5 key details about the terrifying Boston Strangler case
1) From 1962 to 1964, the Boston Strangler terrorized the city’s streets.
Between June 14, 1962 and January 4, 1964, a brutal serial killer known as the “Boston Strangler” aggressively murdered women. The killer, originally from Chelsea, Massachusetts, had lived at 11 Florence Street Park in Malden, Massachusetts, during the Boston serial killings. The killer went on to slaughter 13 women after receiving an honorable discharge from the United States Army, where he worked as a military police officer.
2) All the victims of the killer are single.
All of the women whose lives were cut short by the brutal killer were unmarried and ranged in age from 19 to 85. Anna Slesers (55), Mary Sullivan (19), Mary Mullen (85), Joann Graff (23), Nina Nichols (68), Evelyn Corbin (57), Helen Blake (65), Beverly Samans (23), Ida Irga (75), Mary Brown (69), Jane Sullivan (67), Patricia Bissette (23), and Sophie Clark were among those who participated ( 20).
Anna Slesers, whose body was found by authorities on June 14, 1962, at 77 Gainsborough Street in Boston, was her first victim. Mary Sullivan, the last victim of the infamous Boston serial killer, was found dead on January 4, 1964, at 44-A Charles Street in Boston.
3) The killer kills the majority of the victims after sexually assaulting them.
According to DNA evidence, the majority of Boston killer victims were sexually assaulted and tortured before being killed. The killer mostly killed his victims by strangling them with clothes in their homes. No signs of forced entry were found at the victim’s residence, indicating that they all knew the killer. According to reports, the killer’s first victim died of a heart attack. Two of the victims were brutally hacked to death, and another was brutally assaulted.
4) In 1967, Albert DeSalvo confessed to being the Boston killer.
Albert DeSalvo, a Boston resident, was arrested on charges of sexual assault on February 25, 1967. While in custody, he readily confessed to being the infamous Boston Strangler. Although there was no real evidence linking him to all 13 murders at the time, the man’s shocking revelation led him to be considered an accused murderer.
5) Albert DeSalvo was murdered.
Although the killer’s lawyer asked the judge to rule on insanity, Albert was sentenced to life in prison. At this time, his lawyer allegedly stated:
“My goal is to get the Strangler into a facility so medical professionals can find out what drove him to kill. Research that could help prevent other mass murderers living among us, waiting for the spark inside them, has been lost to society.”
On November 25, 1973, while in prison, the man was hacked to death by another inmate.
