Look at Jeffrey Dahmer. Twice people said something or there was a police run in. One of those times the drugged victim tried to say something to the police and was given back to dalhmer.

When my grandfather was a kid he lived in the same neighborhood has John Gacy. He said he was walking around the neighborhood one time and came up on John in his backyard. He motioned my grandfather over to talk. He looked in the backyard and noticed a bunch on construction equipment from his job. My grandfather was a gearhead he was tempted to go ever so he could get a better engine for his motor bike, but he said he got a gut feeling that said not to go over and he left.

I just realized that there were lots of notorious serial killers in the 70’s. Gacy should’ve been caught a lot sooner and the police should’ve taken him more seriously. Rest In Peace everyone who died because of that monster.
The profiling science wasn't quite there yet. Its because of the amount of serial killers in the 70s that we know what we know but unfortunately it took time to develop the profiling knowledge we have.
You should look up the lead hypothesis

As a person who spends hours and hours with addicts and criminals I can attest to having some of the best initial impressions of people who turned out to be a bunch of thieves and lying sociopaths. What they didn't know was that my background had me aware of this side of their personalities and as soon as they knew the game was finished they turned into the coldest of cold and stopped "participating" in their therapy. Anyone can seem like a boy scout. Some of the absolute worst were in law enforcement.

Super creepy
It was a 2 part combination I believe.
Gacy was found guilty in 1980 and Stephen Kings "It" was released soon after in 1986.
First of all, this dude is not considered a clown (this is stated by the clown community), and second, most actual clowns aren’t creepy or weird. They can look cute and usually very kind.
I have a LOT of respect and empathy for detectives, I can’t imagine having to go into a crawl space to find and identify bodies at various levels of decomposition, especially bodies of children/minors. They can’t even look away, their job is to study it and document it in as greater detail as possible. I’m sure they see things on the job far more confronting than anything any of us could think up on our own.
same with ems, mental health issues are rampant because of that sort of thing
yes, i bet they have PTSD, i couldnt do it, i would be vomiting from the smell.
right- it’s super sad and disturbing
That first cop just wanted dibs on which boy to smash first
The thing with this is some people enjoy their job. The regular person isnt made for it.
Police incompetence is a common denominator in these cases and that’s infuriating
They need to be held accountable for all the terrible work some of them they do
You have to understand that they only have so many cops and their are millions of criminals so they aren’t going to investigate unless they have very solid evidence and so if people go randomly missing it could be anyone who is doing it. And if someone is a very good characterized person, then they probably won’t go after them without evidence.
@Science Bear You're the only one bringing up heterosexuals out of nowhere. Get help brother.
In 1978, we didn't have the resources available we have now, let alone NCMEC.
Quite hindsight. They did not study criminals or know what they would be like. Most people if they never knew of serial killers, they would think serial killers would never be productive stand up ordinary looking citizens.
You understand that if there isn’t any evidence and just speculation they can’t investigate

He literally snitched on himself multiple times and police still didn't arrest him.
He snitched to his lawyers. The people who are paid to defend him no matter what. They aren’t allowed to tell the police that he killed people
The best defense in getting away with stuff is being honest, but painting it as sarcasm
What's weird about older generations is how many red flags they were willing to ignore about their neighbors. It's really odd how ingrained their perceptions of "who" was dangerous could be in spite of all the red flags one of their friends or neighbors or family members could exhibit.
Its not they willingly ignored it, you have to remember that serial killers were kind of new or recognized a little later
@@Pacisback84 Except that isn't true. Jack the Ripper and other serial killers definitely existed far before this clown, except until after the 1970's when all crime peaked world wide, the USA police only operated on municipal and state levels, so if the killer moved and did crime in another state, the state already previously investigating wouldn't have a clue and treat this as a new crime and not have access to the other state's information. Wasn't until after all the serial killings that they changed how the system works and thankfully it is much more efficent now...
@@stuffwithsoph8264 and serial killings weren’t thought to be a widespread thing, maybe a few insane people here and there. But often times serial killers ended up having fairly normal lives.
I think people just minded their own business better back then
You’d be a terrible time traveler.
It took for 33 people to go missing before he was caught, wow.
Given the age bracket, the cops tended to assume they were run aways. I think Gacy also took care to go for those who wouldn't be missed...most of the time.
Some other person killed more than 90 people and then confessed.
I had a nightmare of being captured by killer clowns the day he was found.
That’s like a whole classroom full of people wtf
He went super far out of his way to cultivate a persona that wouldn't arouse suspicion, targeted people society wouldn't miss and hid them in a place you'd never find unless you already had a warrant. It's a terrible situation but I can at least understand how he got away with it for so long.
I watched a documentary-I forget which one, but it might have been the John Wayne Gacy Tapes on Netflix-where Robert Piest’s friend was talking about him, and how desperately his family was looking for him. Gacy’s lawyer said that, during the trial, Rob’s dad came up to him and said something along the lines of “I just want you to know that I don’t hate you, I know you’re just doing your job” and that made him realize what a wonderful young man Rob would’ve become. And that was just one victim. We reduce the victims of serial killers to numbers so frequently, but that put into perspective the human devastation with each victim. It messed me up for a while. They were just kids, man.
I pray the remaining unidentified victims get their names back soon. Five families are looking for their babies.
Plot Twist: The cameraman actually caught John Wayne Gacy.

