It was the biggest shock in the United States when John Wayne Gacy, a very well respected member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the owner of a contracting business, local Democratic party's precinct captain, confessed about his crimes. The day of December 22, 1978, Gacy admitted to burying 28 victims underneath his house, in a crawlspace and disposing 5 other victims in the Des Plaines River.
Gacy was borin in 1942 and had a very normal childhood. He had a wonderful relationship with his mother and sisters. His father was an abusive alcoholic. After Gacy married and had two kids, there had been rumors circulating that he was a homosexual and a child molester.
Gacy would place real handcuffs on his victims and lure them in the pretext of demonstrating "trick" handcuffs. He would then dare them to free themselves. While his victims, mostly boys, were busy trying to free themselves, he would tie a rope around them or threaten to slit their throats if they made any noise. He would later molest and rape his victims. When he started his contracting business he would hire mostly young teenage boys. His employees soon started to disappear. His neighbors would complain about the strange odors coming from his house and thats when he surrounded himself voluntarily when he realized that the police were about to arrest him.
Police had discovered tons of evidence along with 33 bodies buried on and near Gacy's property. He was convicted and sentenced to death by lethal injection which was carried out on May 10, 1994.
His last words was: Kiss my ass
He showed no remorse for his actions. He is a disgusting person.
