DNA ties Boston Strangler suspect to final victim
DNA tests confirm that Albert DeSalvo, who previously confessed to killing Mary Sullivan and 10 other women in the Boston area between 1962 and 1964, was the killer. Authorities say the match leaves no doubt he was responsible for Sullivan’s murder and most likely the Strangler, while a prosecutor notes the DNA evidence is overwhelming though some questions remain about other deaths. Casey Sherman welcomes the finding as justice for his aunt, while defense commentators caution that a match does not definitively prove sole responsibility.
