Arrest location
On the night of his arrest, Berkowitz's car was parked in this area. This is the exact location where he was finally apprehended.
It is situated about 200 feet south of the main entrance to the apartment building.
Sam Carr's house
Sam Carr's former house is situated at 316 Warburton Avenue, which is on the western side of Pine Hill Towers (apartment 7E is visible in the background, just above the house).
Carr had a black Labrador retriever named Harvey, which Berkowitz reportedly hated because it kept barking.
On one occasion, he shot the dog and wounded it.
It seems as though Carr served as the inspiration for Berkowitz's self-given nickname, the Son of Sam.
Following his arrest, he claimed that the demon inside Harvey had ordered him to kill. However, he later admitted that he had concocted this story for his insanity defense.
