Who is John Wayne Gacy?

John Wayne Gacy was an American serial killer and rapist who targeted young male victims. He was convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering 33 teenage boys and young men during the 1970s and sentenced to death for 12 of these killings, and eventually executed by lethal injection. He was born in Chicago, Illinois on March 17, 1942.  A teenage boy named Robert Piest disappeared in late 1978. A person known to Robert identified the contractor in question as John Gacy and the police obtained a search warrant for his home. An extensive search of Gacy’s house and the surrounding region in December 1978 revealed horrifying secrets and the police discovered several bodies around his property. Even though he initially claimed innocence, he eventually confessed to the police that he had committed approximately 25 to 30 murders since 1972. His last known victim Robert Piest’s body was finally recovered from a lock on the Illinois River in April 1979. He spent several years on death row and was executed by lethal injection at Stateville Correctional Center on May 10, 1994.
