I cannot imagine waiting on my child to return, and he doesn't. Unknowingly kidnapped. My heart hurts so bad right now.
I remember when this happened. I lived in the far west suburbs of Chicago. Lombard, Illinois to be exact. I was in high school when this guy got caught. We could hardly believe there was someone living this close to us who would do these things things.
My dad was 16 and actually grew up in Des Plaines and he remembers seeing pogo which is horrifying to think about.

People giving serial killers the benefit of the doubt and trying to justify their actions simply because they had a ‘ bad childhood’..
Is something I’ll NEVER be able to comprehend.
I’m not defending serial killers, however you can’t help but admit 90% of serial killers had a terrible upbringing. Am I condoning the killing? Absolutely not. I’m saying that the negative childhood was a definite reason in the path serial killers take. Look at the Gacey, Dohmar, The menendez brothers, time after time we see WHY they did what they did. Whether it be abusive parents, or they were an outcast as a child, their story all has the same parts.
@Jen J Trying to understand what drives a human to commit atrocities does not equal to justifying their actions.
o if he was abused he had to abuse , rape and kill young boys ??? most of us experienced abuseand we dont like to pass it on to other, i dont want someone else to go through what ive been through ... dont make excuses for this sick pedophile killer !
I don’t think they’re justifying their actions. More-so trying to understand what would possess a human being to do something this disgusting and horrific. The average person would not do this. There has to be some sort of psychological impact at the root cause of their actions . It’s not excusing their actions. It’s trying to understand WHY
John Wayne Gacy is a insane serial killer in a bad way
I had a rough childhood too and went through life not killing a single person🤷♂️
Same i had a rougher child than anyone in my family yet i didn't kill anyone, my cousin beat up his family and almost killed my grandma and stole and leeches off of you with guilt trips (thankfully he's in jail), my little cousin uses his popularity to get away with stealing or one-night stands, my sister lives her life by being a pathological liar (there's more but i'm not gonna list it); yet i never did anything like that in my life even though i was constantly bullied and had sexual assault onto me and beaten up by closest friends and isolated from my whole family to the point i can't speak without accusations of being someone that lies and brainwashes people, the list goes on and on. But i never turned out as a brainwasher or killer or pathological liar or anything like that, in fact i rose out of my depression and i'm living an outgoing life instead of a quiet and depressing one with a happy family of three. Not everyone that has a rough childhood ends up a gigantic killer or physcopath
@@clickablenyanclick2377 👌🏾 noice. I assume he had a weak mentality. The swing did it to him. Still unforgivable.
I am sorry to hear that and you are correct most victims of abuse do not go on to a abuse other.
Same. Both my parents died when i was 14. Im normal tho
Not defending him but people deal with stuff different
They had Gacy in prison for 10 years & let him out after 18 months to become the killer clown

This guy was always the creepiest for me. His home was less than 3 miles from my childhood home. I literally lived about 2 minutes from his house if you were driving or maybe 20-30 minute walk.

@@beloitfuntimes3150 r u tryna say gacey was your uncle
Brain damage? His crimes were methodical, premeditated and very well thought out. He was stalking some of his victims for days before acting. He knew what he was doing and why. I whole heartily believe had he not been caught, he would not have stopped. He spent years building up a reputation to hide his dark side. So that tells me he was fully aware he was a monster and didn’t care.
May have been some damage to areas of the brain that rule morality. Hence why he was able to justify murder. Not all brain damage turns you into a stooge, some just takes away essential human compassion
definitely not brain damage his brain is clearly working well
@@mrgrimsle5627 not how the brain works
@@jaycee6689 Then why have I read reports of people receiving brain damage and going from normal kind people to sadistic immoral nutballs. Brain damage can result in a lot of things.
@@mrgrimsle5627 because immoral actions don’t automatically mean brain damage or neurodivergence.
An infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer probably even more known than Gacy was a necrophil and cannibal. He killed his victims, done sexual acts on the corpses, ate their flesh and organs. When he died his mother allowed research on his brain to help better understand individuals similar to Dahmer. Results said that his brain didn’t show any anomaly. This said we know that being a serial killer isn’t directly connected to any brain damage. Not only do we not have reports of any of such diagnosis on Gary but he also doesn’t show any signs of brain damage. He was very likable person. He seems to be very intelligent and competent. I’d say very socially and emotionally intelligent.
But wasn't the fact of finding drivers licenses and belongings of missing kids enough to detain Gacy?
You’d think so
Police work in the 70s was really shitty. The strict protocols and policies of today's police are largely because of the ineptitude of the police from the 70s and 80s.
No
there no body so no crime just a missing person
@@cowbatboots282 Yeah, if they had done their jobs in San Francisco area in the 60s, they could have caught Zodiac.
Nothing ever excuses such actions. He is %100 responsible. However, his upbringing and severe head injury does make you wander how messed up his brain was. His dad holds some amount of that guilt as well.
And on top of that he was a DEMONCrat.

