Be careful. Last time got one serial killer looking for young boys. Protect yourself.
John Wayne Gacy, Jr. (March 17, 1942 – May 10, 1994) was an American serial killer active between 1972 and 1978. Until he was arrested, Gacy raped and murdered at least 33 young men and boys, mostly teenagers. Although some of his victims' bodies were found in the Des Plaines River, he buried 26 of them in the small crawl space underneath the basement of his home and three more elsewhere on his property. He became known as the "Killer Clown" due to his charitable services at fundraising events and at children's parties where he would dress up as "Pogo the Clown," a character he devised himself.
Early life
John Wayne Gacy was born in Chicago, Illinois, the only son and the second of three children born of John Samuel Gacy (June 20, 1900 – December 25, 1969), a machinist, and Marion Elaine (née Robinson; May 4, 1908 – December 14, 1989).[1][2][3]
Gacy was of Polish and Danish heritage.[4] As a child, he was both overweight and nonathletic. He was close to his two sisters and mother (who affectionately called him "Johnny"),[5] but was regularly disciplined by his father—an alcoholic who was physically abusive toward his wife and children[6]--with a leather belt.[7] Gacy continuously strove to please his difficult father but seldom received his approval: he was often belittled by his father and was regularly called a "sissy",[5][8] "stupid" and a "Mama's boy."[7]
At the age of nine, Gacy was molested by a family friend.[7] When he was 11, he was struck on the forehead by a swing. The resulting head trauma formed a blood clot in his brain that went unnoticed until he was 16, when he began to suffer blackouts. His father suspected the episodes were an effort to gain sympathy and accused his son of faking.[9] Gacy was prescribed medication to dissolve the clot.[10][11]
Gacy attended four different high schools but dropped out of every one, never actually graduating. At the age of 20, following an argument with his father, Gacy left home and moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he worked in a mortuary for three months before returning to Chicago.[12]
Without returning to high school, Gacy enrolled in and eventually graduated from Northwestern Business College.[13][14] He obtained a management-trainee position with the Nunn-Bush Shoe Company shortly after graduation. In 1964, Gacy was transferred to Springfield, Illinois to work as a salesman.[12] There he met co-worker Marlynn Myers, and they married in September 1964.
After completing his apprenticeship, Gacy was promoted to manager of his department. He became active in local Springfield organizations, joining the Jaycees and rising to vice-president of the Springfield chapter by 1965.[1
Move to Iowa, first offenses and imprisonment
Following a lucrative offer from Gacy's father-in-law to appoint him manager of three KFC restaurants,[16] Gacy and his wife moved from Illinois and settled in Waterloo, Iowa. In 1967, Gacy fathered a son, followed by a daughter in 1969.
Shortly after his arrival in the city, Gacy had his first sexual experience with a man: a colleague of the Waterloo Jaycees—whom Gacy had joined upon his arrival in the city—performed fellatio upon Gacy while he was drunk.[17]
Gacy was an enthusiastic worker for the Waterloo Jaycees, becoming a tireless worker on several fund-raising projects. In 1967, he was named "outstanding vice-president" of the Waterloo Jaycees.[18] However, there was a steamier side of Jaycee life in Waterloo: one that involved wife-swapping,[17] prostitution, pornography and drugs. Gacy was deeply involved in many of these activities, and regularly cheated on his wife.[19]
In 1967, Gacy began to abuse teenage male employees of the restaurants he managed.[20] Gacy opened a "club" in his basement, where he allowed employees to drink alcohol before he made sexual advances toward them.[20] One youth was encouraged to sleep with Gacy's wife, then blackmailed into performing oral sex upon Gacy.[20] Several teenagers were conned into believing Gacy was commissioned into carrying out homosexual experiments in the interests of "scientific research," for which the youths were paid up to $50.[21]
Gacy's double life in Waterloo came to a sudden halt in March 1968 when two local boys, aged 15 and 16, accused him of sexually assaulting them.[22] Gacy professed his innocence, but in August of that year he hired another Waterloo youth to physically assault one of his accusers in an effort to discourage the boy from testifying against him. The youth was caught and confessed, and Gacy was arrested.[23] On December 3, 1968,[24] Gacy was convicted of sodomy and sentenced to 10 years at Anamosa State Penitentiary, located in Jones County, Iowa.[24][25] The day Gacy was sentenced, his wife petitioned for divorce,[26] and requested possession of the couples' home, property and subsequent alimony payments.[27] The Court ruled in her favor and the divorce was final in September, 1969. Gacy never saw his first wife or children again.[28]
In prison, Gacy rose to the position of head cook and was a model prisoner:[29] joining an all-inmate Jaycee chapter in which he actively supervised several projects to improve conditions for inmates at the prison [30] and even managed to secure an increase in the inmates' daily pay. He also oversaw the installation of a miniature golf course in the prison's recreation yard.
