In our last episode, we ended with John Wayne Gacy’s execution - but the story does not end there. There has long been speculation that Gacy did not act alone, and after spending weeks researching this case we’ve learned a lot of things that are just too crazy to ignore, like one of Gacy’s PDM employees becoming a cannibalistic serial killer and another being connected to one of America’s largest pedophile rings. In this episode, we’re diving into the largely unknown conspiracy behind the killer clown’s murders.

With a victim count totalling 32 in the summer of 1978, there was one more life that John Wayne Gacy would take before his rein of terror would come to an end. When Robert Piest, a beloved honors student, went missing in December 1978 the police would soon zero in on the man responsible for the missing boys around Chicago - and what they would find in the unassuming suburban Chicago home would shock not only America, but the entire world. And that discovery would soon earn Gacy the title of the most prolific serial killer in American history. Join us on this episode, as we walk you through Gacy’s final murder, and everything that followed.

It was the height of the 1970s and dozens of young men from the Chicago area started going missing. 33 young men, to be exact. By 1978, 29 of the 33 missing young men would be found, dead, in the small home on Summerdale Avenue in the Chicago suburbs. Some were buried in the backyard, others in a concrete slab in the garage, but most would be found in the cold, wet, and crowded crawlspace beneath the home. It would not be long before the entire world knew the name of the man responsible - this is part two of the story of John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, and you are listening to Murder in America.-Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamericaInstagram: http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmericaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowenFeeling spooky?

It was the 1970s, and young men who had their whole lives in front of them started going missing around the greater Chicago area. While some disappeared while looking for a job in the city, or hanging out near the Greyhound bus station, or walking along the roads outside of Chicago, the one thing all 33 missing young men had in common was that they were manipulated and murdered by a man named John Wayne Gacy, with many of their bodies being left to decompose within the crawlspace of his suburban Chicago home.
