When I was working midnights as a BHA cop, Boston magazine published a story on the Boston Strangler with all the addresses of the murders, with pictures of each address. One Sunday night after the radio quieted down, my partner and I went on a "Strangler Tour", where we went to all the addresses in the city (some Strangler victims were killed outside Boston). It was really interesting....some locations hadn't changed a bit, some looked much different, and some buildings weren't even there anymore. It was eerie, in a way, knowing that someone had been killed at each spot.