@Lux Aeterna I could not agree more. If he had gotten the help he needed as a child who knows what would have have happened.
The truth of the matter is there is suffering that is within the bounds of human control, yet some don't realize that they've spread the parasitic darkness to others until it's too late.
How is having the driver license of a bunch of missing kids not enough evidence 🤦♂️ our justice system is fucked
Cause he could have just found them. It is fucked. But they made the rite call. He could have had a million ways to counter that and it would have forced them to back off so they did what they could at that point
@@mrgrimsle5627 Yeah. You just randomly find 27 drivers liscenses all the time.
@@captainobvious2373 not definitive proof
@@captainobvious2373 Guilt must be established beyond a reasonable doubt.
Non-authoritarian countries follow Blackstone's formulation: "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."
Authoritarian countries, socialist or adjacent in particular, follow the opposite: "Better to kill a hundred innocent people than let one truly guilty person go free."
Hence the latter has thought crimes and purges while the former does not.
Well we don't live in a dictatorship where you can just be arrested for any reason. They have to charge you. What are they going to do? charge him for having driver licenses?
He was put under surveillance which was basically the end of it so they got the right outcome without wrongfully arresting someone. And FYI the reason they make it hard to charge/arrest is to the benefit of the innocent not the guilty.
Greg Godzik -one of his victims was my first cousin. He went missing 3 months after I was born. My family did hire a private investigator to help find Greg 🥺

I have a family member who had hired Gacey as a clown around the time of his murders. I csnt remember who it is, but theres a picture of them together.
@@shanemetreger6293 that’s so freaking scary
@Chris well then who should be hired as clowns ? Kids ?
@@shateic6490 literally nobody😭
What about the hospitals ?
It is extremely annoying that he managed to do all of these murders without getting caught earlier. The police was very ineffective. The fact that he wasn't getting caught was a 'reward' for his criminal behaviour.
I mean it was a very different time back then , people didn't do this kind of thing. I remember my grandmother saying in her hometown they didn't even have to lock their front doors, thats how much things have changed and she was a kid in the 50's and teen in the 60's. They didn't have the technology we have now days and like the detective said, it was the 70s and kids were always running away plus Gacy usually chose those who wouldn't be missed, or knew their life enough to know they wouldn't be searched for.
Same thing happend with Cannibal Dahmer
@@kva5751 To add on to this, Gacy would prey on young men and boys only. Bearing in mind the stigma around homophobia at the time (there still is, but it is far less pervasive nowadays), some parents would not want to come forward with the prospects that their kids were ever so slightly involved in a homosexual relationship. As such, there were family members who wouldn't even care in following up with the case. This is especially evident that some of the victims to this day are still unidentified and there have been numerous attempts to look for close relatives of the victims. I would like to clarify that the victims themselves may or may not have been homosexuals (most likely the latter). However, the portrayal of the media was that the victims were "close" with Gacy, so that narrative made it worse when it came to family members of the victims to come forward and identify their kids. It truly is horrific.
Sure let’s always blame the cops for everything even a serial killer in the 70s who killed on his own time
Don’t quote me on this, but I think many of Gacy’s victims were mostly runaways or black sheeped by their families, meaning only a few had families that cared enough to report their sons missing.
I have my 18 year old son I cannot imagine losing him in such a horrifying way, god bless us all.
You look fairly young to have a 18 year old
Though I have heard this story/case numerous of times it never fails to make me sick and hurt for those young boys who died their parents and the boys that survived his sick nastiness.
That just means you're a decent person with a conscience.
Same 🥃
Me too
Im thinking the same and yet some how its got such a weird interest in me. The fact how he was outwardly charming and loved yet really he was evil inside.
I cant even imagine what the victims final moments were like! Like actually can’t comprehend it really. I hope what ever they are somehow in a better place and know he was found out. Its really sad and terribly horrifying!!
💯
He made a painting in Jail. It was with a clown and 33 ice cream flavours portrayed. This man was a true deceiver. He didnt give a fuck.
He was 36???!!! He looks about 50!!
Lots of people back in the 60s - 70s looked older than people of the same age now. Heck if I know why, except because of the cigarettes and alcohol and leaded gasoline exhaust. There are probably more reasons.
Evil ages you. Look at Stephen Miller.
He really does!
I was molested as a child beaten physically by my mother with hangers, brooms and anything she could find on daily bases but I’m not going around killing innocent people. Even though it has been affecting my life every single day!
I’m so sorry that happened to you, I hope you find peace and closure one day. Please stay well!
It’s terrible what happened to you and very valid..but the outcomes of one’s past is far deeper than just the circumstance’s effect alone. It can also be your biological make up and genetics. The way the brain works determines the behavior and social fate of an individual.
I had the same story unfortunalely.
@@MDeLorien I’m sorry to hear that, stay strong I wish I could tell yu it gets better with time but all you can do is try to help other kids by spreading information

