This week we start a deep dive into the killer clown, John Wayne Gacy. Follow us through the early life of Gacy as we look at the blueprint for creating an American serial killer and rapist. We start with his birth on March 17, 1942 and dig into his childhood abuse, physical injuries, and illnesses. We will travel with Gacy to Vegas, Springfield IL., Waterloo Iowa and then back to the notorious house in Chicago IL.
