“My name is Albert Henry DeSalvo (September 3, 1931 – November 25, 1973) I was an American murderer and ræpįßt who I was active in Boston, Massachusetts, in the early 1960s. I’m known to have confessed to being the "Boston Strangler", a serial killer who I murdered 13 women in the Boston area between 1962–64. Due to physical evidence, my confession was believed, yet I was only prosecuted in 1967 for a series of unrelated ræpěß, for which I was convicted and imprisoned until my death in 1973. My claims to have murdered multiple women was disputed, and debates continued regarding which crimes I truly had committed.”
