That's strange, because the bodies of Mary Sullivan and Albert DeSalvo were both exhumed for DNA testing some 20 years ago, and it was conclusively determined that there was no match. Ironic that a New York news source would be reporting this erroneous story

did you read the article?
Absolutely correct. My point was slightly more aimed at LAPD/California DA whose conduct Paul Schrade might have a thing or two to say about.Quote

I can't imagine there's anyone on the 2013 BPD payroll that gives a rat's ass about covering up a 50 year old mistake, if there was one. They're just using the most modern science to try to resolve a murder. As they even stated during yesterday's press conference, this won't even prove DeSalvo was the Boston Strangler, just the likely murderer of Mary Sullivan.

Yes. I also read the (Susan Kelly) book. I thought the case was (re)done and (re)dusted.
As I posted above, they already took DNA from DeSalvo's brother. Here is that part of the post:
Dr. Foran successfully isolated a DNA sequence and compared it to Albert DeSalvo's genes using DNA taken from his brother, Richard. The results were virtually indisputable; the semen was not Albert DeSalvo’s.
When they exhume DeSalvo, they'll find the same thing they did when they exhumed and tested the remains 20 years ago: nothing. They should instead take a DNA sample from George Nassar--there's your match.
