John Butkovich was last seen on July 31, 1975 a few months prior to his 19th birthday. He worked for PDM which was owned by John Wayne Gacy. Butkovich's father went to CPD at least once a week for years begging them to look for his son. He also told CPD that they should look into Gacy as the reason for his son's disappearance. Chicago Police Department ignored Mr. Butkovich's pleas.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Translation- The earliest date for something. Which applies much more to the court proceedings than it does to CPD's approach to finding these missing boys. To their approach to any aspect of this investigation, really. Gacy should've never been let out of prison in the first place, let alone given no second thought when, on more than one occasion, his name was said by the parents of missing children and by the few victims that were able to survive the creeps murderous ways.
