S5 Ep. 12 - John Wayne Gacy - The Killer Clown

It's series finale time Blue Murder Clubbers and as sad as we are to come to the end of our travels around the world, we are very excited to bring you this huge case, the case of the killer clown, John Wayne Gacy.The inspiration for Stephen King's IT and many other creepy clown stories, Gacy's crimes really were the stuff of nightmares.Born into a normal family in 1940's Chicago, Gacy struggled with his bi-sexuality from an early age, and never seemed to understand the concept of consent.Jailed in his 20's for a s-x crime, Gacy went on to commit more and more offences until he finally tipped over into murder, progressing quickly to serial murder.His crimes went undetected for years until the law finally caught up with him and the most gruesome discovery was made in the crawl space under his house - the decomposing bodies over nearly 30 young men and boys.Thanks for listening everyone and we will be back soon for series 6 💙💙Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!
