David Berkowitcz

Born as the child of an illicit affair, Berkowitz's mother gave him up to avoid losing the affection of the married man she was having an affair with., Joseph Klineman. Pearl and Nathan Berkowitz, a couple living in the Bronx, adopted the child. His mother died when he was 14, and his childhood with the woman his father remarried was troubled, which likely contributed to his serial killings later in life.
