Between 1962 and 1964, thirteen women were raped and murdered in the Boston area. While he confessed to the crimes, there is no physical evidence that DeSalvo committed them. It is thus unclear how many of the "Boston Strangler" victims were DeSalvo's, if any. Evidence in some of the cases points to other suspects. DeSalvo was stabbed to death in his prison cell in 1973, the culprit never caught.
