PART I
"22 Disciples of Hell" was mostly a myth.
The myth was created by a video art producer that invented a story that his father fled Europe after WWII and started a society that later became a cult.
This "underground art producer" tricked several troubled young adults into living out a cult-murder scenario.
There were only 8 members, not 22, but the "art producer" kept making claims there were additional members "out there".
The actual reason he chose 22 was so that he could use the cheesy line of "10 more than the disciples of Jesus" when people asked how many members there were.
Please take all of this with a grain of salt, as it's compiled from numerous sources:
1.
The female accomplice was Wheat Carr herself.
If you check the records, she was also the dispatcher that took the original call about investigating David:
"On August 9, 1977, NYPD detective James Justis telephoned Yonkers police to ask them to schedule an interview with Berkowitz. The Yonkers police dispatcher who first took Justis' call was Wheat Carr, the daughter of Sam Carr and sister of Berkowitz's alleged cult confederates John and Michael Carr."
David stated that there was a member working for the police, but this may have been a misunderstanding since dispatchers aren't (automatically) actually officers themselves.
She had a mental breakdown after the murders and you can find her scrambled website at wheatcarr.com aka "Wheat WROTE what?", her disorganized blog.
2.
The North Dakota Member was Alfonso Rodriguez Jr., who was finally arrested in 2003 for murder and rape.

He was born in 1953 (same year as David) and committed a crime in 2003 that was very similar to the unsolved Arlis Perry murder that occurred in 1974 that David said he had information about, implying he had spoken with the murderer.
There is a misconception that Alfonso doesn't fit the MO of a shooter, but remember that David's first attempt was with a knife, which was Alfonso's weapon of choice.
Alfonso also exclusively targeted women.
His actions were so brutal (mimicking those of the earlier Perry murder) that he was the reason why "Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Registry" was created.
Alfonso and David were both loners about the same age, but Alfonso acted like a mentor to David. David "knew" about the cult (being a local) but Alfonso already had been more involved with murder and mayhem.

Someone has been spreading information about Untermyer Park online, outsourced, but the topics were on par with what David would later claim, in which the so-called "[22] Disciples of Hell" would meet up and kill dogs as part of an initiation ritual. The bodies were then disposed of by crushing the body with a car (driving over it several times), and then disposing of it in a drain system covered in either acid or mulched and mixed with manure. Sometimes they were left in the area. This is referenced in one of the Son of Sam letters, although barely coded. 12 were killed to represent the 12 disciples of Jesus, whom they believed were inferior to the 22 disciples of hell. The fact they were dogs was a coincidence and had nothing to do with the Carr family dog, Harvey.