In June 1969, Gacy first applied to the State of Iowa Board of Parole for early release, which was initially denied. In preparation for a second scheduled hearing in May 1970, Gacy completed sixteen high school courses, for which he obtained his diploma in November, 1969.[31]
Gacy's father died from cirrhosis of the liver on Christmas Day 1969.[31] Gacy was not told his father had passed away until several days after his death. When he heard the news, he broke down in tears and had to be supported by prison staff.[31] Gacy requested compassionate leave from prison to attend his father's funeral, but his request was denied.[
Murders
On January 2, 1972, Gacy, engaged to marry his second wife, picked up a 15-year-old youth named Timothy Jack McCoy from Chicago's Greyhound bus terminal. McCoy–traveling en route from Michigan to Omaha[55]–was taken on a sightseeing tour of Chicago by Gacy, then driven to his home on the promise that he could spend the night and be driven back to the station in time to catch his bus. According to Gacy, the following morning, he awoke to find McCoy standing in his bedroom doorway with a kitchen knife in his hand.[56] Gacy leapt from his bed and McCoy raised both arms in a gesture of surrender, tilting the knife upwards and accidentally cutting Gacy's forearm (Gacy had the scar on his arm to prove this incident). Gacy twisted the knife from McCoy's wrist, banged his head against his bedroom wall then kicked him against his wardrobe and walked towards him. McCoy then kicked him in the stomach and Gacy then stabbed McCoy repeatedly in the chest and watched him slide down towards the floor.[44] Gacy claimed he then went to his kitchen and saw an opened carton of eggs and a slab of unsliced bacon on his kitchen table. McCoy had also set the table for two: he had walked into Gacy's room to wake him while absentmindedly carrying the kitchen knife in his hand.[57] Gacy subsequently buried McCoy in his crawlspace and later covered the youth's grave with a layer of concrete.[58]
Three years later, in July 1975, one of Gacy's employees, 17-year-old John Butkovitch, disappeared. The day prior to his disappearance, Butkovitch had threatened Gacy over two weeks' outstanding back pay.[59] Gacy later admitted to luring Butkovitch to his home while his wife and stepchildren were visiting his sister in Arkansas,[59] ostensibly to settle the issue of Butkovitch's overdue wages. Gacy conned the youth into cuffing his wrists behind his back, then strangled him to death and buried his body under the concrete floor of his garage. Gacy later admitted to having "sat on the kid's chest for a while"[60] before killing him.
Butkovitch's Dodge sedan was found abandoned in a parking lot with the youth's wallet inside and the keys still in the ignition.[61] John Butkovitch's father called Gacy who claimed he was happy to help search for the youth but was sorry Butkovitch had "run away."
Gacy was questioned about Butkovitch's disappearance and admitted the youth and two friends had arrived at his apartment demanding Butkovitch's overdue pay, but claimed all three youths had left after a compromise had been reached. Over the following three years, Butkovitch's parents called police more than 100 times,[62] urging them to investigate Gacy further.[63]
Gacy's second wife divorced him eight months later, and Gacy began to kill more frequently as he now had the house to himself. Between April and October 1976, Gacy killed a minimum of eight youths between the ages of 14 and 18, seven of whom were buried in his crawlspace, and one beneath his dining room floor. In December 1976, another Gacy employee, Gregory Godzik, disappeared. Godzik had worked for PDM for only three weeks before he disappeared. In the time he had worked for Gacy, he had informed his family Gacy had had him "dig trenches for some kind of (drain) tiles" in his crawlspace.[64]
Godzik's parents and older sister, Eugenia, contacted Gacy about Greg's disappearance. Gacy claimed to the family that Greg had run away from home, and had indicated to Gacy prior to his disappearance that he wished to do so. Gacy also claimed to have received a recorded answering machine message from Godzik shortly after the youth had disappeared. When asked if he could play back the message to Godzik's parents, Gacy stated he had erased the message.[64][65]
On January 20, 1977, John Szyc; a 19-year-old acquaintance of Butkovich, Godzik and Gacy, disappeared. Szyc was lured to Gacy's house on the pretext of selling his Plymouth Satellite to Gacy. He was buried in Gacy's crawlspace directly above the body of Godzik.[66] Gacy later sold Szyc's car to another of his employees.[67]
In April, 1977,[68] following the March 15 murder of 20-year-old Jon Prestidge–a Michigan youth who disappeared while visiting friends in Chicago–Gacy became temporarily engaged to a woman he had been dating for three months and his fiancée moved into his house. By mutual agreement, the engagement was called off in June of that year and his fiancée moved out of his home.[69]
Between July and December 1977, Gacy killed a further seven young men between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, including the son of a Chicago Police Sergeant.