@@Lavenderlove-y6u jaja
Boring
My father was almost kidnapped by Gacy 3 days before he was caught. Luckily, even though Gacy offered to watch over my father for my grandma at the time while she went to the bathroom , she was pretty suspicious, and took my dad with her
Edit: So, I have seen a few people say this is fake. To that, I have to say that it is completely okay to not believe this story. However, I must tell you that I am not making this up
Never underestimate a good mother's intuition
He almost kidnapped one of my friends dad's when he was younger he was following him around and I know a few people that went to school with his kids
A junior highschool friend lived near gacy before he moved north to the city I was lived in. Gacy used to follow my friend around, but the family was rich and connected. I am sure harming my friend would have been too hot of a police situation. My friend felt creeped out and kept away. By the way, my friend was and is smoking hot. He should have been a male model. I can see why my friend would have been noticed. After the story broke, my friend and I were in highschool. We graduated in 1982. I could tell it affected my friend, even though he didn't say that. I don't know if he knew any victims. He never said anything.
Sounds like a made up story

They judged the book by it's cover.
That's why we've improved the fields of sociology, but police negligence is to blame not police itself. There still the ones who had to go through the crawlspace and nobody talks about the police killed during investigations just like this one, with how many rings survived for decades because of how many deep undercover cops we send in but have no way to retrieve if their caught
You are not learning your lesson if you blame the cops. There are good people out there that will hurt you and your family with a smile. And move on the next week and do it again. I am glad , he was finally caught. Thank you cops. A lady was at a pet store and she said how nice her Large snake was and how she even sleeps with it sometimes. The pet store owner asked if he curls up in bed lies and follows the contour of her body. Then he said.. he is sizing you up for a meal. That is how I think we are with bad people. Oh how nice he brings me food or water when I am sick. No end of sick people. I was adopted, as much as I am grateful , I am aware of peoples two sides. If cops acted on all they suspected , we would then call them other things.
Foreal. I just watched the zodiac video, and the cops seen the guy and let him get away back in the 60's because for some reason they had the idea it was an "African American Male" even after the witness literally said it was a 5'10 25-30yr old white guy. smh

