John Wayne Gacy: The Killer Clown

Written by Gisela K.

Narrated by Gisela K.

John Wayne Gacy, The Killer Clown, was a prolific American serial killer who murdered 33 boys between 1972 and 1976, burying most of them in the crawlspace under his house in Norridge, Cook County, Illinois.

He was a businessman, politician, and registered clown who used his charm and trickery to lure his victims to his house, where he unleashed his sexual sadism and depravity on them before he strangled them to death with his “rope trick”.

How did he go undetected for so long?

Did he have any accomplices?

How was he caught and sentenced to death?

Let’s investigate!
