An inmate confessed, but authorities have doubted his story for decades. On Thursday, citing advances in DNA testing and their own sleuthing, officials in Massachusetts said they have finally linked the confessor to one of the women, a 19-year-old girl who was the Strangler’s last victim. “We may have just solved one of the nation’s most notorious serial killings,” said Martha Coakley, the state attorney general. Albert DeSalvo, who was already in prison for unrelated crimes, confessed to all 11 killings. But he was never convicted, and pieces of his story didn’t add up. He recanted before he was killed in 1973.
