The Strangler Untold

This is my story, the strangler untold. I, Al DeSalvo strangled 13 women totaled. I struck within the night of day, leaving not one clue astray. Confessing to these crimes brought me fame, but burdened my family with unending shame. Sitting in my prison cell, deep inside I hide a secret only I can tell. People everywhere still have doubt. Is the strangler really in prison, or still roaming about? Murdered in my prison cell, my secret I can now never tell.
