Albert Desalvo was stabbed to death. He was never charged as the Boston Strangler, and quite a few people believe he confessed to the murders for his 15 minutes of fame. He was arrested and tried as the Green Man for sexual assaults, previous to that he was known as the Measuring Man. The site below has more info. The more I read about the case, and living too close for comfort, I tend to believe he wasn't, but the murders stopped when he was arrested. F. Lee Bailey should have lost his license to practice law because of this case. Instead it made him famous. "The night before he was murdered, he telephoned Dr. Ames Robey and asked him to meet with him urgently. DeSalvo was very frightened. Robey promised to meet with him the next morning, but Albert was murdered that night. Albert had asked one other person to meet with him and Robey – a reporter. Robey explained," He was going to tell us who the Boston Strangler really was, and what the whole thing was about. He had asked to be placed in the infirmary under special lockup about a week before. Something was going on within the prison, and I think he felt he had to talk quickly." http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/notorious/boston/index_1.html?sect=1 Mar 04 05, 6:49 PM
