Human remains belonging to an unknown victim of the late serial killer Larry Eyler were identified nearly 40 years after they were found buried on an abandoned Indiana farm.
The remains were identified as Keith Lavell Bibbs who was just 16 years old when he was killed by Eyler, the Newton County Coroner’s Office and the DNA Doe Project announced Monday.
The four young men had been drugged and murdered by Eyler, who confessed to killing more than 20 victims before his 1994 death while on death row for the murder of 15-year-old Danny Bridges at an Illinois prison. The project began working on the case in 2020 and only had access to “highly degraded DNA” which researchers used to create a workable DNA profile in a lab process that took over two years.
The DNA Doe Project worked with the coroner’s office, Indiana State Police and the Identify Indiana Initiative to ID Bibbs.Newtown County Coroner Scott McCord said he is working to get Bibbs’ remains sent to his living relatives so he can finally be laid to rest 40 years later.Bibbs’ remains are being sent to his relatives so they can be laid to rest.“Everything’s done except for getting him back home,” he said Tuesday. “It’s been a long road getting all those kids identified.
