Summary

This week’s episode is sponsored by Aprés Nail. They partnered with Liquid Death to create their first ever Press On Collection!

In this week’s investigation, Hot On The Case opens the case file on New York City in the 1970s. A city on edge, gripped by fear, and terrorized by a killer who would become known as the Son of Sam. For decades, the man blamed for the crimes has remained in custody… case closed. But newly examined evidence, overlooked connections, and unsettling inconsistencies suggest he may not have been the mastermind at all, but a fall guy… a small pawn in a much larger and darker game.
