Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes

Season 1 Episode 2 - Eps 2: A Nicely Kept Secret

John Wayne Gacy was a serial killer who murdered 33 young men between 1972 and 1976. He was an aspiring politician, a well-liked local contractor, and a part-time clown for hire. Most of his victims were discovered buried beneath his home in the peaceful northwest suburbs of Chicago. DNA scientists are still trying to identify all of Gacy's victims 50 years after his death, but thanks to 60 hours of newly discovered audio between Gacy and his defense team, we have a new perspective on the narcissistic mindset of the murderer and a deeper understanding of how he was able to operate with impunity for so long.