Let us not forget Jason Moss. Writer of "The Last Victim", who visited Gacy in prison, and later took his own life.
Really but why?
@@binitakatuwal7242hè wanted to quit smoking.
What’s so scary is his mugshot smile was so inviting. If I’d just seen that picture I wouldn’t think he was a serial murderer
I don’t understand how they said “with no evidence, police couldn’t make an arrest.” Is having multiple drivers licenses of missing people in your home not evidence?!
If you arrest someone you have to charge them with something and just having their licenses isn’t conclusive enough to convict him of murder. It links him for sure, but it’s stupid that he wasn’t arrested then and there
He could have found them too, although that would also be incredibly suspicious. People keep harping on the police in this case, not realizing a lot of the methods they are calling for in catching them are NOT rooted in justice whatsoever. You want to live in a society where the police have the power to do the things you are suggesting? I'm guessing you're also one of those "defund the police" types too, not realizing you hold conflicting views due to your mass media programming.
Most psychopaths are absolutely friendly and easygoing in society, and that’s scary. You don’t know who is and who isn’t one until it’s too late.
Imagine he had 130+ billion dollars like Bill Gates, killing more people than anyone in history. Gacy is just a kindergarten serial killer.
Yeah nowadays everyone is a psycho or a narcissist.. it's insane. Something deeply wrong has happened to us as a species

There is a correlation between Gacy and Bundy, in that they both constructed meticulous facades to conceal their true natures and then leaned on those personas to frustrate investigators and win support.

Does anyone else notice that alot of these serial killers suffered traumatic head injuries?
things such as hard drugs (even marijuana has the potential) and bad interactions with people such as parents can trigger OR implant deeply embedded psychological problems more than head injuries ever will. “Psychotic breaks” or someone “snapping” happens all the time.

So they searched his home and found IDs and items belonging to missing people but “with no evidence or bodies” they had to run surveillance on him to find evidence that was actually valid. What a joke…

Very true
If you have a weak stomach and you get upset easily then watch with caution. Great video as always you guys. Gacy was a absolutely psychopathic and deranged killer with no remorse or sympathy for his victims and their families. One misconception was that he killed more than 36 people, that is not true. He had intended to kill more but he got sloppy and arrogant which led to his arrest.

All these Serial Killers have messed up childhoods, but still doesn't justify such deeds. Many others who have similar terrible childhoods don't end up Serial Killers, but the ones who do have a sense of being consumed by evil, as if possessed without any hope of help.

