Summary
John Wayne Gacy is one of the most infamous serial killers of all time. In the 1970s, Gacy raped, tortured and killed at least 33 boys and young men in the Chicago area. Gacy was very well-known and liked in his community and he enjoyed dressing up as a clown to entertain the neighborhood kids. He was the perfect example of a monster hiding in plain sight.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss John Wayne Gacy for their 150th episode of the podcast. In this first part on Gacy, we'll explore his childhood and some of the things that he experienced that shaped his life and may have influenced his future behavior. We will get into Gacy's first act which involved his first wife and family in Waterloo, Iowa. This is also where Gacy's predatory behavior began to take shape.
