The Body Count: Fact or Fiction?
Here's the thing: pinning down an exact number is trickier than a Rubik's Cube competition. Officially, 13 women were linked to the Strangler. But here's the plot twist: some folks believe this number might be a tad... inflated.
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
Why the Doubt?
- Confessions are dicey: The prime suspect, Albert DeSalvo, confessed to all 13 murders. But hey, some people confess to being Elvis impersonators – doesn't mean it's true (although, that would be one heck of a story).
- Lack of evidence: Linking DeSalvo to all the crimes with hard proof? Not quite there.
So, How Many Victims Does That Leave Us With?
That, my friends, is the million-dollar question (well, maybe more like a twenty-dollar bill covered in questionable stains). Some experts say it could be as low as 11.
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
The Bottom Line:
We may never know for sure. But hey, at least it's a conversation starter, right? Just don't bring it up on a first date.

How to Avoid Meeting Your Own Strangler (Safety Tips):
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
- Always lock your doors and windows. Even if your second cousin's stepbrother's mailman swears he saw an angel delivering kittens next door.
- Don't let strangers in. "But officer, he said he was here to fix the leaky optimism in my apartment!" Stranger danger applies to everyone, even the overly cheerful repair guy.
- Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is. Don't be afraid to ditch a bad date (or a repair guy with questionable cheer).
- Invest in a good deadbolt. Because sometimes, a little extra security goes a long way.
