John Wayne Gacy, center, and former business associate Jim Van Vorous were hosts at a bicentennial party July 4, 1976, at Gacy’s home in unincorporated Norwood Park Township. 
John Wayne Gacy murdered 33 young men and boys between 1972 and 1978, burying most of the victims in the crawl space beneath his home. Gacy confessed to the brutal killings after being arrested on Dec. 21, 1978. Twenty eight of the bodies have been identified, but five remain nameless.
Francis Wayne Alexander is the latest victim to be identified, using matching DNA from a genealogy website.
