This is going to take some time, but let's look at boys missing and murdered between the eighties and Jan 2007.
We know Devlin liked to take long drives, but how far?

Johnny Gosch
Let me just get to the point. I know some people think he took Johnny, but he was SIXTEEN when this happened. Even if he wanted to drive all the way to Des Monies, his modus operandi seems to be holding the boys for a period of time. Not something a teenager can easily do.
David Borer
No.
I know he liked long rides, but this is ridiculous. Going to Alaska for a victim is too much.
Eugene Wade Martin

Same with Gosch. Think about it, if he DID take Johnny, what's the chances of lightning striking twice? And I think at 18 he lived with his family. Even if he didn't, it might have been hard for him to look after himself at 18, believe me.
Plus, Martin is out of the age range.
Nicholas Barclay
Hmm...
Still out of the age range (remember, Devlin thought Ben was younger), but small. Still, driving all the way to Texas seems a bit much.
Kevin Andrew Collins
Too far away.

Zachary Bernhardt
Not just the geographical location, but the kid seems to have been snatched from his bedroom, or took a stroll outside at night or early morning.

George Burdynski
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/780262/1
He DOES look a bit like the recovered boys, but unless we get more information, I don't have any solutions to offer.
Colt Levi Clark
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/1042577/1
Very possible. Looks a bit like Ben and might actually HAVE run away. If so, he could have got closer to Missouri. Even if he hadn't run away, Wewoka is seven hours on Route 44 almost straight through.
Jack Phillips
Not geographically possible.
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/808613/1
Ricky Thomas
Straight down Route 64, but taller and older than his other victims.
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/840241/1
Danny Jackson
First, he was sighted as being seen with TWO men. Secondly, it is still quite a drive from Kirkwood.

William Majewski
Straight through Route 70. Right age and features. Possible.
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/761273/1
Mark Himebaugh
Too far off, though straight down the interstates. I don't know if Devlin had 'preferences', but I don't know if he'd want to take a child in the afternoon and, unless he was staying nearby, drive back through fifteen-odd hours of traffic.

David Warner
Devlin was 17.
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/601934/1
Jacob Wetterling
Hmm...
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/731065/1
The sketch doesn't look like Devlin.
Marc Allen
Lightning striking twice...also, outside the age range.
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/1053047/1
Garrett Bardsley
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/995300/1
Very hospitable conditions, plus how could he have driven through the area without knowing it well or getting away easily with a victim?
Patrick Betz
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/706544/1
Too far away.
Samuel Boehlke
Too far away.
William Downey
Too far away.
Scott Echols
Too far away.
Derrick Engebretson

They mentioned a suspect. If we knew what they'd look like, it could help. But also too far away. Plus the vehicle that may have been used does not look like the van he may have used to abduct Shawn, a 1983 gray and silver pickup Toyota. Sure, he could have had different vehicles, but the area is just too far away with too many interstates.
Thomas Billy Lee Tillery
If he was Devlin's victim, his remains would have been found closer to Kirkwood.
Brad Hansen
Devlin HAD been to Arizona, but unsure.
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/812998/1
James Hendrickson
Same as above.
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/755469/1
Steven Kraft
Likely. But until we get anything further, just maybe. Plus, I don't know if he was going to see his parents when Steven vanished.
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/905507/1
Scott Kleeschulte
http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/k/kleeschulte_scott.html
Very likely. Lived nearby, rural town, looks like the other victims.
Joshua Mahaffey
Possible. Lived only an hour and a half away from Kirkwood. Definitely looked younger than fifteen.
http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/m/mahaffey_joshua.html
Patrick Mello
Too far away.
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/811025/1
Justin Richardson
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/938322/1
Same as other Arizona.
Eric Pyles
Unlikely. Pennsylvania is quite far away.
http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMC/901394/1
Charles Arlin Henderson
Unable to find a solution. While he is more likely than the boys on the list (aside from Scott), Devlin reportedly had a lot of people over in 1991, so it would have been hard hiding the boy.
Dalton Mesarchik
Likely. On the border, Devlin would have gone to Illinois many times and he had gone to Illinois at one point to abuse Shawn So it's not out of the question.
I don't think he took girls.
So, I just hope this does something.
