William Wayne Billy Kindred was 19 when he was killed on February 16, 1978, in Norwood Park Township, Cook County, Illinois. His remains were later identified through dental records because the exact date of death had initially been unknown.

Kindred was one of the known victims of John Wayne Gacy. Many victims, including Kindred, were buried in the crawl space of Gacy’s home; others were discarded in the Des Plaines River.

Gacy was arrested on December 21, 1978, convicted of 33 counts of murder, and sentenced to death on March 13, 1980. He was executed by lethal injection on May 10, 1994. Do readers have any memories of Kindred or information about his life before February 1978 that could help preserve his story?
