As the name implies, Boston and/or the Boston area. The has been much talk as to whom the real Boston Strangler was, since DNA evidence has cleared Albert DeSolvo of the last murder, that of Mary Sullivan. Even FBI agents felt the crimes were not committed by a single killer, most likely two killers working simultaniously in the same geographical area at approximately the same time. (not unheard of)
But, there are facts that cannot be ignored. Although DeSolvo was vague about some of the crimes, others he knew far too much. In all homicide investigations, police hold back certain facts as a way to weed out false confessors. DeSolvo knew unpublished facts that only the killer and the police would know. There is also the fact that the killings stopped with DeSolvo's arrest.
It is also possible that DeSolvo killed his first victim in the Boston suburb of Belmont. In Sebastian Junger's bestseller A Murder In Belmont, Junger puts forth the theory that the murder of Bessie Goldberg, circa 1962, was also the work of DeSalvo. DeSalvo was a carpenter's helper in that year, helping to add an art studio for Junger's artistic mother. Only a mile and a quarter from the Junger's home, Goldberg was raped and murdered, found in the early evening by her husband. Although another man, Roy Smith, was convicted of the crime, I'm not a big believer in coincidences, and more investigation is needed to sort out the truth.
