This is really encouraging.
I'm curious as to which other serial killers have DNA-tappable samples on file.
I'd love to see Henry Lee Lucas's DNA entered into the database. I think he was caught within 5 years of Gacy and he was also executed. Lucas is on record as having confessed to 600 murders at one point, but many of those are believed to have been a hoax or coaxed. It's still unclear AFAIK how many he actually committed.
If you come across more on this ESAD, keep us posted. Very interesting implications for potential victims' families and law enforcement... Thanks.