Are you crazy? That man deserved to die how he killed no trial at all .
Excuse me? Did I read that second paragraph right?
That second paragraph is the dumbest bullshit ive heard this year! Someone like him dont deserve to even fucking BREATH. In my eyes, a murderer will only live three days before being exicuted. Killing a murderer who killed that many people is ACTUAL justice. Putting someone like Gacey in prision is nithing more than giving him a slightly restricted home where that PoS gets a bed to sleep in, three meals a day, a roof over his head and shoes on his feet. Thats why people arent as afraid of prison anymore. They have it better in prison than in the street.
@@rest1585 the paragraphs contradict so much-
Exactly. Thank you for the contribution of your "edited" addition.
Okay hold up, how are ID’s of missing people and a ring of a missing person in one guys’ house that has a criminal background and was under suspicion enough to get a search warrant not sufficient evidence to arrest him? What the hell
Because if you arrest someone you have to charge them. Having the dead guys possesions isnt proof of murder. The charges would have been dropped or he would have been released. That's why they couldn't arrest him.
absolutely. but they have no problem murdering my innocent girl Breonna Taylor😭😭😤
Great episode. Thank you so much.
My friends and I being teens back then went to his house and watched the police carrying out bodies. But they did soon tent the house off to stop the curious from seeing.
The Netflix one they just dropped yesterday to me is the best documentary ever. What a great deep dive. The name fools you. It's not just the tapes but they perfectly did it if you ask me. Got all the insiders in the case. They didn't do the typical UA-cam deep dive and avoid words so the video don't get flagged. The part where the one dude reversed himself getting handcuffed and handcuffed and didn't realize he saved his own life.
He’s crazy and lucky to be alive after going back to work for him, I would’ve never went back

My stepdad was a guard at Anamosa State Prison when John Wayne Gacy was a prisoner there. He wasn’t a guard in the cell block John was in but did remember talking to him a couple of times in passing in the kitchen where John worked and on the yard.

he was released from prison so he was given the chance to hurt and kill more people... RIP to all his victims
Are you saying never release anyone?
@@510tuber for rape and sodomy!?? NO!
Sadly is a big problem with serial rapist. They commit the crime without killing the victim and then get caught. So when they are released and get the chance to do it again they dont want to get caught and they kill them. Leading to so many unnecessary sad deaths.
A prison psychiatrist at the Iowa prison warned against releasing Gacy in 1970, saying Gacy was a dangerous psychopath. His warning was dismissed and Gacy was paroled.
In another biography they claimed he invited a police officer into his home for dinner and the officer left afterwards knowing he smelled something in his home. After much thought the officer recognized the smell and obtained the search warrant based on the smell.
Yes that’s in the Netflix documentary
The smell, personal belongings that belonged to missing people and a previous conviction of sodemy were evidence for a second search warrant.
Gacy is 100% responsible for the crimes he had committed, but his father is also equally as responsible too.

@@SitavNabi dude wtf are you talking about? Ted Bundy grew up without his father and his mom partially neglected him. Go back and look at his documentary. He didn't like his stepdad.
If they had kept him in prison for the full 10 years instead of being charmed by his "good behavior," those tragic young men would probably still be alive. Why does our "justice" system do this to law-abiding citizens? How many people have to die before we get the protection we deserve?
Doubtful. He had this psychopathic trait that almost mandated that he go out and kill young men after sexually abusing them. So IMO he would still have been the same type of devious serial killer, with the only difference being that his crawl space would be full by 1988 instead of 1978.
The Justice system failed horribly, the people who let him out should be locked up themselves
Ppl would still get killed after he went out from his 10 years sentence. You think those 10 years would have healed him?
Yes these men would be alive. But the ones that are alive now would be killed after once he gets out after 10 years. So what are you really asking? Nothing really.
Can't you still get off on good behaviour, though? How were they supposed to know he was faking it?
Or are you suggesting that we stop releasing people on good behaviour?
@@kaputt_jay3873 Hi, Kaputt_Jay. I'm not only suggesting it - I'm calling for it. Have a seance and ask those dead young men what they think about early release for "good behavior."
I’m automated suspicious when a grown man chooses to dress as a clown
Yes, for good reason!
Me being 15 year old boy is crazy bc those kids were around my age and any teenager guy or girl it’s horrifying and those boys watched others get murdered in front of them and they had to lay there knowing they were next
So awful.....those poor boys... the cops said the smell under there was awful. There were 27 boys down there. Obviously not all at once.. so that means it smelled down there for a while... and he made those boys go down there...smelling corpse fumes...digging their own graves.
20:06 the narrator had a mocking tone when Gacy said he had chest pains. Even he is tired of Gacy's shit.
😂😂😂
"A little bit of help from above".... Tht man is blessed to be alive.
How could no neighbors smell all that???
Never handcuff yourself alone with a stranger.
Never handcuff yourself alone with a clown.🤡

