Randall Wayne Reffett, a 15-year-old white male, disappeared in May 1976 and was later identified among the victims of John Wayne Gacy. Reffett died on May 14, 1976, in Norwood Park Township, Cook County, Illinois; his remains were recovered from the crawl space beneath Gacy’s house on December 25, 1978. Identification was confirmed by matching a Weiss Memorial Hospital X-ray of his jaw and teeth to the remains on April 11, 1979.

The case is one of the series of murders attributed to John Wayne Gacy, who targeted young men and boys between 1972 and 1978 and buried many victims in the crawl space of his home. Gacy was arrested in December 1978, later convicted of multiple murders including Reffett’s, and received the death penalty.

Does anyone have memories of Randall or information about his life before May 1976 that could add to his story?
