crimes of the century: John Wayne Gacy

crimes of the century: John Wayne Gacy by ric gustafson


Starting in January 1972 and escalating in 1975, young boys and young men were disappearing in     Chicago.  During a six year wave of terror, at least 33 boys and young men were murdered.  One day, the murder of 15 year old Robert Piest led investigators to the home of John Wayne Gacy. A background check had revealed that Gacy had been in an Iowa prison for sodomizing a teenage boy. A December 1978 search of Gacy's home revealed 27 bodies had been buried under the house, in the backyard and the garage. Piest's body and others were in a nearby river.
Gacy was convicted of the killings in 1980 and executed by lethal injection 14 years later.
