message: I don't know how to suggest it any better than this but the article on the Boston Strangler is mostly the same information. I think it should be merged. Gregory j 00:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with 'Boston Strangler' 

message: Not entirely sure of wiki guidelines so I figured I'd ask here:
Imitation in Death - Nora Roberts: 
The serial killer in this novel copycats as various serial killers, including the Boston Strangler. 
Is this relevant?

message: Some followers of the case said Nassar was the real strangler and fed DeSalvo details of the murders so DeSalvo could confess and gain notoriety or through Nassar get the reward money to help support DeSalvo's wife and two children.
I think that this sentence is awkward, too long and may be a run on sentence.
A suggested rewrite of this sentence: Some followers of the case said Nassar was the real strangler and that Nassar fed DeSalvo details of the murders.  DeSalvo could then confess and gain notoriety or, through Nassar, DeSalvo could get the reward money which could help support DeSalvo's wife and two children.

message: On BBC TV news broadcast today relating with the discovery or new analysis of DNA material related to the Boston Strangler's last murder there were some black & white still photos shown. The photos showed DeSalvo in a US Navy blouse. It was unmistakabley a blue blouse with the typical back shoulder flap with three white stripes. In another photo, he was shown in a "Pea Coat", which is a USN issue uniform item. Was the USN uniform a disguise or was he a serving USN member? Since I saw it on TV, I obviously have no references, but it would improve the article to indicate what DeSalvo was doing for a living at the time.--TGC55 (talk) 00:28, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That's very interesting.  I had never heard before that DeSalvo served in the USN.  If I remember correctly, he was a "fix it man", a handyman.  But, I could be mistaken on that point.   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 03:56, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  DeSalvo arrested in USN uniform? 

message: These two articles are so intertwined it's hard to know where to put what. Seems to me the DeSalvo article should be less about the case (with some of that info transferred to the Boston Strangler article) and more about his early life and so on. --Rosekelleher (talk) 21:40, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Oppose. This has been discussed several times on the talk pages of the both articles. Since it's not known DeSalvo did all the murders I think the merge is premature. 2001:14BA:984A:F200:0:0:0:8EA (talk) 20:46, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
