Funny story that became part of my family's lore... My dad went out to see the original Star Wars back in 1977. Then he came home, walked the dog, and when doing so got arrested because the police thought he was the Son of Sam.
When he used his phone call to dial his wife (my mom), her reaction was "Wait... Could it be? He walks the dog every night around the time of the killings?!"
Of course, my Dad was not the Son of Sam. They released him the same night they caught him because he had too many valid alibis. My mom started trusting him again a few hours later (lol). They caught the real guy, David Berkowitz, shortly thereafter. Still, it's kind of funny to think about. The look on my Dad's face must have been priceless.
