Tragically, Keith Bibbs was one of the victims of Chicago’s serial murderer, Larry Eyler who was convicted of murdering 21 young men and boys between 1982 and 1984 and sentenced to death by lethal injection, died of AIDS-related complications in 1994 while incarcerated on death row. He was known as “The Interstate Killer” as many of his victims were discovered close to the Interstate Highway and is also known to have killed an additional 20 more young men and boys.

On October 18, 1983, 16-year-old Keith Lavell Bibbs, of Chicago was found partially decomposed alongside an oak tree close to an abandoned farmhouse in Lake Village, Indiana. He had been dead for several months and he was partially buried, with sections of his body remaining exposed above ground, suggesting the murder had made only rudimentary efforts to bury him. Bibbs was buried alongside three other murdered victims.
