Gacy Victim Identification Investigation Leads to Resolution of Cold Cases
Interesting developments.
Since soliciting families of potential victims to come forward, one additional Gacy victim was positively identified - 19-year-old Chicago construction worker, William George Bundy (as noted upthread). Bundy disappeared in 1976.
Bundy's sister had long suspected that her brother was killed by Gacy. She contributed to the DNA matching project which positively confirmed her brother as matching up to previously unidentified skeletal remains in the Gacy case.
In addition, nine missing persons cases have been closed since they were investigated as possible Gacy victims.
-Five of the nine suspected potential victims were found alive.
-Two suspected potential victims had died of natural causes.
-Two other missing persons cases were solved after family submitted DNA that later was matched with bodies found in other states.
