Summary

The FBI provided investigative assistance to Illinois police. In 1980, Gacy was convicted of murdering 33 young men ranging in age from 14 to 21. In 1978, after one of Gacy’s victims, Robert Piest, was reported missing, police learned that Gacy was the last person known to have seen him. After obtaining a search warrant, police discovered the bodies of 29 boys and young men in or near Gacy’s house; four other bodies were found in the nearby Des Plaines River. Indeed, the area of the house had emitted a foul stench for years, but Gacy had told his houseguests and his wife that the smell was the result of moisture buildup. At his trial Gacy’s plea of innocent by reason of insanity was supported by the testimony of several psychologists, who diagnosed him as schizophrenic, but was rejected by the jury, which found him guilty of all 33 murders of which he was accused; he was executed by lethal injection in 1994. - Britannica Follow Nic on Twitter @TCGNic Find all their shows and merchandise on their website True Crime Garage SOURCES: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97809682/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97811240/ https://apnews.com/article/chicago-2a5842ef8ee46f8d43799bc50f390ad8 https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Wayne-Gacy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5s7WMxSplg https://www.biography.com/news/john-wayne-gacy-timeline-murders https://vault.fbi.gov/John%20Wayne%20Gacy John Wayne Gacy timeline: The efforts to recover, name his 33 ...https://www.chicagotribune.com › history › ct-john-wa… John Wayne Gacy, the country's worst serial killer - Chicago ...https://www.chicagotribune.com › nation-world › chi-c… John Wayne Gacy - Chicago Tribunehttps://www.chicagotribune.com › topic › john-wayne-… Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Slow Burn Media, Evergreen Podcast, presents Who Killed, a podcast that provides a voice for the voiceless.
0:14.0	My question would be to you right off the bat is why, after so many years of silence, never having a media interview.
0:20.8	And people have said that you have given them interviews in years past. Well, that's hogwash. That's strictly hogwash. So we're saying today. I'm constantly told that I'm misquoted constantly saying that I said this and I said that and it's not happened. So it's pretty well established on this. This is the first time you're speaking publicly about your case.
0:38.3	Right. Yeah.
0:39.3	I've always felt that my attorneys were handling it and they said to keep a low profile and stay away from it.
0:45.3	And in light of all it has been used against me in the media, they've created this fantasy monster image,
0:53.3	and it's been going on for the last 12 years.
0:56.0	And I've ever had no comment and I had no need to talk to the media for the simple reason
1:01.0	that they were looking for sensationalism and they were looking for the monster.
1:04.0	When you say fantasy monster image, what are you referring to by that?
1:08.0	Well, the idea that I'm a homosexual thrill killer and all that garbage.
1:13.9	And they painted this image of me that, like I strolled down the streets and stalked young boys and slaughtered them.
1:23.7	Hell if you could see my schedule, my work schedule, you know damn well that I was never out there.
1:28.0	Well, you were, you were indicted, convicted, and sentenced on 33 counts of homicide.
1:34.6	Is that correct?
1:35.1	That's correct.
1:36.5	Hello and welcome to Who Killed?
1:39.1	I am your host, Bill Huffman, and this is a slow burn, media, and evergreen podcast production.
1:46.0	We're going to pick up right where we left off last week with Nick from True Crime Garage.
1:51.5	It's possible that he could have killed some more because he didn't, he wasn't, you know, some of these guys when they when they get taken down when they get
2:04.8	discovered they get locked up they confess to everything and i actually believe listening to
