned, expressed remorse for his crimes during a recent parole hearing, though he continues to serve multiple life sentences for the murders. The recognition of Savino’s victimhood adds a new chapter to the tragic legacy of Berkowitz’s reign of terror.
