Step 1 : Introduction to the question "By what name is serial killer Albert DeSalvo better known?"
Alberto DeSalvo is best known for confessing to be the "Boston Strangler". It was the 1960s and single women across Massachusetts were the target of a serial killer and rapist. When it was over, the Boston Strangler had killed 13 women. DeSalvo was never charged in the case and was found dead in his prison cell in 1973. However in 2013, a plastic water bottle that was discarded by DeSalvo’s nephew, gave police the DNA evidence they needed to bring closure to a case that had been a mystery for nearly 50 years.