Watching this and knowing he’s house was only 11 mills away from me. 😱
Hope it helped with your property value haha.
Just try to imagine how many killers like this one are operating at this moment. There are SO MANY "missing" people all over the world 💔
💯 so many are never caught
Shut up Monika
@@TheCuriousBunny one day they will, every one of them will pay the price 💯🙏🏾
@@esewhachudoinnno it's not possible every time one is caught more just pop up
29 bodies buried under his house and 4 he threw into the lake
The Ohio River.
@@ricktaylor3748 It was the Des Plaines River. The Ohio River runs in Southern IL, not near Chicago.
There's 1000s of kids that had bad childhoods but didn't turn into evil clowns who tortured and killed other people
People who say this don't understand that some kids can go through allsorts of abuse and trauma and survive with a normal life and some it fucks them so far beyond belief because to finish your comment, there are lots of kids who turn to crime because of bad lives
Millions of kids
Just had to watch again. Love this episode!!!!
You can’t help but imagine the real life horrific moments of him committing these acts. Doesn’t get much scarier to me
P.D.M. 🤡
I love how he pronounces the name with that accent. "Jhon whayne Gaycie!"
The day I met John Wayne Gacy. I was living in KCMO in 1980. I was in a new wave band named DuChamp. My band members and friends attended KCAI. I met my then girlfriend, now wife there. She had graduated that year and moved to NYC.
I went to visit her for Xmas/New years 1980.rode in a car with her sister and a friend to NJ. Life is a tangled web of incidents. Timing is everything. Anyway... I purchased a train ticket to get back home to KC, and the following short story happened. I was almost Gacy's final victim. I was broke. I was scavenging food from the diner car and got caught by the waiter. He was an older black man with a beard and gentle demeanor. He told me to sit in an empty booth so i did. He served me a turkey dinner with all the fixin's. He could tell that I had not eaten for a while. He even brought me a piece of pie. I slept in a seat and woke up in the morning as we pulled into the Chicago train station. I had a four hour layover in Chicago. I was getting hungry smelling the hot dogs. I had no money so I tried to sell my small battery operated alarm clock with no avail. I had a couple of hours left so I put my bags in a cart and strolled over to a spot away from the lights and people where there were benches that looked like church pews.
I was sitting there a few moments when off to the right I saw a man coming over from a door that led in from the street.
He started up a conversation with me. 'Hi where are you heading?" I told him KC, not thinking much of it. "Are you hungry?" he says.
"I'll buy you a hamburger if you want." I told him my train would be here soon and I didn't want to miss it. He said" We would be back in time." I was getting a bit uncomfortable and told him no. He was sitting close to me so I pulled my cart between us.
He said "are you a dancer?" "you look like a dancer." About then I stood up took my cart and headed towards the crowd. I went to a security guard and told him about the guy but when I looked back he was gone. This happened 15 years before I realized it was Gacy. My wife bought me the book "Clown Killer" and after reading it and seeing him I knew it was him.
Holy fucking shxt
Wow
Smart
Bruh what…
If you dress up as a menacing clown, you should automatically be investigated by the authorities. Full stop. Period.
Exactly, clowns are very creepy
Yea and this is why the good clowns who want to be funny and entertain look bad
Seriously....fuck clowns...
Can’t believe we live in a world with people like this 😔
“He was a terrible, terrible painter”
The painting at 35:36 doesn’t look that bad at all lmao
He had talent, and his pieces sell for a lot
Johnny Depp and afew other actors own some of John's paintings.
Hitler painted a few great pieces too. I wanted to buy a print of one of a staircase with plants until I found out the artist was in fact Hitler.
A regular Van Gough.. lolol
@@Kryptongurl84 even more of a reason to buy it
To the guy who got out of the handcuffs and got them on John. Just know. He could have easily killed you handcuffed or not. But he let you go because you showed true grit. I suppose in a way he admired that.
