AVMA Take 2

help

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

[Rosie] Mack the Knife? NO, it's a real person, as previously established.

The Boston Strangler?

[Software] Boston Strangler? NO

This shouldn't really take long, now that we've established that it's a real American serial killer, who lived in died in under 50 years, some time between 1901 and 2000.
A curious aside: no-one was ever arrested, charged or convicted of the "Boston Strangler" murders, and criminal theorists now believe that more than one person was involved.

Thanks Phil. That narrows it down to a hundred or so.

Fried?

That should narrow it down considerably.

Was this 'gentleman's' fate (read death) brought about by a fellow prison inmate?
