About Albert DeSalvo
- Albert Henry DeSalvo (September 3, 1931 – November 25, 1973) was a criminal in Boston, Massachusetts who confessed to being the "Boston Strangler", the murderer of 13 women in the Boston area from 1962 to 1964.
- It was widely believed that DeSalvo was imprisoned for a series of the rapes.
- However, DeSalvo was paroled in April 1962 and was released from jail.
- Despite this, his murder confession has been disputed, and debate continues as to which crimes he actually committed. In July 2013, DNA was matched between seminal fluid found at the rape and murder of Mary Sullivan and DNA obtained from DeSalvo's nephew, linking DeSalvo to the murder of Sullivan and excluding 99.9% of the remaining population.
- Authorities exhumed DeSalvo's remains later that month and confirmed the DNA match.
