D-N-A tests are adding doubt whether Albert DeSalvo was in fact the murderer known as the Boston Strangler.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=04-File Tape;]

The tests show that DeSalvo may not have been the killer of a woman who was believed to be a victim of the 1960's serial killer.
An expert at George Washington University said today tests on evidence from the woman's body and from DeSalvo don't match.
The Boston Strangler struck between 1962 and 1964, sexually assaulting and killing eleven Boston-area women.
DeSalvo confessed, but later recanted. He was serving a sentence for rape when he was killed in custody.
