In 1965, Albert DeSalvo confessed to being the Boston Strangler, who had killed 13 women in a year-long rampage that had terrorised the city. But there have always been doubts about the validity of DeSalvo's confession and conviction. Who Was the Real Boston Strangler? chronicles the controversy surrounding the case, from the fact that the tapes of DeSalvo's police interrogation have never been released, to the strange circumstances surrounding the book The Boston Strangler, in which the author definitively declares DeSalvo to be the killer, despite having only second-hand information obtained through F. Lee Bailey, DeSalvo's attorney.