Fun fact: my fathers friend worked as someone who towed trucks during the 70’s. (We live in IL) let’s call the friend Peter. Well, one day, Peter got a call to tow a car that had apparently driven down in a ditch near a river off a highway or road and had gotten stuck. Peter went down and towed the truck, thinking nothing of it. Just a careless driver. He noticed the driver was a little odd, with a safety tag or something on the car. Peter didn’t mind, and did his job. A month later Peter got a call into court, to testify. Peter arrived and the judge was with the man who’s car he towed. The judge asked Peter if this was the man who’s car he had towed and to describe what happened and what the car looked liked. Peter identified the man and car as the one he towed and saw. He shrugged it off as a small crime the man must have done. A few weeks later, all over the news was that John Wayne Gacy had been sentenced to prison and the crimes he has done. Peter looks at the photo of John, and is surprised to realize that John Wayne Gacy was the man who’s car he towed. Apparently Gacy had dropped his last victims body off in the river right before he came and got towed. Pretty crazy!!
Really, if you're going to do that. Use a friggin Land Rover or something up to the job. Not an Oldsmobile. Lol
This is why stereotypes are so harmful. A serial killer got away with heinous crimes because police thought he didn't "look like" a killer. There is no look! Law enforcement should investigate all suspicious behavior.
At this point people who don’t look like killers should be the new stereotype.
@@BlastFurnaise the fbi had to make a disclaimer about not pushing the "Stranger danger" myth because every serial killer groomed the victims or knew of them prior
There is a “look” (so to speak) that certain investigators can see nowadays. It’s called criminal profiling. At the time this happened, the FBI had just started their studies into the subject, and forensic policing was still in its infancy. No one had any idea what to look for or what to investigate when trying to find serial killers, especially considering the term itself hadn’t even been coined. It’s easy now to say “they should have done X, Y, and Z,” but consider the time period, and the fact that the people charged with investigating Bundy had never seen anything like him. They didn’t have 30 years worth of case evidence and expert help from federal law enforcement to back them up and help them. The guy didn’t have a lengthy criminal record or a history of violence, had a reasonably nice house and means of income, so why would they go after him when they could be investigating someone who looked way more guilty? I’m not saying they were right to ignore him, but they were against a deadline to solve those cases, and when you’ve got other suspects who seem much more suspicious than him, you have to prioritize your time looking into them.
Ikrrr I hate watching serial killer documentaries and always hearing that line they didnt “look like” a killer 😤 UGH HATE IT
No one looks like a killer they don't have scared faces or hook for hands they look just like everyone else
Don't forget the part where he had a documentary on peacock(?) and flipped through a huge photoalbum of his victims with their entire life stories and declared he had never seen any of these people. He had investigated all of their family and friends and claimed he had no idea who any of them were.
And of course, noone confronted him about it.
I didn't know about that,even though I saw a lot of videos on this guy
What's the source? That's very interesting

When my dad was a teenager living in Evanston he was late to a concert but luckily ran into his friends dad driving who offered him a ride. Once inside my dad was being asked weird questions and he soon realized that it wasn’t his friend’s dad but a complete stranger.

Bozo was cool af.
The ways I was always told, Gacy had killed several people killed at this point and was confident. He stored these bodies under his house. He got so cocky he invited a couple of policemen over to dinner one night. An officer asked to use the bathroom and when he got in there, he smelled something funny coming from the vent. They caught Gacy and his defense was, “Everyone at work was out to get me! I had to defend myself!”
In the future we call that "cereal" killers
I don't understand how the venting works for the sewer lines. I know the sewer part of a home plumbing has to be vented to prevent explosion of sewer gasses but how did the crawl space air get drawn up into the bathroom?
@@dannydaw59 the air could have just seeped through spaces within the walls and floors that weren’t completely sealed. Also, venting in plumbing isn’t so sewer gases don’t explode, it’s to provide atmospheric pressure to the used water so it flows properly. For example: if you open a soda bottle and turn it upside down, the soda kinda glugs out instead of a nice flow. If you poke a hole in the soda bottle when it’s open and let the soda flow out, it will flow out gently
He killed his first homicide victim in self defense
He didn't intend on killing him.
But after the got the pleasure of killing someone he decided to do it more.
If only that kid wasn't holding a breakfast knife...
@@dannydaw59 The video is slightly misleading. It wasn't flushing the toilet that caused the smell to leak out. It was the ventilation system. The heat kicked on, I think. Or maybe the AC. Regardless, with the air being pushed out of the vents, the smell was quite noticeable in the enclosed bathroom.
It’s really a shame how many of these dudes had wives or girlfriends that saw/heard/smelled things but chose not to go to the cops. History is littered with these cases of cops ignoring worried friends and parents of victims because a guy doesn’t fit their profile, but they would listen to a woman who thinks her husband is a killer in a heartbeat.
They wouldn't listen to her either.
No, they wouldn’t even listen to the woman either there’s been cases of that to where they were said they were women or wives a girl woman girlfriends came forward and they didn’t listen to them, but also sometimes their cases are where they don’t know anything this week is this and why was living in the same house as somebody didn’t know anything was going on there’s ukases like that too I know maybe that’s hard to believe but it does happen
@@tammiepage6489 Well we wouldn't know if no one would listen to her or not. As she didnt care to open her mouth either.
I heard a story that a college student would hitchhike home after school everyday and he did this one day and when he was being driven by this man he realized he missed the turn and he told the man he said (I don’t rember exactly) “oh no your not going there” the student then jumped out of the car and ran home
A few years later the same man whom was almost kidnapped heard a interview of a murderer and the question was “why did you make your passenger door unopenable from the inside” the murderer response was along the lines of “the first person I tried kidnapping was a college student who jumped out of the door”

