It's where we let our guard kick off our shoes and relax we're fiercely protective of our homes. We install alarm systems and train family pets to stay alert to intruders. Despite all these precautions, we let strangers into our homes all the time when we order take out a stranger livers food to our door. Cable internet providers still send their employees to homes to install services and we let them inside

gas companies and their employees to read your homes, gas meter. We don't know them, but we trust them because their performing service there just doing their jobs. We think they can possibly be a danger to us. We assume bite in nineteen. Sixty three, the Boston strangler took advantage of that kind of trust. Nineteen sixty two to nineteen, sixty four, the infamous criminal raped and murdered thirteen women inside of their homes in the Boston area these crimes are primarily attributed to a military veteran named Albert Desalvo, though his Parliament in all thirteen murders, continues to be debated. Boston strangler did not forced his way into victims. Homes he gained in by posing as a detective motorists in distress and a scout for modeling agency. Those

so identities helped him gained the victims, trust, so they let him inside their homes. At some point after entry, he raped and strangled most this victims with pieces of clothing. Additionally, one victim was also stand, and beaten Desalvo confessed to committing all thirteen murders after being arrested for breaking and entering a home police did not trust his statement. It contained several inaccuracies and police were unable to find physical evidence that linked him to the killings. Desalvo was sentenced to life in prison in nineteen. Sixty seven for a separate series of rapes that happened years later, Boston police announced a breakthrough in the Boston strangler case in twenty thirteen taking place nearly half a century after the first murder and forty years after to sell those mysterious death on July eleven twenty thirteen boss, police announced that the salvos dna matched seminal fluid

on the final Boston, strangler victim, Mary Sullivan, who was killed in Nineteen sixty four, a Suffolk superior Court judge authorize the exclamation of dissent, most remains for confirmatory testing that we expect will prove to sell those guilt once and for all. However, even after that discovery to sell those identity as the Boston strangler continues to be disputed. In this case, it all comes down to one main question: how much do you trust Albert Desalvo hi, I'm Gregg pulsing, and this is serial killers today. We're going to take deep dive into the life of Albert Desalvo, who admitted to raping and strangling thirteen women as the infamous Boston strangler with my co host Vanessa Richardson

this is not a licence, ecologist psychiatrists, but has done a lot of research for the show. My everyone we'd like to ask a quick, favor, leave a five star review of serial killers on your favorite podcast directory. It seems so simple, but it really helps us out and don't forget subscribe while you there, because a new episode comes out every Monday, you can also find us on Facebook and Instagram at PAR cast and on Twitter at Park ass network. Desalvo was never convicted of all thirteen murders and sexual salts committed by the Boston strangler, but he did serve jail time for separate charges of lewd conduct and breaking and entering as well as for the green man, rapes, psychologists, diagnosed Desalvo, with schizophrenia, paranoid type, with a sociopath personality. Desalvo certainly fit the description of a sociopath He repeatedly violated the rights of other people, p conned people for pleasure

and disable was superficially charming and aggressively sexual, his defence iter, a flea Bailey described salvo is having quote one of the most Crushing sexual drives that psychiatric science has ever encountered even before the Boston strangler murders occurred. Desalvo had a criminal record that was clear police breaking into homes many times over the course of several years in the cases the victim, let desalvo into their homes, voluntarily events How is it desalvo able to gain the trust of these victims so easily? Why are people so trusting of total strangers a recent study by the American Psychological Association, found that here when beings often trust strangers. As a sign of respect, the study found that our tendency the trust others has nothing to do with how trustworthy we think the personnel or might be. We trust little strangers out of a sense of moral obligation and duty, basically, human,

Things don't want to be seen as rude to each other, so we give each other the benefit of the doubt. Nell universities, Doktor David Dunning, is the lead author of the study and said quote. Trusting others is what people think they should do and emotion such as anxiety or guilt associated with not fulfilling a social duty or responsibility. May account for my the excessive trust observed between strangers every day. End quote in it. Many crimes Albert Desalvo betrayed this, underline trust of the women he attacked and murdered over the course of his life. All of this was murder victims were women psychologically, are whim more trusting than men. Psychologists have on that men and women do trust differently and the way that the genders trust each other varies as well: a study The journal of economic Behaviour and organization revealed through an investment game. That men, asked more so than women, but women felt more.

