DeSalvo was sent to await trial at Bridgewater State Hospital, a state facility for the criminally insane, and it was there that he allegedly confessed to his cellmate, George Nassar , that he was responsible for the murders associated with the Boston Strangler case. Nassar relayed the confession to his lawyer, famed defense attorney F. Lee Bailey , who took on DeSalvo as a client when he became the prime suspect in the case.