Bro no he wasn’t stop lying
You do such a good job at explaining all this! 😊
i agree
Ikr
Right?! Super well articulated and smooth
Yup
In the future we call that a history teacher
what's worse, is that after Gacy more or less knew he was caught, he flooded the crawl-space so when the search warrant came in and they started excavating, all the bodies were more or less underwater
He didn't get very far in regards to flooding it. The water didn't come up past the knee. Still, it made the task far worse as the smell of the putrid water stuck to their clothes. More than one officer had to run upstairs to get fresh air or vomit.
no water involved
My grandmother use to work in a hospital in chicago and john wayne gacy was the clown at the hospital she worked at. Pretty spooky.
My father and my uncles grew up in Gacys neighborhood and my uncle also worked for him one summer. My dad told me about it Gacy wanted to pay my uncle and my dad to clean out his attic my dad and uncle went and both left because of how much of a creeper he was. Thank god someone caught him and my dad and uncle decided against working for him or I wouldnt be here probably
I actually know someone who saw Gacey at a party as Pogo the Clown, she said that he was almost too fond over her cousin. My cousin also had a teacher who had Robert Piest as a student

So as I have studied serial killers, watched movies, documentaries, read articles and books on them I couldn't get enough of my research. So as a local chicagoan, I've visited the home of Gaysee (if someone wants to come for me on my spelling mark it wrong on my spelling test!). I sat there staring at the new house built on the property envisioning what was once were. Then an old guy came out of his house and walked to my car. He must've known why I was there. He just started talking to me about Gacy! He knew him because he lived in his home since the 70s. He offered me to come in his house and talk more. I declined but he continued to stand there speaking to me. There's nothing like having the knowledge of events that took place from someone who was actually there to see it for themselves. I fed my hunger to know more. I learned from him more about Gacy in that 10 minute conversation than I have from anything prior that I've learned.
Please explain
and you're not gonna share?

What a pointless story
Gacy is absolutely insane, one of the biggest killers of all time.
By definition, he WASN'T crazy. He KNEW what he was doing was wrong.

No the two detectives deserve praise for their dogged pursuit of Gacy. They cracked the case and even fought with the democratic political machine in greater Chicago area in their pursuit. Before the internet age you had to make phone calls or drive to places. You had to wait until someone physical went through old paper files to find information you asked for.
Once again, just like with Bundy, Dahmer and Coral, Gacy could have been caught so much sooner if the police had actually acted instead of being classist, racist, sexist, or homophobic. At least those detectives actually did a really good thing in catching him and pursuing him so relentlessly.

