He was notably involved with David Berkowitz's case, culminating in a letter from Berkowitz that first revealed his identity. Borrelli's passing marks the end of an era for the NYPD and the city he helped protect.
Mr. Borrelli, sir, I dont want to kill anymore no sir, no more but I must, 'honour thy father,' said the infamous Son of Sam.
Borrelli was at the forefront of crucial investigations, including the Son of Sam killings, which struck fear across New York City during the summers of 1976 and 1977.