In August 1977, a clue emerged to the disappearance of John Szyc when the same employee to whom Gacy had sold Szyc's car was arrested for stealing gasoline from a station while driving Szyc's car. Upon investigating the theft, Gacy told officers that Szyc had sold the car to him before leaving town. The police did not pursue the matter further.[70]
On December 30, 1977, Gacy abducted a 19-year-old student named Robert Donnelly from a Chicago bus stop at gunpoint.[71] Donnelly was driven to Gacy's home where the teenager was raped, tortured with various devices and repeatedly had his head dunked into a bathtub filled with water until he passed out before Gacy revived him. Donnelly later testified at Gacy's trial that he was in such pain that he asked Gacy to kill him to "get it over with,"[72] to which Gacy replied: "I'm getting 'round to it." After several hours of assaulting and torturing the youth, Gacy drove Donnelly to his place of work, removed the handcuffs from the youth's wrists and released him. Donnelly reported the assault and Gacy was questioned about the assault on January 6, 1978. Gacy admitted to having had "slave-sex" with Donnelly, but insisted everything was consensual. The police believed him, and no charges were filed.[73]
The following month after Chicago police decided Gacy was a more credible witness than Donnelly,[74] Gacy killed a 19-year-old youth named William Kindred, who disappeared February 16, 1978 after telling his fiancée he was to spend the evening in a bar. Kindred was the final victim to be buried in Gacy's crawlspace,[75][76] and Gacy began disposing of his victims in the Des Plaines River.
In March 1978, Gacy lured Jeffrey Rignall into his car. Upon entering the car, the young man was chloroformed and driven to the house on Summerdale, where he was raped, tortured with various instruments including lit candles and repeatedly chloroformed into unconsciousness.[77] Rignall was then driven to Lincoln Park, where he was dumped unconscious, but alive and managed to stagger to his girlfriend's apartment. Rignall was later informed the chloroform had permanently damaged his liver. Police were again informed of the assault, but did not investigate Gacy. Rignall remembered, through the chloroform haze of that night, Gacy's black Oldsmobile, the Kennedy Expressway and particular side streets. He staked out the exit on the Expressway where he knew he had been driven until–in April[78]–he saw Gacy's distinctive black Oldsmobile, which he and his friends followed to 8213 West Summerdale. Police issued an arrest warrant,[79] and Gacy was arrested on July 15. He was facing an impending trial upon a battery charge for the Rignall incident when he was arrested in December for the murders.[80]
Investigation
On December 11, 1978, John Gacy visited a Des Plaines pharmacy to discuss a potential remodelling deal with the owner of the store, While discussing the potential deal, Gacy was heard mentioning that his firm hired teenage boys while he was within earshot of a 15-year-old employee named Robert Jerome Piest.[81]
After Gacy left the store, Piest told his mother–who had come to collect her son–that "some contractor wants to talk to me about a job." Robert left the store, promising to return shortly.[82] When Piest failed to return, his family filed a missing persons report on their son with the Des Plaines Police. The owner of the pharmacy named Gacy as the contractor Piest had most likely left the store to talk with.
Gacy denied talking to Piest when Des Plaines police called him the next day,[83] and promised to come to the station later that evening to make a statement confirming this, indicating he was unable to do so as his uncle had just died. At 3:30 a.m., Gacy, covered in mud, arrived at the police station, claiming he had been involved in a car accident.[84] Upon returning to the station later that day, Gacy flatly denied any involvement in Robert Piest's disappearance, and denied offering the youth a job.
Des Plaines police were convinced Gacy was behind Piest's disappearance and checked Gacy's record, discovering that he had an outstanding battery charge against him in Chicago and had served a prison sentence in Iowa for sodomy.[85] A search of Gacy's house on December 13 turned up several suspicious items: a 1975 high school class ring, driver's licenses for other people, handcuffs, a two-by-four with holes drilled in the ends, books on homosexuality and pederasty,[86] a syringe, clothing too small for Gacy, and a photo receipt from the pharmacy where Robert Piest worked. Police decided to assign two two-man surveillance teams to follow Gacy, while they continued their investigation of Gacy into Piest's disappearance.[87] Gacy filed a $750,000 civil suit against the Des Plaines police, demanding the police surveillance cease. The hearing of his suit was scheduled for December 22.
