Gacy victim is identified

POLICE have identified a 19-year-old Chicago construction worker who disappeared in 1976 as one of serial killer John Wayne Gacy’s eight unnamed victims.

William George Bundy was identified after sheriff’s officers asked families of young men who disappeared in the 1970s to submit DNA samples for comparison with the victims’ remains.

Gacy was convicted of murdering 33 young men, sometimes luring them to his Chicago-area home for sex by impersonating a police officer or promising them construction work.
