October 1, 2023: The Boston Strangler
Trigger Warning: This episode contains explicit content about rape and sexual assault.
Between 1962 and 1964 thirteen women were raped and strangled in their homes in the Boston area. Albert DeSalvo, a serial rapist, confessed to murdering the women. DeSalvo was never prosecuted for the murders, but he was sentenced to life in prison for committing over 300 sexual assaults. While DeSalvo has generally come to be known as The Boston Strangler, there is still lingering doubt as to the murderer’s identity.
