Throwback Thursday
Boston women lived in fear in the early ’60s, as the notorious Boston Strangler murdered 13 across the city. They were no longer terrified by a knock on the door after Albert DeSalvo confessed to the crimes. When this Jan. 18, 1967 photo was taken DeSalvo was leaving the Middlesex Superior Court in Cambridge following his conviction of assaulting four women in their homes in 1964. DeSalvo was convicted on 10 indictments including assault and battery, breaking and entering, and sex offenses. None of these cases were connected with the series of stranglings between June 1962 and Jan. 1964. (AP Photo)
