DNA Results In Strangler Case Cast Doubt
New DNA testing on Mary Sullivan’s remains found DNA from two people other than Sullivan, not matching Albert DeSalvo. James Starrs says this strongly indicates DeSalvo was not the killer. Soshnick cautions the results do not prove innocence in Sullivan’s murder or other cases. The Boston Strangler killed 11 women between 1962 and 1964, including Sullivan on January 4, 1964. DeSalvo confessed but was never charged and later recanted.
