A new movie about the case, 'Boston Strangler,' which stars Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon and in which Nassar is played by Greg Vrotsos, asserts in a postscript that 'George Nassar is still in prison in Massachusetts.' George Nassar, a twice-convicted murderer who said that his former cellmate Albert DeSalvo had confessed to him that he had killed the 13 women whose deaths in the early 1960s were widely attributed to the Boston Strangler, died Dec. 3, 2018 — largely out of view of the outside world — in a prison hospital in Boston.
