Earle Nelson, infamously known as the Gorilla Man, was a notorious American criminal, active during the early 20th century, primarily in the 1920s. He gained his eerie nickname due to his physical appearance, which often involved brutal assaults and strangulation, evoking the image of a gorilla. Nelson's criminal activities began with petty crimes, but escalated to more violent offenses, leading to the deaths of multiple women. His ruthless acts caused widespread panic, and he was eventually apprehended in 1927. After his capture, he was tried and sentenced to death, being executed in 1928.

The Boston Strangler
Between 1962 and 1964, the Boston Strangler was labeled as the person responsible for a series of murders in the Back Bay Area of Boston, MA. The victims, ranging in age from 19 to 85, were sexually assaulted and strangled, often in their homes. Albert DeSalvo, a handyman with a criminal history, eventually confessed to the killings, though doubts about his guilt linger due to inconsistencies and lack of physical evidence linking him to all the crimes. DNA evidence later tied DeSalvo to the final victim, but some experts believe more than one person may have been involved in the murders. The case remains one of the most notorious in American criminal history.
