Gacy found some his victims hitchhiking and at bus stops.
The remaining unknown victims could be from anywhere.
NCMEC worked with Cook County Sheriff’s Office to create new facial reconstructions for 2 of those victims, John Doe #10 and John Doe #13.
In addition to the new facial reconstructions, NCMEC has released the video above, ‘Gacy – Unsolved,’ highlighting the work of Detective Sgt. Jason Moran and Sheriff Tom Dart with Cook County Sheriff’s Office to identify the remaining victims of Gacy.