He admired his grit, for sure, but...Gacey wasnt strong man. He tricked children/teens into traps playing on their naiveness and unawareness of the situation. At any sign of possible strugles or problems that could occure he would possible stop, thats the reason why he managed to kill so much people without getting caught for years. He was playing safely. He was inteligent psychopat/monster.
I mean yea... Maybe he admired it.. but I think gacey was just trying to get out of the situation by flattering the young boy and playing it off like it was just a joke.
@@Jupit_hare a little late reply but yeah, he probably got scared and tried playing it off
Haven’t been here in awhile. Good video to do though 💯
He had the belongings of missing kids and they let him go?????
Exactly???? Like hello???
How can you tell if someone is trying to “groom” you? This is a serious question.
Also if they found the missing children’s items why didn’t they arrest him?
You never realize you were getting "groomed" until after the event, speaking from personal experience.
Sounds like the police work and abilities back then was pretty shitty, I think if a missing person's belongings were found now somewhere, they would have enough evidence to execute a heavy search.
>How can you tell if someone is trying to “groom” you? This is a serious question.
Grooming is an attempt by a manipulator to change your personality to suit their purposes. Most commonly seen in extreme flattery (pe*ophiles(not sure if that word's blocked) very commonly tell victims that they're "very mature for their age", which is both a compliment _and_ tells them they're just too smart to fall for something like this), promising something that you don't have in your life (like validation if you come from a neglectful family), and attempts to normalize or involve the victim in crimes- because if you're both guilty then you're stuck together (this isn't actually how the law works, by the way, don't fall for it)
Actually about that last one, one of the weirdest things I heard is that its apparently? normal for pephiles to try to get their victims to watch child pornogaphy with them. Like as an opener for sex. I have no clue why they think that would work. You figure it would just make everyone involved deeply uncomfortable.
But going back to grooming, you know that line about never accepting candy from strangers? The easiest metric for this is that it's okay to accept gifts from people, _but not if they want you to do something in return._ Because that's not a gift, it's payment.
I was groomed as an adult. I knew what he was doing and what he wanted, and he was fun to be around, so I hung out with him and took advantage of his lifestyle as he was fairly affluent, and frankly, I enjoyed the attention.
Basically, groomers will shower you with attention. They will act like your best friend, like they care, pay your way, try to gain your confidence, isolate you, and eventually start to suggest to their intentions. The guy coming after me was a doctor, surgeon, and he was 70+ years old. Lot of attention. He tried to get me high/drunk, suggested we watch porn together, asked me about my sexual experiences, explicitly offered to blow me. I told him repeatedly I wasn’t a homosexual and wasn’t interested, yet he pursued. So I played him.
It was only when he began masturbating in front of me (under the sheets) that I basically told him to get bent, nearly coming to a violent confrontation. But I got a lot out of him, and it was a fun time aside. If people wanna try to groom me that’s great, I will take them for all they’re worth and laugh at their frustrations. 😂 This guy spent over $20k on me.
I do believe he had help getting them bodies n the crawl space ( But then again you never know ) cuz he couldnt fit down there & do it himself. A evil evil horrible monster
Of course everyone celebrated that piece of crap being put down. Geez I don't understand that Karen Mrs. Why try and get that out of a death sentence?
Because there's always a few idiots left in the world.
@@reyganbriggs6785 you've got that right😱
The narrator needs to calm down.
My father beat me for years, yet I didn’t turn out to be a serial killer and have never laid a hand on any of my children. Education plays a large part in how someone develops.
And yet we are here watching THIS. Trauma.
Gacy is just a microcosm of the cycle of trauma that exists in this world.
Wtf was going on in the 70s? RIP to all the victims...
