It is signed, “To John Gacy, best wishes, Rosalynn Carter.” It shows Mr. Gacy wearing a big “S” on his lapel, indicating that he had been given security clearance.

George Stinney, the youngest person to have gotten executed in the US, was fourteen years old when he died. He was electrocuted after being accused of killing two white girls. George Junius Stinney Jr. (October 21, 1929 – June 16, 1944), was an African American boy who at the age of 14 was convicted, in a proceeding later vacated as an unfair trial in 2014, of murdering two white girls, Betty June Binnicker, age 11, and Mary Emma Thames, age 7, in his hometown of Alcolu, South Carolina. He was executed by electric chair in June 1944, thus becoming the youngest American with an exact birth date confirmed to be sentenced to death and executed in the 20th century. In 2014 a South Carolina judge overturned his conviction on the basis that his trial and execution violated his constitutional due process rights.

Photo taken by murder victim Libby German of her alleged murderer. He remains unidentified. On February 14, 2017, the bodies of Abigail Williams and Liberty German were discovered near the Monon High Bridge Trail, which is part of the Delphi Historic Trails in Delphi, Indiana, United States, after the young girls had disappeared from the same trail the previous day. The murders have received significant media coverage because a video and audio recording of an individual believed to be the girls’ killer were found on German’s smartphone. Despite thousands of tips that have been sent to the police and the circulation of the recordings of the suspect, no arrest in the case has been made.
