Many people close to the case felt that DeSalvo could not have been the killer of at least some of the victims of the Boston Strangler. This has proved to be the case. DeSalvo was cleared of the murder of the last victim Mary Sullivan through DNA testing.
Doubts began to surface while still in the early stages of the case immediately after DeSalvo's arrest. He seemed to be knowledgable about some of the murders and others he knew next to nothing that had not already been printed in the papers. Although he confessed he was never charged, tried or convicted in any of the Strangler murders. DeSalvo was in prison serving time for other offenses when he was stabbed to death in his own cell. With the death of DeSalvo, the opportunity to know the truth may have been buried with him.

How did the Boston strangler die?
Albert Henry DeSalvo was a criminal in Boston, Massachusetts who confessed to being the "Boston Strangler", the murderer of 13 women in the Boston area. His confession has been disputed, and debate continues regarding which crimes DeSalvo actually committed. In 1973 DeSalvo was found stabbed to death in his prison by a fellow inmate.

Is the Boston Strangler case considered an open case?
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.

It means that either the jury (or judge) found you not to be guilty of the offense for which you were arrested - or - the prosecution failed to prove its case against you. Not guilty does NOT mean the same as being found innocent!
