BONUS: Behind the John Wayne Gacy Bombshell with Defense Diaries' Bob Motta

"It would have been a nightmare. One of the most prolific serial killers in American history would have f*%$ing walked." When Bob Motta Jr. turned 21, his father gave him a gift. It wasn't his first (legal) drink, or the car that Bob wanted. It was something much more unique: 15 hours of never before heard tapes containing pre-trial conversations between John Wayne Gacy and one of his defense attorneys: Bob Motta Sr. For 30 years - even after becoming a defense attorney himself - Bob sat on the gift. A few years ago, however, he decided that they were something that needed to be shared with the world. When he dug into producing a podcast about the tapes and about a new look at the Gacy case, he never expected he would uncover bombshell revelations that could have completely changed the course of history.
