Albert DeSalvo

Albert Henry DeSalvo was an American convicted murderer, rapist, and serial killer who was active in Boston, Massachusetts between June 1962 and January 1964. DeSalvo confessed to being the "Boston Strangler", a serial killer who murdered thirteen women in the Boston area between 1962 to 1964. Because of the lack of physical evidence to support his confession, DeSalvo was prosecuted in 1967 for a series of unrelated rapes. He was convicted and imprisoned for life without parole. His confessing to having murdered multiple women was disputed, and debates continued regarding which crimes he truly had committed.
