John Wayne Gacy became world famous as the "Killer Clown".
His tricks took the lives of 33 people.
He ran a successful construction business. He was involved in politics and shook hands with the first lady of the United States. In the guise of a clown, Pogo entertained sick children. He was a husband and a caring stepfather. But no one knew that at night John Wayne Gacy tracked young boys from troubled neighborhoods. And brutally murdering them. Nearly 30 decomposed bodies were found in the basement of his house. The rest he dumped in the river.
It wasn't until the murder of 15-year-old Robert Piste, a good boy from a well-to-do family, that began the police surveillance of Gacy, followed by his confession to serial murder and one of the most shocking trials in U.S. history.
Why did John Gacy become a killer? What motivated a prosperous young man to unleash a reign of terror in Chicago? And how did he manage to evade justice for several years? This book, based on the memoirs of police officers, defense attorneys, and prosecutors in the John Wayne Gacy case, tells the full story of the infamous Killer Clown.
