John Wayne Gacy Part 2: The Murders

Tonight we continue our deep dive into the damp, smelly and super greasy world of John Wayne Gacy. Tonight's episode focuses on the abductions, the assaults and the murders that took place over a 6 year period in the mid to late 70s. This pig took the lives of 33 young, teenage boys and he did it in some of the most disturbing ways imaginable.

Fair warning, there are some descriptions and mentioning of sexual assault and rape.
