Albert Henry DeSalvo (Part 1)

Born on September 3, 1931 in Chelsea, Massachusetts to parents Frank and Charlotte DeSalvo; Albert Henry DeSalvo who eventually confessed to being the “Boston Strangler”. From 1962 to 1964; the Boston Strangler was an American rapist and serial killer who was linked to 13 murders of women in the Boston, Massachusetts area. In 1967, DeSalvo was imprisoned for life for a series of rapes…his murder confession though, has been disputed and there remains debate around which crimes he did or not commit. But we will get more into that, later in this episode. For this episode, I tried to stick to the dates and the facts that we knew about him/his criminal life. I even went a little bit into Part 2 territory in discussing alternate suspects, but I thought it was an important detail. In part 2, We will delve more into the doubts about DeSalvo’s guilt as the Boston Strangler as well as our thoughts regarding his crimes, behavior, and some interesting pop culture connections as well.So, join us tomorrow for Part 2 - where Brittany (from Where the Weird Things Are Podcast and I will do a deep dive discussion about the case, the people involved, our thoughts regarding nature vs nurture, and much more.
