The Strangler himself caused his own capture. On October 27,1964, DeSalvo entered a young womens home. He pretened to be a detective and the women let him into her home. He proceeded to tie her to the bed and sexually assult her. Upon his departure, DeSalvo told the women sorry and left. The women was able to identify DeSalvo which led to his arrest. The police had already been looking for a man know as the Green Man. the Green man went around breaking into womens homes, tie them to the bed, sexually assault them, apologise, and leave. When he was finally identified he was arrested and sent to the state hospital for evaluation. His mental state was deteriorating. He was then sent Cambridge Prison where he met inmate, George Nassar who was on trail for murder. DeSalvo boasted to him about his sexual experience with the women, and one day metioned that he killed 13 women. Nassar contacted his lawyer, F.Lee Bailey to tell him of his discovery. Nassar was basically hoping for the 110,000 reward. Bailey interviewed DeSalvo about the murders. DeSalvo was able to tell of certaion things only known by the police. He told great detail about how he killed the women and what the crime scene look like as well as their apartments. The police now had their man but his confession was not enogh evidence to convict. There were no fingerprints and no witnesses. DeSalvo pleaded insanity for these crimes he claims to have comitted. After a while the case convicting him of murder was thrown out b/c the prosecution would not allow hi to plead insanity. There was no trial for the murders, but DeSalvo did recieve a trail for his Green Man crimes. He faced 10 counts of indecent assault and armed robbery which he pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. After the jury heared such damining evidence, they took 3 hours and 45 minutes to come up with the verdict of guilty on all charges. He was sentenced to a life term at Bridgewater. About a month later, along with two other inmates he tried to escape. This resulted in his move to a maximum security prison. Six years later on November 25,1973, DeSalvo was found dead in his prison cell. He was stabbed through the heart six times in what was called a prison brawl. About 26 years later, in 1999 new data had come available. The new information my be the driving force to reopen the Boston Strangler case. DNA evidence is being studied that may prove DeSalvo was not the murderer of the 13 women and the real killer may still be at large.