Obligated to both trust and reciprocate trust in people they have interacted with the experiment had both Men and women each send ten dollars to a stranger only knowing the recipients, gender, then Receiver would return the money plus their own funds. If they choose the result, women tended to reach, in the ten dollars and additional money to the stranger. The study showed that sample size of women felt more obligated to do so. Men did not do so in the experiment. We should note here that this is not the fault of the victor. And we're not placing blame on the women in any way. Desalvo clearly took advantage of this during his crimes, disabled raid on the trust of women throughout as criminal life, the boss. The stranglers sexual assaults and killings occurred from June 14th, one thousand nine hundred and sixty two until January 14th, one thousand nine hundred and sixty four half Boston, strangler murders occurred, Desalvo sexually assaulted for different women in four separate towns on May sixth, nineteen sixty four

Four in the morning and midday hours and all the victim survived. Otherwise known as the green man for these assaults, because he wore green work pants and posed as a building maintenance worker at October 27th, one thousand nine hundred and sixty four desalvo broke into a woman's home in EAST Cambridge. He posed as a police officer and said quote. You know me: he held a knife to her throat, stuffed your underwear in through mouth and tied her to the bed. Disalvo Kister fondle. Her I've been asked her how to exit the apartment describe the perpetrator is, having quote slick, black hair, a crooked nose at a medium, build and wearing a green shirt and green slacks. The description led right to Desalvo on November. Third, one thousand nine hundred and sixty four Boston police arrested. Desalvo

without assault and sent his mug shot to a six date. Teletype network Connecticut detectives noticed his face and crime description matched the green man sexual assaults. In March, nineteen sixty five desalvo confessed to just to EAST Cambridge assault and the green man rapes, but hundreds of other sexual assaults, disabled, told sergeant LEO Davenport, quote I'd committed more than four hundred breaks in this area and this a couple of rapes, No about Desalvo had a tendency to exaggerate and aggrandize when speaking to police, a behavior that many serial killers display criminologists, have found that serial killers, like Desalvo, actually enjoy talking about the heinous crimes that they have committed. Even to law enforcement, they seemed to show a lot of pride in the unspeakable things they have done.

Clinical psychologist and Arthur Doktor, Martha Stout, said that sociopath, like Desalvo, tend to be dishonest. She said that sociopath are often quote lying for the sake of lying lying just to see whether you can trick people Davenport took Desalvo to Cambridge were Desalvo, pointed out fifteen apartments that he had broken into without any different T Desalvo had an ominous response. It will all come out LEO you'll find out the Boston strangler murders did occur in Cambridge was dissolved, talking about the assaults he was arrested for or his recent confessions committing the Boston strangler murders, or could he had been, fearing to one of his many past crimes. In order to answer those questions, let's take a look at the salvos early life to see just how Albert Salvo, the young man could become Albert Salvo, the Boston strangler

In November nineteen, forty three twelve year Old Albert Desalvo was arrested for the first time charged with assault in battery with intent to commit robbery in plain English, young Albert Beach, and tried to rob the youngest boy.

He wore his soldiers uniform and said that quote. He was here for the rent desalvo asked if he can go inside the those young Lucy, let desalvo into her house, unaware that he was not there to collect the rent. He was planning to assault the girl We return to our story in just a moment from the Parkhurst network and now back to our story nine year, Old Lucy wasn't alone, but Desalvo. Her two brothers were home at this time to Billy, who was eight years old and one year old, Alan. At one point, all three children were with desalvo. When the house is living room, but then Billy took Alan back to his crib This moment alone, Desalvo touched Lucy's chest and between her legs she recalled the following quote: I said: stop it, but he said I won't hurt you and quote her brother Billy returned to the living room and desalvo.

