The Boston Strangler

Between June 14, 1962 and January 4, 1964, were committed thirteen murders by strangulation in the city of Boston. The victims, all women, almost always show that they were rapedrepeatedly.
Six of them were between 55 and 75 years. The other five hadbetween 19 and 23. In addition, two other victims aged 85 and 69 years old, but has not been shown to have been the same murderer.
The first in a long series of victims would ŠLESERS Anna, 55.Was found by his son, strangled with the cord of his robe. Yourvagina showed evidence of sexual assault with an unknown object.His apartment showed signs of having been sacked ... or rather asif the aggressor had striven to make the scene look like a robbery...
Two weeks was killed Nina Nichols, 68. The woman had been strangled with her ​​stockings and had signs of having been sexually assaulted. The crime scene had an aspect similar to the firstvictim, every drawer was stirred and all the things scattered on thefloor like a robbery, but police found several dollars and somevaluables in the ground that the "thief "No one had bothered to go.
That very same day, about fifteen miles, Helen Blake, 65, found asimilar death.
Her apartment had also been "ransacked. "
The police sounded the alarm warning to all women in the Boston area to close and lock all doors and be extremely cautious with strangers, as it was a tough start to research.
The Bostonians detectives began to question all those men with a history in the sexual sphere: exhibitionists, rapists, bullies,bystanders ...
What they sought was a mentally ill person, possibly with anOedipus complex or hated her mother (or wife), and that theiraggression against females age considered trying to erase theimage of the mother feared.
While the research was carried out, more bodies continued to appear, all wild samples strangle and rape. But not all victims wereelderly white women. The next victims were students of 20 and 30,among whom also was a colored girl. On this occasion, themurderer left traces of semen on the carpet near the body, and aneighbor reported seeing a strange man in the building, describedas follows: about 30 years, average height, wavy hair, dark jacketand green trousers dark work.
Not long after, police found a new body with 22 stab wounds, in addition to the typical bottlenecks, but showed no signs of rape.The knife attack was found in the kitchen.
When he was older, Albert enlisted in the army, and in Germany he met his wife, Irmgard Beck, an attractive woman of a respectable family.
When their first child, she had so many problems at birth thatterrified of sex, which angered DeSalvo, whose sexual appetitewas unusually fierce and requested sex many times a day (somedays even 5 or 6 times.)
He confessed that he did not remember having committed anycrime, only remembered it as going to work and quickly returnedhome to play with their children before they go to sleep. In addition, he was very upset by the crimes that police told him.
A psychiatrist who worked with the police, James A. Brussels, came to talk about multiple personalities, and then determine thatDeSalvo was very strange that, if he does not show them tomultiple personality during psychiatric examinations. Concluded that if the cause of disturbance that led him to forget what he haddone previously was undoubtedly due to schizophrenia. Nosplitting, but a breakdown of the personality.
DeSalvo was considered insane, but was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1966.
In the psychiatric prison was stabbed to death by a cellmate in 1973.
