About this episode

This episode provides an update on the DNA results related to missing hunter Bob Christian and the investigation into the victims of John Wayne Gacy.

Last year, Wisconsin detectives requested that the four unidentified victims of Chicagoland serial killer John Wayne Gacy be compared to a missing 18-year-old hunter named Bob Christian.
