Indiana man, 19, identified as 1982 victim of serial killer
A 19-year-old Indiana man who was last seen alive in 1982 has been identified by authorities as a victim of the late serial killer Larry Eyler.
The remains of William Joseph Lewis of Peru, Indiana, were found by a hunter in rural northwestern Indiana’s Jasper County in October 1983.
But officials said Thursday the identification only came recently when a forensics company made a DNA testing match to his family.
Eyler confessed to at least 20 killings before dying in an Illinois prison in 1994.
