In the early morning hours of July 31, 1977, Stacy Moskowitz and Robert Violante (above), both 20 years old, were parked in Violante's car in Brooklyn on their first date. The two were kissing when Berkowitz fired four bullets into the car, striking each one of them in the head before running into the nearby park, per CBS News. Moskowitz, Berkowitz's only blonde victim, died a day and a half later. Violante lost his left eye and is legally blind.

”I still have bad dreams,” Violante told The New York Times in 1983. ”Emotionally, I'm very scarred. I'm still paranoid about walking alone at night. Here I am a grown man and I'm still afraid to walk at night. The emotional hurt was worse than the physical. The physical was bad, but ..." Violante went on to have a 35-year career with the U.S. Postal Service, according to PIX11, and is now retired.

For his part, Berkowitz has been incarcerated since his arrest for the Son of Sam murders, and is serving six consecutive life sentences at the Shawangunk Correctional Facility in New York State.

Oxygen reports that Netflix will stream a four-part documentary series, The Sons of Sam, beginning May 5.
