show moreOn October 15, 1983, a trapper on a private tract of land outside of Rensselaer in Jasper County Indiana found the unidentified remains of a young man. An investigation revealed that the man had been the victim of a homicide. He was dubbed 'Jasper County Doe'.
Based on similar murders of other young men in the area around the same time, police believed that Jasper County Doe was just one more victim in a string of murders committed by a serial killer that was dubbed 'The Highway Killer'. Many of his victims were young men who were found partially undressed. Police theorized that killer was targeting young gay men.
Eventually, the authorities came to believe that the killer was a serial killer named Larry Eyler.
He was responsible for the abductions and murders of several young men in the Midwest.
While Eyler was convicted and sent to prison in relation to his crimes, police still didn't know the identity of Jasper County Doe.
Eventually. DNA & genealogy gave Jasper County Doe his name back. He was William Joseph 'Bill' Lewis, and this is his story.