Further investigation into Gacy's background linked him to the disappearance of three additional youths. One of Gacy's employees informed detectives of Gregory Godzik's disappearance,[88] and Gacy's second wife, told of the disappearance of John Butkovich[89]. The high school ring found in Gacy's house was traced to John Szyc.[90] On December 18, the Nisson Pharmacy photo receipt found in Gacy's kitchen was traced to a colleague of Piest's who admitted she had placed it in his parka jacket just before he left the store, proving conclusively Piest had been in Gacy's house.[91] Another employee revealed Gacy had made him dig trenches in the crawlspace of his house.[92]
On December 20, 1978, Gacy invited two of the surveillance detectives inside his house. The police noticed the smell of corpses emanating from a heating duct. The officers who previously searched Gacy's house failed to notice this as on that occasion the house had been cold.[87] Gacy had remarked to two of the surveillance officers watching him in the days before his arrest, "You know... clowns can get away with murder!"[93] On the afternoon of December 21, the eve of the hearing of Gacy's civil suit, police obtained a second search warrant of Gacy's house. To hold Gacy in custody while the search commenced, officers arrested Gacy on a charge of marijuana possession.[94] Upon digging in the crawlspace of Gacy's Norwood Park Township residence, police quickly found several human bones and informed investigators they could charge Gacy with murder.[95]
After being informed that police had found human remains in his crawlspace and that he would now face murder charges, Gacy told officers he wanted to "clear the air,"[96] adding he knew his arrest was inevitable since he had spent the previous evening on the couch in his lawyers' office.
In the early hours of December 22, Gacy confessed to police that since 1972, he had committed approximately 25–30 murders, all of whom he (incorrectly) claimed were teenage male runaways or male prostitutes,[97] whom he would typically pick up from Chicago's Greyhound Bus station or off the streets and lure to his house with either the promise of a job with his construction company or with an offer of money for sex, or just grab them by force. Once back at Gacy's house, the victim would be handcuffed or tied in another way, then choked with a rope or a board as they were sexually assaulted. Gacy would often stick clothing in their mouths to muffle their screams. Many of his victims had been killed with a tourniquet, which Gacy referred to as his "rope trick." Occasionally, the victim had convulsed for an "hour or two" after the rope trick before dying.
The victims were usually lured alone to his house, although on approximately three occasions,[97] Gacy had what he called "doubles" - occasions where he killed two victims on the same evening.
Most victims would then be buried in his crawlspace where, periodically, Gacy would pour quicklime to hasten the decomposition of the bodies.[98] Gacy stated he had lost count of the number of victims buried in his crawlspace and had thrown the final five victims–all killed in 1978–off the I-55 bridge into the Des Plaines River because his crawlspace was "full."[29][99] He also confessed to police he had buried the body of John Butkovitch in his garage.[100] To assist officers in their search for the victims buried in his house, Gacy drew a diagram of his basement to show where the bodies were buried.[101]
Accompanied by police, Gacy returned to his house on December 22 and showed police where he had buried Butkovitch's body, then police drove to the spot on the I-55 bridge where he had thrown the body of Piest and four other victims (although only four of the five victims Gacy claimed to have disposed of in this way were ever recovered from the Des Plaines river).
Between December 1978 and March 1979, twenty-nine bodies were found at Gacy's property:[102] twenty-six of the victims were found buried in his crawlspace,[103] one victim was found buried beneath the concrete floor of Gacy's garage, a twenty-eighth victim was found buried in a pit beneath a barbecue in Gacy's back garden[104] and a twenty-ninth victim was found buried beneath the joists of Gacy's dining room floor.[102] Three additional bodies which had been found in the nearby Des Plaines river between June and December 1978 were also confirmed to have been victims of Gacy.
Several of the bodies were found with the ligature used to strangle them still knotted around their neck. In other instances, cloth gags were found lodged deep down the victims' throat, leading the investigators to conclude that thirteen of Gacy's victims died not of strangulation, but of asphyxiation.[105] Some victims were identified due to their known connection to Gacy through PDM Contractors;[106] others were identified due to their personal artifacts being found at 8213 Summerdale: one victim, 17-year-old Michael Bonnin, who had disappeared June 3, 1976 while travelling from Chicago to Waukegan[107] was identified because his fishing license was found at Gacy's home;[108] another youth, Tim O' Rourke, was last heard mentioning that a "contractor" had offered him a job.[75] Of Gacy's identified victims, the youngest were Samuel Stapleton and Michael Marino, both 14 years old; the oldest were Russell Nelson and James Mazzara, both 21 years old. Eight of the victims were so badly decomposed that they were never identified.
