Boston Strangler
Loretta McLaughlin was the reporter who first connected the murders and broke the story of the Boston Strangler. She and Jean Cole challenged the sexism of the early 1960s to report on the city's most notorious serial killer.

Crazed killer confounds cops and keeps community on caution, while columnists Carrie Coon, Chris Cooper and Keira K-Nightly chronicled the cases.
Enjoyed this quite a bit. It’s not as cinematically riveting as, say, David Fincher’s Zodiac but it also doesn’t glamorize the killer or the violence in any way. I’m always up these kinds of investigative thrillers and could watch them endlessly. Plus I have a Carrie Coon bias.
