In late 1970s, in a quiet suburb called Displains, Illinois, concealed a nightmare.

Behind the smile of a well-like businessman and part-time clown lurked a predator whose crimes would horrify the nation.

John Wayne Gacy wasn't just a trusted neighbor.

He was a serial killer who buried his victims beneath his own home home.

And when investigators uncovered the truth, it shattered the illusion of safety

and redefined the face of evil. This is a story of how a troubled child became one of America's

Born on March 17, 1942 in Chicago, Illinois, Gacy was the second of three children and the only son of John Stanley Gacy and Marion Elaine Robinson. His father, a World One veteran, struggled

with alcoholism and subjected young John to frequent verbal and physical

abuse. And this abusive relationship just set a precedent for the toxic dynamic that would persist

throughout Gacy's childhood and adolescence. And the paternal abuse Gacy endured was not merely sporadic.

It was a constant presence in his formative years. Not a good start.

His father consistently belittled him and drew unfavorable comparisons between John and his sisters.

And this persistence of degradation had a very profound impact on Gacy's self-esteem and his perception of masculinity.

And one particularly poignant incident occurred when Gacy was just four years old.
