Albert DeSalvo: "The Boston Strangler"

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the infamous case of Albert DeSalvo, the man who confessed to being the Boston Strangler. In the early 1960s, a wave of fear swept through Boston as women were found murdered in their homes, many of them sexually assaulted and strangled. As the body count grew, investigators struggled to determine whether a single killer was responsible or if multiple predators were operating at once. When DeSalvo emerged as a suspect, his detailed confessions seemed to provide long-awaited answers, but questions about his true role in the murders would persist for decades. Candice examines how DeSalvo’s troubled childhood, compulsive criminal behavior, and escalating violence may have shaped one of the most notorious criminal cases in American history, and why the mystery surrounding the Boston Strangler continues to challenge investigators and criminologists to this day.
