DNA Test Doesn't Match Presumed John Wayne Gacy Victim

A man listed as one of the 33 murder victims of notorious Des Plaines murderer John Wayne Gacy may not have been a victim of the “Killer Clown” after all.

A body from Gacy’s house which had presumed to have been Chicago resident Michael Marino was exhumed in 2011 and DNA tests show that it was not Marino’s body, and that there is now yet another unidentified victim of Gacy’s, according to a WGN report.

Sherry Marino, Michael’s mother, always doubted that it was Michael who was found in Gacy’s infamous crawl space located under the now-demolished Des Plaines home. Michael went missing in October of 1976.

Michael’s name will now be re-entered into the missing person database and the Cook County Sheriff’s Department will be informed there could now be another unidentified Gacy victim.
