Daniel Danny Bridges, a 16-year-old from Chicago, Illinois, was murdered on August 19, 1984. He is listed as one of the victims of Larry Eyler, the so-called Interstate Killer, who operated across the Midwest between 1982 and 1984.

His body was dismembered in the bathroom, cut into eight pieces, drained of blood, and placed in six plastic bags. A janitor named Joseph Balla discovered one of the bags in a dumpster near the apartment after finding a severed human leg; law enforcement became involved and Eyler was arrested shortly afterward. Eyler was charged with multiple counts related to the killing and was convicted and sentenced to death; he later died in prison in 1994 of AIDS-related complications. Eyler confessed to numerous other murders but denied direct responsibility for Bridges’ killing, alleging an accomplice.

Bridges was the youngest of thirteen children and had a history of running away. Does anyone have memories or information about Daniel Bridges, his family, or the circumstances that led him to run away?
