Whether it was ever closed I have not been able to verify, but the files have been dusted off and are being reworked by cold case detectives after DNA testing has eliminated Albert DeSolvo as the murderer of Mary Sullivan, the last victim in the series of murders known as the Boston Strangler killings.

What many people are not aware of is DeSolvo was never charged with the Strangler crimes and was in fact serving time for other crimes when he was stabbed to death in his prison cell. After his arrest, DeSolvo confessed to the Strangler crimes and while he knew far too much about certain murders, others, he didn't have a clue, giving weight to the theory that there was more than one killer at large in the Boston area.

Whatever the case, it will be very interesting to see what cold case investigators will turn up in one of the the most facinating crimes in American history.

If Albert DeSolvo didn't kill Mary Sullivan are they looking for the real killer?

With recent DNA evidence clearing Albert DeSolvo of the murder of Mary Sullivan her case is considered open. Sullivan, thought to be the last victim of the Boston Strangler, was murdered in her apartment on January 4, 1964. The Boston PD had a suspect and was preparing to make an arrest when DeSolvo confessed to the murder. It is possible the case may be reworked by cold cases detectives. Time will tell.
