"Body 10" was one of five unidentified victims, and one of 33+ victims of serial killer John Wayne Gacy. His remains were found buried in John Gacy's crawl space.
Case[]
The skeletal remains of Body 10 were found beneath serial killer John Wayne Gacy's Norwood Park, Illinois, house at 15:05 p.m. on December 26, 1978. This victim was nude save for two reddish colored socks and was buried face-upwards approximately seven inches beneath the top soil, with his head positioned to the west, and legs and feet positioned to the east.
The estimated date of death for Body 10 is uncertain, but is tentatively assumed to be around March 15 to July 5, 1977. The hair color, length, and style of this decedent are unknown. However, he is known to have suffered a fractured left collarbone months or years before his disappearance and which had healed by the time of his death.
His burial location in the crawl space was 45 degrees next to the body of Kenneth Parker (Body 15) and nearby beside the bodies of Samuel Stapleton and Randall Reffett (Bodies 6 & 7 respectively).
