Murder In America

Chapters

John Wayne Gacy's killing spree began after he moved to a new home in a Chicago suburb, where he had a fresh start without anyone knowing of his dark past.

Shownotes Transcript

It was the height of the 1970s and dozens of young men from the Chicago area started going missing. 33 young men, to be exact. By 1978, 29 of the 33 missing young men would be found, dead, in the small home on Summerdale Avenue in the Chicago suburbs. Some were buried in the backyard, others in a concrete slab in the garage, but most would be found in the cold, wet, and crowded crawlspace beneath the home. It would not be long before the entire world knew the name of the man responsible - this is part two of the story of John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, and you are listening to Murder in America.
