Son Of Sam Connections to North Dakota Part I

Arlis Kay Dykeman born 22 Feb 1955 in a little town called Linton, ND Her parents were Marvin Dykeman & Jean Van Beek. She graduated from Bismarck High School in 1973, where she was a cheerleader and a member of the Fellowship of Christain Athletes. She may have also been a member of Young Life. (As was I)

She attended Bismarck Junior College for a year 
before she married .

In Aug of 1974 she married Bruce Perry. 








Her grandparents were

Abel Dykema 1903-1993 & Wilmina Millenaar 1903-1998





Arlis' grandmother Wilmina Millenaar 


Garritt Van Beek 1904-1976 & Virginia Wolf 1905-1992

All of whom were born and died in North Dakota. Deep roots here.


Arlis was raised a Christain. 


After Bruce and Arlis were married they moved to California to finish schooling at Standford. 

Unfortunately one evening they got into a spat about the air pressure in one of the car tires. That would be the last time the two newlyweds would ever see each alive.

Arlis went to the chapel on the campus to pray and she was brutally murdered.




Police need to do more research on Occult's



Chapel where Arlis body was found

Now the rest might be a theory, to some but it's really not.

We have had Devil Worshipers in the Bismarck area for a long time. The caves that were out by the University of Mary were closed by authorities placing dynamite in them and blowing them up.
It is said there were altars for sacrificing and occult writings on the walls.
I remember when I was a teenager and on a Halloween night we drove through Hillside Cemetery and the Occult Worshipers were there and attacked our car. We were scared and got the heck out of there. 

Arlis' murder is I believe connected to The Son of Sam. I think she tried to convert some young followers of this Occult and it pissed someone off. 

This poor girl must have been frightened out of her wits and what they did to her was beyond cruel and morbid.
I am not going to write all the gory details, you can read about them in books, newspapers, and the internet. 
I am doing this out of respect for her and her family.

I have read almost every article and book I can get my hands on about this case. I will say the best is  a book called The Ultimate Evil the truth about the cult murders: Son of Sam & Beyond by Maury Terry.
He did an outstanding job investigating information and talking directly to David Berkowitz, who by the way told him of all the connection in North Dakota including the Carr family. (I will do a separate blog on them).   






As far as I am concerned the police in North Dakota and California need to step up and do their jobs. If a private investigator and an author can dig up stuff and lead them in a direction where there are answers, then they should maybe head down that road.
It's utterly ridiculous that David Berkowitz has been the only person arrested when most of the Nation knows he was not alone in this. The dead and their families deserve Justice!!


                      Arlis Rest In Peace the truth will come

Her husband had a dental partner and friend he supposedly committed suicide in 2005. here's that newspaper clipping. (Just click the link it will take you to the article).


Here's the latest on Arlis' murderer...He had to of known the Carr brothers. If he killed her it was because someone told him to and he was bought off or scared for his own life, possibly a part of the Occult. Another Passé

Here is a link to the Queens District Attorney's Tape interviews on the Son of Sam Case. I think you will find them very interesting and will open a whole new prospective on this case.
