Episode 73 DOE ID; 'Jasper County Doe' William Joseph 'Bill' Lewis<br /> <br /> On October 15, 1983, a trapper on a private tract of land outside of Rensselaer in Jasper County Indiana found the unidentified remains of a young man. An investigation revealed that the man had been the victim of a homicide. He was dubbed 'Jasper County Doe'.<br /> Based on similar murders of other young men in the area around the same time, police believed that Jasper County Doe was just one more victim in a string of murders committed by a serial killer that was dubbed 'The Highway Killer'. Many of his victims were young men who were found partially undressed. Police theorized that killer was targeting young gay men.<br /> Eventually, the authorities came to believe that the killer was a serial killer named Larry Eyler.<br /> He was responsible for the abductions and murders of several young men in the Midwest.<br /> While Eyler was convicted and sent to prison in relation to his crimes, police still didn't know the identity of Jasper County Doe.<br /> Eventually. DNA & genealogy gave Jasper County Doe his name back. He was William Joseph 'Bill' Lewis, and this is his story.<br /> <br /> For all things DNA: ID, visit the show's homepage:<br /> DNAIDpodcast.com<br /> <br /> To Support DNA: ID on Patreon, visit this link:<br /> https://www.patreon.com/DNAID<br /> <br /> To buy DNA ID Merch, visit this link:<br /> https://www.customizedgirl.com/s/dnaidpodcast<br /> <br /> Follow DNA: ID on Social Media<br /> <br /> on Twitter at- https://twitter.com/DNAIDPodcast<br /> <br /> on Facebook at- https://www.facebook.com/DNA-ID-True-Crime-Podcast-103667495017418<br /> <br /> on Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/dnaidpodcast/<br /> <br /> This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at <a href= "https://www.spreaker.com/show/4720335/advertisement">https://www.spreaker.com/show/4720335/advertisement</a>
