CHICAGO (AP) — A sheriff whose office exhumed the skeletal remains of eight of serial killer John Wayne Gacy’s never-identified victims said Monday that dozens of families of men who disappeared during the 1970s have come forward for DNA testing.
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said about 70 families contacted the department through its website or by calling detectives since last week’s announcement that the remains had been exhumed. Gacy killed at least 33 young men between 1972 and his arrest in late 1978.
