Was Albert DeSalvo the Only Boston Strangler? 13 Victims and Decades of Doubt | Profiling Evil

from Profiling Evil

Between 1962 and 1964, thirteen women in the Boston area were murdered in a case that terrified a city and became known around the world as the Boston Strangler murders. For decades, the public was told Albert DeSalvo was the killer. He confessed, the headlines moved on, and Boston tried to put the nightmare behind it. But DeSalvo was never convicted of the Strangler murders. His confession had problems, several suspects remained in the background, and even after DNA tied him to one victim in 2013, questions remain about whether one man killed all thirteen women. In this episode we look at the victims, the investigation, the suspects, the confession, and the evidence that still leaves this case sitting somewhere between closure and mystery.#BostonStrangler #AlbertDeSalvo #AnnaSlesers #MaryMullen #NinaNichols #HelenBlake #IdaIrga #JaneSullivan #SophieClark #PatriciaBissette #MaryAnnBrown #BeverlySamans #EvelynCorbin #JoannGraff #MarySullivan #GeorgeNassar #TrueCrime #ColdCase #CriminalBehavior #ProfilingEvil #GIS #Esri #ArcGIS========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to: [email protected]========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
