TL;DR

The new Hulu series "Boston Strangler" tells a story that differs from the real-life events of the infamous serial killer case. The show depicts a conspiracy theory that there were multiple killers, but the real-life reporter who broke the story, Loretta McLaughlin, never believed in this theory. The evidence overwhelmingly points to Albert DeSalvo as the killer, and new DNA evidence confirmed his link to the last victim.
