US History Trivia: What is the name of the famed "Son of Sam" killer?

United States history, particularly in the past forty years, is rife with serial killers.  For those of you who lived in New York during the late 1970s, this name likely sounds familiar: the Son of Sam.  The Son of Sam killed six and wounded many others over the course of a roughly one year period in New York city.  Those he killed tended to be young and dark-haired.  The Son of Sam had the entire city of edge until his eventual capture in August 1977.  On the day he was arrested, the entire city only had one question in mind - who was the Son of Sam?  That is today's question, off of Pocket Games: US History.  Is the correct answer David Berkowitz, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer?
