What was it like to sit across from John Wayne Gacy, one of America’s most infamous serial killers? In this chilling episode of DEAD Talks, attorney Karen Conti shares her firsthand experience representing Gacy on death row. She recounts their hours of conversation, his manipulative mind games, and the shocking details he revealed—including the gruesome “Body Book.”

Thirty years after his execution, Conti looks back on the legal circus, the media frenzy, and the unanswered questions that remain. Were there more victims? Did Gacy have accomplices? What secrets went to the grave with him?

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
