Nephew Challenges Boston Strangler Confession Tapes, Doubts Killer's Identity

In 2025, Casey Sherman, the nephew of a victim in the Boston Strangler murders, continues to challenge the long-held belief that Albert DeSalvo was the notorious serial killer. Sherman, who has investigated the case for decades, believes the evidence does not support DeSalvo as the perpetrator.

Sherman points to the psychological profile developed by DeSalvo's own psychologist, Dr. Ames Robey, who stated that he did not believe DeSalvo was capable of homicide. Additionally, Sherman has uncovered 60 hours of DeSalvo's confession tapes, which he claims contain glaring mistakes and inconsistencies. The interrogation was led by a real estate lawyer with no experience in criminal investigations, who allegedly used leading questions and showed DeSalvo crime scene photos, which is considered improper procedure.