In addition, the? U S army did not disciplined desalvo for his actions. Is the only known case in which Desalvo molests child Vanessa. What does this insane and tell us about the state of mind at this point other several different categories of child abusers accord, to the U S, office of sex offender, sentencing, monitoring, apprehending, registering and tracking or smart Desalvo fits the description of a regressed child, sexual abuse, who prefers socializing and sex with adults. Regressed child abusers, though, will become sex really involved with children. If an opportunity presents itself end quote as a result of life stresses end quote at the time. The assault on January. Third, one thousand nine hundred and fifty five his wife was pregnant with their first child desalvo could have been stressed about it, but that of course, does not excuse his despicable actions. A few months later,

In nineteen, fifty five m guard and Albert Salvos daughter Judy was born. The baby girl was, and with a rare pelvic disease, and she were especially fitted. Removable casts to correct your hip Albert used to tie big colorful boughs and cast to keep it around duties. Leg. Your guard, though, was much less optimistic about Judy's physical condition. Your guard became fear. Full of becoming pregnant with another child who suffered a mental or physical disability. Albert wrote that following in a letter to em guard quote, you were frigid and cold to me and you can't deny This that's why we were always fighting about sex because you was afraid to have a baby air I even asked doctors what was wrong with our sex life and all they said until, I have another baby and it is born normal. Will you then be free to love again to put this letter in context? It was written in March, one thousand nine hundred and sixty five

once Desalvo was already charged with the green man, sexual assaults and he had just confess to being the Boston strangler while under hypnosis That's right, there's a good chance that he had written this letter not to communicate with em guard, but in an effort excuse his actions. Albert's discuss Some of them are one sided. Marriage, however, sounds like what a typical relationship with a sociopath would be like Doktor, Martha Stout Road in her book, the sociopath next door quote once the surface charm is scrape off their marriages? Are loveless one sided and all always short term. If a man, each partner, has any value to the sociopath. It is because the partners it is a possession one that this she'll path, may feel angry to lose. But were sad or accountable. End quote, in fact Albert expressed, fear, Armed guard would divorce him once he asked his attorney. Robert shine felt

if a guy's insane can she divorce him end quote the at the time, was no Massachusetts, I did not allow it. Albert was utterly discharge from the army on February, fifteenth nineteen, fifty six at age, twenty five! and he wanted a new start for his family.

Nearly a year later, he was arrested for breaking and entering on January eighth, one thousand nine hundred and fifty eight on the judge, gave him a suspended sentence. Police arrested twenty seven year Old Albert Desalvo, again on February 15th, one thousand nine hundred and fifty eight and charged him with breaking into two houses. During the day he told the judge that he needed money to buy Irum Garden Judy presents for Valentine's day The story convince the judge to give Desalvo another suspended sentence that he did not have to serve. He received yet another suspended sentence for breaking and entering on April 18th. One thousand nine hundred and fifty eight Vanessa. Why would you sell those continue to break an egg Holmes, after getting caught consummate times. What is the psychology behind that kind of crime? Psychologists have found that, like most crimes breaking and entering gives perpetrators of certain thrill. It's also important to note

Desalvo is gotten more and more bold with each crime. This is a common pattern of behaviour. If a criminal get the way with a crime, often they'll start to push their boundaries for Desalvo seem to also find a sexual thrill to these crimes although said quote, I think now too, that it had something to do with go. Into the bedrooms where women had been sleeping, and there were two times when I would get a rail and quote meaning he got an erection, but come desalvo with a jail time on so many repeat, offences of breaking and entering well breaking in. During is, of course, seen as less serious in comparison to other crimes like murder. When it comes to suspended sentences, the conviction is public record, but the parliament is not enforced. As long as the defendant follows the conditions of the suspension. A condition could be, for example, that the perpetrators must commit another crime during the probationary period, according to master,

Its law violation of probation doesn't necessarily trigger jail time, though design we also had the benefit of retaining his family's longtime lawyer Robert Shine felt the law we'll veteran and jack of all trades practiced law above a Resnick drugstore in Chelsea, and he had Albert Desalvo, since he was a child, it is possible. Shine. Dulled may have represented Albert's father, Frank Desalvo during his brushes with the law. Shine. Also helped Albert's parents get divorced and shine fell, defended Albert Desalvo in each of his breaking and entering charges. Some sources credited shine. Legal scale with helping Albert avoid jail time. There is also the possibility that Albert made got lucky and appeared before many lenient judges in court after six huskily, avoiding jail time. In those cases. Albert s garden, Judy Desalvo Travel to Germany for two months trip in June. Nineteen. Fifty nine
