Barnstable A Massachusetts Town Memoir

Between June 14, 1962 and January 4, 1964, thirteen Boston women were murdered inside their locked apartments. With one exception each victim was found partially clothed and propped in a suggestive pose with a nylon stocking or undergarment tied in a decorative bow around her neck. Despite efforts by the Boston police, a special Strangler Bureau created by the Massachusetts Attorney General, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and a Hollywood psychic, and thousands of tips from ordinary citizens, the murderer was never identified while the murders lasted. In October 1964, more than ten months after the last murder, police arrested a man, and there were no more killings. Was it coincidence? Albert DeSalvo was the man arrested for the crime. He was committed to Bridgewater State Hospital and defended in courty by F. Lee Bailey. But was he the "Boston Strangler"? alan Rogers tells the true story of one of Boston's most terrifying crime sprees.Rogers, Alan is the author of 'Barnstable A Massachusetts Town Memoir', published 2003 under ISBN 9781889833521 and ISBN 1889833525.
