Nature vs Narcissism

Born as Friederich Heinrich Karl Haarmann on October 25, 1879; Fritz was the son of father Ollie and Johanna Haarmann. He was the youngest of 6 children (2 girls and 4 boys) and was doted on by his mother; who was often described as invalid. His father was nicknamed Sulky Ollie for his gloomy and unhappy disposition. Fritz was a German serial killer with several monikers; the Butcher of Hanover, the Vampire of Hanover, and the Wolf Man; to name a few. He committed the sexual assault, murder, mutilation, and dismemberment of at least 24 young men and boys between the years of 1918 and 1924, throughout the city of Hanover; when he was between the ages of 39 and 45. He was eventually captured and sentenced for his crimes via execution in 1925

This is Part 2 of the Albert DeSalvo case. For this episode, I have Brittany joining me to discuss our thoughts on the case as a whole as well as what we think is at play here. Was it nature? Nurture? A combination? Why?
We talked lot about HOW someone would have been able to gain access to each of the victim’s homes without a struggle. As if they knew the perpetrator or trusted them for some reason. But the victimology still doesn’t add up for us. At least not if it was one killer.
QUESTION FOR YOU: Do you think DeSalvo was the Boston Strangler? What about Nassar? Do you even believe that it was one perpetrator who committed all the murders? Share your thoughts with us!
QUESTION FOR YOU: Do you know what Albert DeSalvo did for a living/as an occupation?

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.

On January 28, 1958, Charles Starkweather, a 19-year-old high-school dropout from Lincoln, Nebraska and his 14-year-old girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate, kill a Lincoln businessman, his wife and their maid, as part of a murderous crime spree that began a week earlier and would ultimately leave 11 people and 2 dogs dead.
The killer couple’s deadly road trip, which generated enormous media attention and a massive manhunt, came to an end the following day, when Starkweather and Fugate were arrested near Douglas, Wyoming. The crimes later inspired a slew of books, movies and music, including Terence Malick’s 1973 film “Badlands,” starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek, and Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 song “Nebraska.”
