With DNA evidence DeSalvo was cleared of the 1964 murder of Mary Sullivan, reopened due to pressure from family members. I believe there has been further investigation into this case but to absolve DeSalvo of any more murders it will be based on further DNA evidence, providing it still exists in this decades old, solved case.
Unfortunately, it is more than likely that DeSalvo did commit some of these murders, if not Mary Sullivan's. In initial interviews after his capture, DeSalvo knew far too many details of some of these crimes. Details that were not publicized at anytime prior to his arrest. FBI agents that have studied this case are of the mind that there was more than one killer working simultaniously in the Boston area at that time. But, and this is a big but, this does not in any way indicate that DeSalvo is innocent in at least some of these crimes.

Why do some people think Albert DeSalvo was not the Boston Strangler?
Albert DeSalvo, aka the Boston Strangler, caused much controversy. Once convicted and imprisioned he recanted his confessions to at least 13 murdered women in the Boston area in the early 1960's. His MO (modis operandi is method of how crime is carried out) changed from middle aged or older females to younger and at least one black victim females. He used a knife in at least one murder. Modern criminal profilers know that it is not uncommon for a killer's MO to change and evolve over time. DeSalvo had a heavy-hitter in his corner also. His attorney was a young F. Lee Bailey and he was convinced that DeSalvo was not the Strangler. Even some Boston detectives felt there was more than one murderer. If this is true, the timing was perfect. After DeSalvo was arrested there were no more murders. We may never know for sure because DeSalvo was murdered by another inmate in 1973. He was 42.
