Earle Leonard Nelson, otherwise known as the Dark Strangler was one of America's first known serial killers back in the 1920s. He had a crazy early life, and then went on to commit some of the most horrendous acts of violence of all time. He had over 20 known victims, but there could have been more! In Part 1 I discuss his upbringing and the crimes that he committed in 1926. In Part 2 I will discuss the crimes committed in 1927 and his capture. I hope you enjoy!
