Manage episode 456293990 series 3625740
In late Dec 1978 the bodies of 26 boys were excavated from under the house of local businessman and democratic precinct captain John Wayne Gacy. Gacy would go on to be convicted of 33 murders of young men and boys, the most prolific case of serial murder the US had seen to that point and a bookend to a decade of escalating serial murder inducted by Houston's Dean Corll who had murdered at least 28 boys and young men in the early 70s, though each are suspected of more. By the time the bodies had been unearthed from underneath the Gacy dwelling it had become clear how many victims had been ignored next door and that serial murder could be ignored or banished to the margins no longer
