Ronald Sisman And Elizabeth Platzman Murdered

During the early morning hours of Halloween in 1981, a Manhattan couple named Ronald Sisman and Elizabeth Platzman were murdered in their apartment, near Greenwich Village. The couple was severely beaten and shot in the head, execution-style, and the apartment was completely ransacked. Sisman was rumored to be involved in drugs, so authorities initially believed that to be the motive for the killings. “Son of Sam” killer, David Berkowitz claimed that Sisman possessed snuff footage of one of the “Son of Sam” shootings and was planning to hand it over to the authorities to avoid some drug charges. While no evidence was found to support Berkowitz’s claims, he did provide an eerily accurate description of Sisman’s apartment. No one knows if the murders of Sisman and Platzman had anything to do with the “Son of Sam” case, they are still unsolved.
