The Official Tape-Recorded Confessions of The Boston Strangler by George W. Rae. Albert Henry DeSalvo (September 3, 1931 – November 25, 1973) was an American rapist and suspected serial killer in Boston, Massachusetts, who purportedly confessed to being the "Boston Strangler," the murderer of thirteen women in the Boston area from 1962 to 1964. In 1967, DeSalvo was imprisoned for life for committing a series of rapes. However, 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. DeSalvo's crimes have been referenced in popular culture for decades. This includes multiple films depicting the case, such as The Boston Strangler (1968), in which DeSalvo is portrayed by Tony Curtis, and Boston Strangler (2023), in which DeSalvo is played by David Dastmalchian.
