Gacy lured victims to his home with the promise of work or a warm bed and then duped them into putting on handcuffs, claiming he wanted to show them a magic trick. He would then rape and torture his victims before killing them by suffocating or strangling them. Twenty-six were buried in the crawl space beneath his home; others were buried elsewhere on his property, while a handful were dumped in the Des Plaines River. While Gacy was executed for his sickening crimes in 1994, his terrifying spectre continues to haunt us. At least five of his victims remain unidentified and detectives have always suspected that the known victims were just the tip of the iceberg. Gacy even told one detective that his tally of murders was closer to forty-five victims. How many victims were there? Did Gacy act alone? And what drove John Wayne Gacy to murder? Was it his alcoholic, abusive father or was it something deep within him that caused the seemingly normal Gacy to sexually assault, torture and murder at least thirty-three young men and boys? And who was the John Wayne Gacy who regularly performed at children's hospitals and charitable events as Pogo, or Patches, the Clown? The Gacy who was a player in local Democratic Party circles?"--Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Gacy, John Wayne $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000390616847 650 0 $a Serial murderers $z Chicago $z Chicago $v Biography. 650 0 $a Serial murders $z Chicago $z Chicago $x History $y 20th century. 600 17 $a Gacy, John Wayne. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00043901 650 7 $a Serial murderers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01113110 650 7 $a Serial murders. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01113115 651 7 $a Illinois $z Chicago. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204048 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230606011331.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E8475A0042F11EE896B6DEA35ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
