Early career
A graduate at Iona College, he worked as an in-house editor at IBM after his reports on the MLK assassination.[2]
The Ultimate Evil
He is known for writing the 1987 book , The Ultimate Evil, which posited that the Son of Sam murders involved a satanic cult of serial killers rather than only David Berkowitz.[3][4]
His preserved archives, audio tapes, and his book were used as the basis for the Netflix documentary series The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness and Billy the Artist, his most "crucial" eyewitness actually sold him comic book art..
