Albert DeSalvo: Truth, Lies, and Thirteen Dead Women - Inside the Mind of the Alleged Boston Strangler

By Elizabeth Rae Taylor

Thirteen women dead. One man's chilling confession. But was the real killer ever caught?

Between 1962 and 1964, Boston lived in fear as a wave of brutal murders shocked the city. Women were strangled in their homes-victims ranging in age from 19 to 85. No forced entry. No signs of struggle. Just terror and silence. The media called him The Boston Strangler-a phantom who slipped through the cracks of everyday life.

Then came Albert DeSalvo: a troubled man with a history of assault, who suddenly confessed to all thirteen murders. But there was no physical evidence linking him to most of the crimes. Just his word. Was DeSalvo the monstrous serial killer behind the headlines, or a desperate man seeking notoriety?

This gripping true crime book dives deep into DeSalvo's troubled upbringing, his disturbing alter egos-"The Measuring Man" and "The Green Man"-and his shocking confession from inside a mental institution. It also explores the 2013 DNA breakthrough that finally tied him to one victim but left twelve other cases clouded in doubt.

Through psychological analysis, legal twists, and unanswered questions, this book reopens the case that refuses to die-and asks: Did Albert DeSalvo kill all thirteen women? Or was the Boston Strangler someone else entirely?

If you enjoy chilling true crime stories, complex criminal psychology, and unsolved mysteries that haunt history, this is the book you've been waiting for.
