The last known records of Alexander's life were traffic tickets he received, the last of which came in January 1976. Born in North Carolina, he and his family moved to New York, where he eventually got married before moving to Chicago in 1975, where he soon divorced. Jason Moran shared what they knew about Alexander. In 2017, it identified a second set as those of 16-year-old Jimmy Haakenson, who disappeared after he phoned his mother in Minnesota and told her that he was in Chicago.Дart and Lt. Within weeks, the sheriff's office announced that it had identified one set of remains as those of William Bundy, a 19-year-old construction worker. But Dart's office exhumed the eight sets of remains in 2011 and called on anyone who had a male relative disappear in the Chicago area in the 1970s, when Gacy was trolling for victims, to submit DNA. Three other victims were found buried on Gacy's property and another four people whom Gacy admitted killing were found in waterways south of Chicago.Д®ight victims, including Alexander, were buried before police could determine who they were. We can now lay to rest what happened and move forward by honoring Wayne.вЂќДЄlexander's remains were among 26 sets that police found in the crawl space under Gacy's home just outside the city. Our hearts are heavy, and our sympathies go out to the other victimsвЂ™ families. вЂњHe was killed at the hands of a vile and evil man. вЂњIt is hard, even 45 years later, to know the fate of our beloved Wayne,вЂќ Sanders wrote in a statement released by Dart's office. Though Dart said Alexander's mother and other relatives didn't want to speak publicly about his identification as a Gacy victim, Alexander's sister, Carolyn Sanders, made clear that the family never stopped thinking of what might have become of him. вЂњThey just loved him, but they thought that he wanted nothing more to do with them, so thatвЂ™s why there was never a missing personвЂ™s report,вЂќ Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said at a news conference Monday announcing the latest victim identification.

The way they saw it, Alexander had cut off communication with them because he wanted to be left alone. вЂњWe had to make some adjustments at this time but the process worked effectively,вЂќ Peters said.When the discovery of more than two dozen bodies stashed under John Wayne Gacy's house near Chicago was making headlines all over the world in the late 1970s, Francis Wayne Alexander's family in New York didn't think much of it.

Prison officials insisted that the process does not require further scrutiny, insisting that it has worked efficiently in scores of tests. In 1990, the execution of Charles Walker was also interrupted by a malfunction in the injection device. The incident marked the second time since Illinois officials reinstituted the death penalty that the lethal injection process has been flawed by malfunctions. Technicians shut down the process when they noticed the chemical вЂњgelling or clotting in the line,вЂќ Peters said. The execution was delayed for several minutes, Peters said, because of a malfunction in the syringe that pumped pancuronium bromide, a synthetic muscle relaxant, into GacyвЂ™s veins. вЂњHe just laid there and appeared to be asleep,вЂќ Peters said. Within minutes, synthetic curare slowed his respiration and potassium chloride stopped his heart. Peters III said Gacy вЂњtook a deep breath and dozed offвЂќ as a sedative took effect.

Illinois prison officials and witnesses to the execution said Gacy, 52, was pronounced dead by a prison physician at 12:58 a.m. Supreme Court turned down his final appeal for a stay.
