TL;DR Summary

Human remains found at an abandoned Indiana farm in 1983 have been identified as those of Keith Lavell Bibbs, a Chicago teenager who was a victim of serial killer Larry Eyler, also known as the "Interstate Killer." Eyler confessed to at least 20 killings before his death in 1994. Bibbs is the last of four victims found buried at the farm to be positively identified. The identification was made possible through the efforts of the DNA Doe Project, Indiana State Police, and the Identify Indiana Initiative. Bibbs' DNA was highly degraded, but after more than two years of work, a workable DNA profile was created, leading to his identification.
