I'm amazed. I thought DNA would prove they had the wrong man, but the hard nose cop Phil Di Natale was right all along. <br>Great work Phil. Rise in Power.

I mean, one of the surest signs they had the right guy was that the crimes stopped after he was locked up.

So strange that if he hadn’t had the first heart attack then he probably wouldn’t have caught the murderer.

Good job telling this awful story. I was a kid growing up about a mile from the Boston line during the Boston Strangler's rampage. I still remember the fear everyone, especially our mother and her and my dad's sisters felt. It was the first time any of us felt afraid of the world, realizing that there were terrible people doing unimaginably terrible things in this world. After DeSalvo's arrest, the killings stopped. And life really did return to normal. Glad that the police and scientists have confirmed that he was the guy.

The narrator – – I don’t know his name but he also narrates “I Shouldn’t Be Alive “. When I hear his voice, I suspect it’s gonna be a well-made documentary.
