Serial Killer Documentary: Albert DeSalvo (The Boston Strangler)

Published 2023-12-12
Between June 14, 1962, and January 4, 1964, thirteen women in the Boston area were victims of a single serial killer or possibly several killers. In the early cases, the middle-aged and elderly women were obscenely posed, leaving a very distinct signature. Later cases were quite different, involving young women. The women of Boston were in a panic over the unsolved murders.

    Thank you for this detailed story. My Father was one of the prison gaurds at Bridgewater State prison when this man(Boston Strangler) was there. He even played cards with him while waiting for appts in the waiting rooms and interrogation rooms. My Dad said the man was likeable but gave him an uneasy,creepy feeling. My Dad never said much about this person except he believed he did it. Now I know why he didnt give me any details or in fact tell me about this until I was much older since I was a young child in the 60s.

    How horrible this was for the women. They were so violated before being killed. Then their bodies were posed in the most embarrassing way possible for numerous police to see. And their photo to be taken for people to see them like that forever. He violated them before and after death. A true monster.

    Does anybody else get the feeling the Patricia Bassett was killed by her boss. Let's just say he knows that there is a serial killer on the loose. His secretary, with whom he has been sleeping, tells him that she's pregnant when he comes to pick her up for work. He tells her it's not his, or that she needs to get an abortion, she gets angry and says she's going to tell everyone including his wife. He gets angry strangles her and then decides to make it look like this other serial killer. Whoever it was trying to hide the deed. That's why the blankets were pulled up to her neck. This one looks like an outlier.

    I had confidence in you, SKD, that you wouldn't disappoint me. You are such a kind person, and I am grateful for that. I was getting restless because there was nothing new on true crime Tuesday. Sending lots of love to you and your team.❀❀

    Hmmm....this is a tough one. There seems to be more than one MO and thus more than one killer. Not sure about Desalvo though. Wish he had been able to speak before his death! This video has me all flustered! Thanks Doc! I love it!!!
  • @meese9140
    I think about this case a lot because there had to have been at least 3 killers 😟
  • Thank you SKD for another interesting and insanely informative case. You never disappoint! Have a wonderful day.

    Great one to cover. Just getting into bed so this has timed really nicely πŸ˜€ cheers guys ✌
  • Reminds me of the Henry Lee Lucas case. He was a murderer, but didn't commit every murder he confessed to. The police were encouraging him because they wanted to close cases. Of course, it was a little more obvious in Lucas's case, when he'd confessed to around 400 murders all over the country.
