Investigation Discovery: Confessions of the Boston Strangler

Investigation Discovery, sends viewers back to a time when no woman in Boston felt safe. The city finally felt a sigh of relief when, in a recorded confession, Albert DeSalvo admitted to his savage rampage and the first known serial killer in America was put behind bars. Decades later, compelling DNA analysis revealed that DeSalvo may not in fact have committed the crimes and, after all these years, the perpetrator may still be at large. Told through compelling interviews and archive footage, the documentary, airing as part of the ID Films strand, features more chilling excerpts of DeSalvo’s actual confession than ever before on any television program event.

“More than 50 years after the killing spree that paralyzed a city, this film sheds light on a confession that continues to be shrouded in skepticism and debate,” said Kevin Bennett, EVP and General Manager of Investigation Discovery. “By bringing modern day technology, new evidence is provided to one of the most notorious cases of a serial killer; shedding new light on the mystery and raising even more questions.”
