I have several relatives in the area around that prison, sometimes referred to as Cedar Junction. DeSalvo was one of the inmates who made things in the shop for sale to the public. One Christmas, my brother thought it would be a neat joke to buy our mother a necklace made by "The Boston Strangler." It wasn't a choker, but it did have a card with the autograph made by Albert DeSalvo. This is all true, and I respectfully request Dr. Grande to comment on my Brother's possible state of mind for coming up with such a jest.

Do you remember if they were really "chokers" and whether he put "The Boston Strangler" under his name on the card?

Are you still around Boston? I actually live and grew up in Nashua. Finally landed up at UNH Manchester. Those were the days though. Boston in the 60’s. Lol

your videos are the best part of my day, hope you're doin well doc 😊
You’re so funny! “They can have my bacon when they pry it from my cold dead hands” 😂😂😂🥓
The bacon 🥓 outtakes had me rolling on the floor. I love that Dr. Grande couldn’t even keep a straight face at times. The analysis is great and so is the dry humor!
Dr. Grande, will you do a Q&A when you reach 500K?
You’ve motivated me to go back to school for my Ph.D. in bacon management.
Dr. Grande, the way that you weave the humorous bits into your presentation amplifies their comedic effect. I nearly experienced sudden incontinence over the bacon remarks 🤣
I need to remind myself to wait to sip my coffee until I'm done watching these videos. I always knew bacon was dangerous.
After a long Monday, this notification is exactly what I needed. Looking forward to this analysis as always 😊
Hi Dr Grande! I was wondering if you could do an analysis if Philip Markoff, the Craigslist Killer? I enjoy your channel very much.
I don't know ... "The Boston Bacon Burglar" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Dr. Grande, you are the greatest thing since sliced bacon!
You laughing at your own dad jokes warmed my heart.
I was sitting here eating donuts and drinking coffee then all of the sudden the "bacon bits" came into play and that coffee was coming out of my nose 🤣 Nice one Doc! Thanks I needed that 👍✌
I should probably be in a bacon diversion program - I have come perilously close to doing serious harm to people who interfere with my enjoyment of pork products.
Dr. Grande talking about the *real* issues. Bacon related offenses are off the charts. edit: spelling
This time of the night is always the time when I just let go of anything I'm doing, sit down and enjoy an incredibly well done and informed video by Dr. Grande. It has become a ritual, and it's definitely one of the good ones. Thank you, Doc!
Hope you're doing well Dr. Grande. I can't even begin to explain how much I've learned from watching your channel. Thank you so much for making these videos.
Dr Grande, thank you so much for giving all your fans something in life to look forward and definitely changing our outlook on ourselves and people around us.
I absolutely love your calm composure and your analysis they’re always dead on!
Dr Grande, I’ve watched at least 50 of your videos. While you insert dry humor here & there, it is truly impressive that you have never done so at the expense of the memory or honor of any of the victims of crime✨ Incredibly well done ✨
I died when you showed the gag reel at the end! Keep it up Dr. Grande! You’re the best 😂😂❤️
Seriously, this brings out my inner "tough on crime" voice. Bacon is a prvilidge. If you are in prison for a felony no bacon for you.
Stellar dissection! Thanks for the hard work you put into these! Cheers Doc!
It's so rewarding to visit the Dr. Grande archive on those rare days in which he takes a well-deserved day off. The take-outs at the end are classic!
Please cover Julius & Ethel Rosenberg. Thanks Dr. Grande.
This was great, lol especially the blooper ends Bacon is truely something to die for
Killin' me...no pun intended. That was a good one. I do believe DeSalvo was the strangler. Although I was very little living in Boston I do remember the look of terror on my Mom's face every time the door bell rang.
I love the humor sprinkled throughout your videos, Dr. Grande!
I would love a video on dissociative identity disorder vs emotional numbing/vacancy because sometimes I feel like I disassociate but its generally a numbing and not a new personality
Dr. Grande...I just delight in your sense of fun and wicked sense of humour. You always make me smile!🤣🤣🤣
Haha great video the bacon made him do it lol. The Bacon Defense like that old Twinkie Defense Case in San Francisco way back. I was driving home cracking up thinking about that the cars next to me probably thought I was nuts.
Thank-you Dr. Grande for a well executed analysis. A mystery for sure. Not an easy case to unravel. Thanks again
I love your dry sense of humour, I look forward to your videos. Thank you very much.
Bacon! I love the docs deadpan approach to being comedic. Keep up the good work

Once the bacon joke dropped I knew outtakes were a strong possibility! And I was right! Bravo, Dr. G.! 👏🤣🥓🤣👏
Your humour and sassiness made my day dr G. thank you ✨
It's so nice to see you crack up...after so many years & probably still sometimes forced to keep a straight face. Your dead-pan delivery is funny too but to see you almost break out laughing out loud is also very endearing.

Just yesterday I was thinking of suggesting you analyze the Boston Strangler case and couldn’t believe it when I saw today that you did! Great job. I read somewhere that not only did the police think that there was more than one killer due to the age range of victims and the variations in how they were killed, but also similar murders continued for a time after DeSalvo was incarcerated... maybe a copy cat or maybe he wasn’t the Strangler after all...
Dr Grande, do a vid about the only strangler that matters: the Scranton Strangler
The bacon joke. LOL. I had to pause the video for a bit to fully take it in. I think this assessment is the most thorough in this case I've seen. Once again, you knocked it out of the park.
Seriously love when you add the humor at the end! 😂😂
Ok, who wants Dr. Grande to make a video of just outtakes?? *raise hand*
The takes at the end. Brilliant 🤣 love your humour Dr. Grande x
If we're going to discuss possible pork-related motives, we must remember that there was no scrawled message, "stop me before I grill again," which seems to weaken that argument. Seriously, after everything I've read over the years, I can't help thinking that DeSalvo was not THE Boston Strangler, if in fact there was only one. The only DNA evidence linked him to the killing of Mary Sullivan, who was believed to be the last Strangler victim, so if guilty, perhaps he was copy-catting, All in all, the Boston Strangler case will probably be a basis for lively discussion for decades to come. Thanks for another fascinating video, Dr. Grande!
Dodged your conclusion with bacon humor. Smooth Dr Grande
I usually comment on the content but man those outtakes were hilarious!

On a more serious note, a poster on another board I patronize said he grew up in Germany with Albert DeSalvo's kids. It was well known that his wife divorced him after he was charged with being the Boston Strangler, and relocated back to her native Germany with the kids. (They had met when he was stationed there in the Army.) The kids were preschoolers, and were told that their father had died in a car accident, and only found out the truth as young adults. Of course, they were completely traumatized.