@@linselmitchell7046 yeah… that’s the point… the police didn’t take witnesses of colour seriously, and favoured the *white* serial killers. use your brain.
@@linselmitchell7046race has nothing to do with it
"Americas most evil serial killer" you already did this one. Not complaining though. Love these
They did another video about this but this one is about how they caught him.
I thought Samuel Little was americas most evil serial killer
I think he got off far to easy with the death penalty. Killing him was far to easy the punishment was over as soon as he was dead. I think forcing him to spend his whole life locked in jail is far worse than the death penalty. I'm sorry the death penalty is wrong it's a escape for these people who need to be punished.
According to the documentary I watched he actually enjoyed prison. Death for him is worse than life in prison.
@@oceanbanana4341 I'm glad he found it worse than life in jail
TOO 😐
How? He had to be lying the inmates would show no remorse
I mean he would like jail you know why he would like jail
My professor in college was able to interview Gacy while he was on death row. Gacy ended up inviting him to his execution, but he refused to go because of how messed up the interviews were..
Still can't forget the movie "to catch a killer" with Brian Dennehy as Gacy. Back then, it was a great movie
Now you gotta do “how they caught the zodiac killer”
They never caught the zodiac killer...
Good joke
Supposedly
@@2002herman??
@@tico5058 fbi said it wasn’t him
My grandfather was a prison psychologist, and I’m pretty sure he was a witness at Gacy’s execution - he just doesn’t like to talk about it. I’ll have to ask him sometime about Gacy’s famous last words;)
any news?
@@ombricshalazar3869 he dead
I can’t believe his second wife didn’t go to the police. Also this makes me sad for having accomplished so little at 31.
was a different world of oppurtunities in the 70's.
Every day is a new day to be whoever you desire to be
Bruh you haven't killed 30 men. Whatever you are doing isnt so bad.
I've accomplished very little too, but I'm hoping I'll achieve much more in my next life if there is one.
@@dominos6576 most likely not try and make the most of this one
While its been a while I don't think That's how the handcuff incident played out.
First Gacy put them on himself then escaped from them like it was a magic trick. He then offered the teen to try to do the trick. When the boy couldn't get out of the cuffs he said to Gacy "how'd you unlock em" at which point Gacy says "gotta have the keys" dangling a tiny cuff key in the teen boys face. He then proceeds to attack and subdue the cuffed and defenseless adolescent.
I don't think he showed them the trick first. They might have seen him use the key. He just told them they were trick cuffs. The "trick", as you said, was that you had to have the keys.
@@Bluesit32 Nah. Every telling I've seen of this has been consistent that he showed them the trick first by putting them on himself and then getting them off. It helped put them at ease that there actually was a trick he knew and could show them.
You 100% its exactly what thry di snd no kids didn't see hadn't behind him with them in front of him and he was clown so they knew he knew magic tricks or thought and young kids
I remember my dad telling me a story of how he went to one of John's house parties as a teenager in the mid 70s in/by Chicago. Wouldn't let my dad go down stairs to the basement to smoke he told me. Remembers hearing foot steps following him at night on his way home and ended up sprinting home.
😬
Man… i came here after watching the Gacy scene in the new Jeffrey Dahmer show… was very unsettling
Your dad is a lucky man
12:26 Robert Ressler was my next door neighbor when I was between 3 and 12 years old. It's kind of funny to run across him in an infographics video. He was an interesting man, had original paintings done by one of the killers he profiled hanging in his house.
“Hey, I’m John Wayne from the first thanksgiving Happy thanksgivings pilgrims”
😆 nice.
33 people you guys, 33. Rip to all those young fellas. May they be at peace, and away from their final moments.
If only Jeffrey dahmer had met John wayne gacy in the 70's. Dahmer would have turned the tables on gacy and ate him.
Or they would've teamed up 🤣 or fought each other like Freddy vs. Jason
Pfft. He certainly would not. Gacy was NOT his type. Dahmer liked fit, darker skinned men.
@@Bluesit32 Lol skinned
@@Schimprimper That was Gein, not Dahmer.
@@Bluesit32 dahmer didn't have a colour preference, he went for a certain body type.

