Morgan White Jr. filled in on NightSide

The early 60s was a terrifying time for women in the Boston area. A serial killer was on the loose. Albert DeSalvo, who eventually confessed to the crimes, was dubbed the “Boston Strangler” during his rape and murder spree. Joanne Desmond, Boston's first female news anchor and WBZ-TV employee, not only reported on the murders but received harassing letters from DeSalvo inquiring about her undergarments. The Boston Strangler even dropped by 1170 Soldiers Field Rd. to meet her! Desmond joined Morgan to share her story.
