True Crime This Week: Boston Crime Scenes

This episode of True Crime This Week dives into two of Boston’s most infamous and enduring mysteries: the chilling 1960s killing spree attributed to the Boston Strangler—capped by Albert DeSalvo’s controversial confession, later recantation, and mysterious prison death—and the audacious 1950 Brink’s heist, where a disciplined crew of professional thieves executed a near-perfect $2.7 million robbery and evaded justice until betrayal from within unraveled their operation. Vanessa Richardson guides listeners through both cases, tracing how fear, political pressure, and well-timed confessions shaped these historic investigations and left behind questions that still haunt Boston today.
