Search for the Strangler

Nineteen-year-old Mary Sullivan was the last victim in the sensational Boston Strangler case that panicked the city and riveted the nation in the early 1960s. On January 4, 1964, handyman Albert DeSalvo confessed to the gruesome murders of 13 female victims. DeSalvo was never charged with or tried for any of the killings. No physical evidence linked him to the slayings and key investigators and psychiatrists discounted his implausible and coached confession. Now, Mary's nephew reveals the results of 10 years of research into the notorious case. Sherman re-examines the crime scenes, police investigations, prime suspects, and DeSalvo's shocking confession tapes. He presents compelling new DNA evidence, discloses his unlikely alliance with the DeSalvo family, and reveals who the real killer might be.
