...variations have been broad enough to make the killer unpredictable. While six of the women victims had fairly long dark hair, three did not. Stacy's was blonde. Only one of the parked cars was in a traditional romantic lovers' lane; the rest were on quiet residential streets. The geographical pattern first centered on neighboring parts of Queens and The Bronx, but then spread to Brooklyn, alarming all of New York City. Since Son of Sam's letter to Breslin was postmarked in New Jersey, the killer seems highly mobile...

His flop-eared hound Tyler has developed an incurable fondness for the main swimming pool on the Rockefeller estate in Pocantico hills and also his master's warm bed, the instant Kissinger vacates it in the morning. Private Citizen Henry Kissinger has a trick back like millions of other Americans; he also has income...
