Interesting. I didn't know the one guy had done work for Gacy.
Copied from a PTV link verifying one of the "Ripper Crew" worked for Gacy.
TRAIL'S END GRUESOME CLUES LED TO AN ALTAR IN AN ATTIC

Pay-Per-View - Chicago Tribune - Oct 12, 1987
[Robin Gecht], convicted in the attack on the 18-year-old prostitute in ... Authorities learned that Gecht twice had done construction work for John Wayne Gacy, ...
ETA: (and will be adding more shortly)
Of the three, Gecht is the only one not sentenced to death.
Ripper Crew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ETAA: Both of the Gecht's, father and son are still alive. Robin (the father) is still in Menard Correctional Center. http://www.idoc.state.il.us/subsections/search/inms.asp
David Gecht, the son (born in 1980 so too young to have participated in any Gacy crimes) is still in Pontiac Correctional Center. http://www.idoc.state.il.us/subsections/search/inms.asp
Thomas Kokoraleis is still in Indian River Correctional Center http://www.idoc.state.il.us/subsections/search/inms.asp
and Andrew Kokoraleis was executed in 99.

These guys are in for life and one already executed. Even if it was proven Robin Gecht was an accomplice of Gacy's what would it really do to benefit the families this many decades later? IMO, the defense attorney's who represented Gacy are just looking to get another 15 minutes of fame due to the recent exhumtions and attempts to identify the last 7 unnamed victims. It would be much different, imo, if there were any possible accomplice's free and not already behind bars.