Reminds me of the clown of dead by Daylight
It’s sad how when we were younger clowns looked happy and energetic but now we stay on high alert in case they do something
He's definitely one of the more depraved ones. A lot of serial killers seem to just knock out their victim and choke them in their unconscious state.
Guys like this though tortured these kids for hours on end before killing them, having them awake and suffering through the entire thing. This guy and the Pied Piper of Texas probably were the most sadistic ones because they liked watching their victims in agony and wanted them awake for the entire thing.
Yesss they both are the only 2 to make me physically sick besides bittaker & Norris
don't forget BTK. truly evil and sadistic.
You know.
It would've been funny to see him go up against the only man with a similar name, and get pummeled by this man.
This man is "The Duke".
This man is Marion Michael Morrison.
This man is...
John Wayne.
John Wayne was an actor who played a tough guy in movies. he never joined the military or grew up tough and had spent his life trying to make sure nobody knew about it. I’d say that the clown would be walking out of that room alive.
i’m so freaked out. i keep getting recommendations on every social media app about john wayne fact, when my dad is literally john’s doppelgänger
Y'all ever think that someone is killing right now and people are unaware and the cops will find out about it in the next few years or something?
Yeah I do
a few of my grandmothers friends were killed by this man, she told me he creeped her out a lot. but she doesn’t talk about him much so that’s basically all I know
5:20 She’s there to pick up her son, he says hey wait for a sec while I talk to someone, then he never shows up and disappears, so mom just goes off to party and doesn’t do anything until later after the party? WTFFFF??
Out of all the serial killers, gacy is the one that strikes fear into me 😅
2:11 He stroked the slick , ...... embalmed skin. Wow info show knows exactly what they are doing lol!!!
Rest In Peace to all the young boys who lost their lives to him 🤦🏽♀️ 🥺
That was a good video! 😀👍
My grandfather was actually one of the cops on the case. He specifically suggested getting a psychic involved to find the bodies thanks to my grandmother.
......... your grandfather shouldn't have been a cop if he suggested a psychic...
Sure buddy
CAP
And you think getting a psychic was a brilliant suggestion? Smfh 🤦♂️
@@noahrobertson6428 what's wrong with getting a physic to get bodies
The storyline was engaging and captivating from start to finish, I couldn’t stop reading!
Mom: 9-1-1 my son went missing and John Wayne Gacy was last seen with him
Police: He can't be a serial killer he shoveled my driveway
Mom: What does that have to do with anything!?
Police: Have you ever heard of a sympathetic murderer.
I love the kid friendly animation style over a video about a guy’s descent into serial killing
Dont know how this video came up on my fyp but im here for it 😂😂
Years ago one of my local tv stations had a thing where every I think Saturday they would play a movie based on a real life (usually a crime) incident and then after the movie would show a little special they'd made regarding the true story the movie was based on(one of my favs was an interview with Jeffrey Dahmer's prom date). So when they showed the movie where Brian Dennehy played John Wayne Gacy, afterward they showed a kind of lecture by the high something or other of the official organization of clowns. Since he was being serious he was wearing a suite and tie, NOT clown stuff. In any case this guy who ironically is being dead serious, explains that not only was JWG an evil serial killer of children, ...he was a BAD clown. The highlite was that he explained that are different kinds of clowns and they have guidelines about how they are supposed to dress and about makeup etc. For children's entertainer clowns their makeup is supposed to be all rounded. It makes them look jolly. He showed a picture of JWG as clown. There are some picts in the video. Look at them. The paint around his mouth comes to points. The fake eyebrows above his real eyebrows are triangles. He pointed out that look is demonic not child friendly. I got the feeling that had JWG come to attention of this guy, even if he HADN'T killed anybody, this guy would have drummed him out of clownbiz.
Good point. Just now realizing I’ve walked past a few demon-clowns and didn’t even care. Not saying their evil but I mean...
I rarely comment, but this was a nicer way of enjoying my usual True Crime documentaries. Good job!
not the “doughy face” 😭😭
Cops in the 70’s- Hmmm look at all this evidence pointing to Gacy…. He was even in jail for harassing the same kind of men that are going missing…
Gacy- *gives kid balloon, shovels snow, opens business*
Cops- Nevermind, couldn’t be him!
There's an interesting story about a guy who was suspected to be a victim of Gacy. Turns he just moved really far away and didn't even know people thought he'd been murdered by Gacy.
The Video: “He no longer was a “Pillar” of his community…”
Me: “He now was the “Killer” of his community.”
one time gacy masqueraded as police officer in unmarked car with fake id. told the young person he violated curfew. he handcuffed the person, brought him back then murdered them.
how do you detect fake police without ending up in a resisting arrest charge if it was real police.
given his past history of violence, it makes sense he was connected to some powerful ring
how else could he be protected
Obviously, tell them to call up a marked car. Simple...
It’s not really that important how he was caught, what’s really important is the fact that he did get caught.
Ehhhhhhh that logic would cause a lot of problems in society lol
No it is important so we can know for future cases.
@@DivinityIsInYou I’m glad you thought that as well yeah man I don’t think that makes much sense with all due respect you have to understand history to solve the future
@@NappyFlock that makes sense John, the only problem is we keep repeating the history books, instead of learning from it.
@@mrfugazi6713 We don’t repeat history as much as one would think. But it’s still important to document everything. How he got caught probably isn’t the most important part of the case, but it’s still something that should be recorded.
Gacy: I killed this boy from the newspaper Cops: Ok you're free to go but we're gonna get a warrant in a couple weeks cya later!

Cool video, but that background song was so loud it was driving me crazy 🤣
I did a concrete job within a half mile of where Gacy lived as I was a preteen when Gacy's killing spree went down. There were 33 young men and boys that were dug out of the crawl space of the home and there were songs that talked about that We don't need no John Wayne Gacy knowing that he killed that many young men and boys. You may want to watch his last interview on how chilling Gacy was as well as the killing spree happened not far from O'Hare
