David Berkowitz

Conclusion

Berkowitz was captured the night of his last attack after receiving a parking ticket at the time and near the place of the Moskowitz murder. That evidence along with letters he wrote to Carr and the Cassaras, his military background, his appearance, and an arson incident, led police to his door step. When he was arrested he immediately surrendered to police and stated; "well you got me, what took you so long". After being evaluated, it was determined that he could stand trial. He pled not guilty and received a 365-year sentence. He remains in prison to this day.