On April 9, 1979, Robert Piest's body was discovered on the banks of the Des Plaines River: during his autopsy, it was discovered that "paper-like material" had been shoved down his throat while he was alive.[109]
John Gacy was brought to trial on February 6, 1980, charged with 33 murders.[110][dubious ] He was tried in Rockford before Judge Louis Garrippo.[111]
In the year prior to his trial, at the request of his defense counsel, Gacy spent over 300 hours with the doctors at the Menard Correctional Center undergoing a variety of psychological tests[112] before a panel of psychiatrists to determine whether he was mentally competent to stand trial.
Gacy had attempted to convince the doctors he was suffering from a multiple-personality disorder.[113] His lawyers, however, opted to plead not guilty by reason of insanity to the charges against him, and produced several psychiatric experts who had examined Gacy the previous year to testify to their findings.[114] Three psychiatric experts appearing for the defense at Gacy's trial, testified they found Gacy to be a "paranoid schizophrenic" who did suffer from "a multiple-personality disorder."
The prosecution's case was that Gacy was sane and fully in control of his actions.[102] The prosecution produced several witnesses to testify to the premeditation of his actions and the efforts he went to in order to escape detection, plus doctors who refuted the defense doctors' claims of multiple-personality and insanity. Two witnesses who testified were PDM employees who confessed Gacy had made them dig trenches in his crawlspace. One of these employees, Michael Rossi, testified that in August 1977,[115] Gacy had marked a location in the crawlspace with sticks and told him to dig a drain trench. When asked where in the crawlspace he had dug, Rossi turned to a diagram of Gacy's home on display in the courtroom, showing where the bodies were found in the crawlspace and elsewhere on the property and pointed to the location of the body of an unidentified victim known as 'Body 13.' [116] Rossi stated he had not dug any other trenches, but—at Gacy's request—had supervised other PDM employees digging trenches in the crawlspace. He also testified that Gacy would periodically look into the crawlspace to ensure employees did not deviate from the precise locations he had marked.[117] Gacy had testified after his arrest he had had employees (including Gregory Godzik) dig trenches in order that he would "have graves available."[118]
During the third week of the trial, Gacy's defense team attempted to raise the possibility that all 33 murders were accidental erotic asphyxia deaths: the Cook County Coroner countered this assertion with evidence that Gacy's claim was impossible.[119]
On February 29, one of the youths Gacy had sexually assaulted in 1967, Donald Voorhees, testified to his ordeal at the hands of Gacy, who had subsequently paid another youth to beat him and spray mace in his face so he would not testify against him.[120] The youth felt unable to testify, but did attempt to briefly, before being asked to step down.[120] Robert Donnelly testified the week after Voorhees, recounting his ordeal at Gacy's hands in December 1977. He came close to breaking down on several occasions, but finished his testimony. The defense attempted to discredit Donnelly's testimony, but the youth refused to refute his testimony.
On the fifth week of the trial, Gacy wrote a letter to Judge Garippo, requesting a mistrial,[121] claiming he had been against the defense's insanity plea, that his defense team had not called enough witnesses, that he had been denied the opportunity to testify (as his defense counsel had advised him) and that the statements given by police as to what he had said after his arrest were false, 'self-serving' statements used by the prosecution.[122] Judge Garippo told Gacy that he had the choice as to whether he wished to testify, and was free to indicate if he wished to do so.
On March 11, both counsels began their final deliberations (which finished the following day). The prosecutions' Terry Sullivan spoke first, outlining Gacy's history of abusing youths, his efforts to avoid detection and describing Gacy's surviving victims—Voorhees and Donnelly—as "living dead."[123] After four hours' testimony, the prosecution rested, followed immediately by the defense's Sam Amirante. Amirante refuted the prosecution doctors' testimony, attempting to portray Gacy as a "man driven by compulsions he was unable to control,"[124] and repeatedly referred to the defense doctors' previous testimony. Amirante then argued that Gacy's psychology should be studied.
The Jury deliberated for less than two hours, and found Gacy guilty of each murder.[125] The following day, March 13, both the prosecution and defense made alternate pleas for the sentence the Jury should decide: the prosecution requesting the death sentence; the defense life imprisonment. The Jury deliberated for more than two hours before sentencing Gacy to death.[126][127]
