Nobody was ever identified, tried or acquitted of the murder of Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo. Although the theories are endless, the truth is that the killer didn't leave much evidence behind.
One of the most popular theories is that DeSalvo was about to confess the identity of the 'real' Boston Strangler but was killed to silence him.

What were the controversies over the Boston strangler being guilty?
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.
