Murder of Timothy McCoy

Timothy Jack McCoy (May 14, 1955 – January 3, 1972) was an American murder victim from Omaha, Nebraska. He is the first known victim of American serial killer and sex offender John Wayne Gacy, who murdered, raped and tortured at least 33 young men and boys between 1972 and 1978. He was murdered by Gacy on January 3, 1972, in Chicago, Illinois, and was buried in the crawl space of his home. McCoy's corpse was not found for nearly seven years until December 1978, where his body along with several others were recovered and was conclusively identified on May 9, 1986, via dental records, 14 years after his death.

Prior to his identification, McCoy was known as the Greyhound Bus Boy, which was in reference to the Greyhound Bus Terminal in Chicago, Illinois, where he first encountered Gacy and eventually disappeared. After his identification, his remains (which were buried under an unmarked gravestone) were returned to his family in Glenwood, Iowa. Provided by Wikipedia
