An extensive ainvestigation of the terrifying true story of serial killer John Wayne Gacy, detailing his life as a seemingly respectable Chicago businessman and his secret existence as a sadistic predator. It explains how Gacy, known as Pogo the Clown, targeted vulnerable young men in the 1970s and describes the disappearance of two victims, Johnny Buukovich and Robert Past, whose cases eventually led police to Gacy's home. The text outlines the harrowing account of an earlier survivor, Jeffrey Wrignel, who identified Gacy after a brutal attack, and emphasizes the killer's arrogance and narcissistic belief that he was too clever to be caught, which ultimately led to the discovery of dozens of bodies buried beneath his house. The source concludes with Gacy's conviction on 33 counts of murder and the lasting cultural impact of his crimes, particularly the association of clowns with horror.----------------------------------------------------------Don't forget to subscribe to the Casefile Confidential podcastTwo chilling episodes will be released every week, on Tuesdays and Fridays.---------------------------------------------------------- Visit tonysale.com for original case files, in-depth articles on unsolved and forgotten crimes, and a collection of books that dig deep into the world’s darkest chapters.
