The film was written and directed by Matt Ruskinand “follows Loretta McLaughlin (Knightley), journalist of the Record-American newspaper, who becomes the first reporter to link the 1960s Boston Strangler murders. While the mysterious killer claims more and more victims, Loretta tries to continue her investigations together with her colleague and confidante Jean Cole (Carrie Coon), yet the duo find themselves hampered by the rampant sexism of the time. However, McLaughlin and Cole bravely pursue the story at great personal risk, risking their own lives in their quest to uncover the truth.

The Boston Strangler Podcast will be hosted by the award-winning journalist and ex Boston globe journalist Dick Lehr, who knew McLaughlin and reported on the Boston Strangler case. The podcast delves into the background and tragic fate of the victims linked to the Boston Strangler case and explores why these half-century-old killings remain the subject of so much fascination.
