I was looking through the missing children in Illinois and came across a Doe and a possible match. What do you think? I attached the screenshots of the cases.

Did you check if he was ruled out? The Doe is one of Gacy’s victims, one of the last who has yet to be identified.
The missing person does look similar and the town is an hour and half from the Gacy home.

I was just reading in another thread that it was possible he was already ruled out. I'd love to confirm that though. The details just seem to fit so well. It'd be great to use new DNA evidence on this specific case.

I just checked on NamUs and Kelly was ruled out... they did a tv special and I believe they did dna testing on all the victims which is how the others got identified. Not so long ago, half of them were still unidentified...

Wow strange only a town away and the recon looks similar to the missing guy. I often wonder how many times a person fails to get identified because of Human Error.

You're right, this is him. I checked for news when I saw his page was removed and I saw the articles from 2021, but thought it would be a bit late to have his profile removed after a year and a half and didn't check further.
