In this episode, your host Lisa discusses in the serial killer John Wayne Gacy's Connection to Arkansas.
John Wayne Gacy lives and works and hunts for young men in Chicago in 1972-1978--in that time frame he will brutally murder a known 33 young men. In Part 2, we pick up where the police are excavating in Gacy's crawl space. Over 4 months, they will find 33 victims bodies--only 22 victims will be identified by the time Gacy goes to trial for his murderous crimes in 1980. We will discuss how Gacy will detail for investigators his horrendous acts but will not always tell the truth. Gacy is sentenced to death on all 33 murder counts--we will cover his time in prison up until he is executed by lethal injection in 1994.
We will also discuss the Netflix and the Peacock documentaries; the tv show Gacy's sister interviews in called Evil Lives Here, his connection to Arkansas, his interviews from 1992 stating his innocence and what happened to his home on Summerdale.
