The first known account of John Gacy’s sadistic behavior began after his marriage to Marilynn Myers in 1964 in Iowa. He was working in management at his father-in-law’s restaurant and somehow lured a young boy to the back and tried to sodomize him when he refused to perform oral sex. The boy reported Gacy to the police and he ended up doing 18 months of a 10 year prison sentence on a sexual molestation convictionJohn Gacy was a very known man in his community. His nieghbors saw him and kind, caring, and pretty normal... Well, aren't they all? He was divorced from Marilynn Myers after he tried to sodomize a young boy after lureing him into his apartment. The boy refused tp perform oral sex and reported gacy to the police. He ended up doing 18 months of a 10 year prison sentence on sexual molestation conviction.
Once out of jail and looking for work, Gacy would throw parties in which he would wear a clown suit, apply makeup to his face under the disguise of 'Pogo the Clown.' He cruised searching for homesexual young men and lured them to his home where he would then torture, rape and brutally kill them.
The police became suspicious of Gacy when a mother of one boy who was to meet Gacy about a job never returned home. When the police saw Gacy’s criminal record they began to keep a close eye on him. One day he invited the police in for coffee. The police accepted the invitation and once inside they became ovrwhelmed by a strong odor which they recognized as possibly coming from a decaying dead body.
About 33 bodies were discovered buried in Gacy's crawl space with ages ranging from 9 to mid 20's.
After he was convicted and sentenced to death in 1980, he continued to taunt authorities with different versions of his story about the murders but authorities were not swayed, and on May 10, 1994 Gacy's execution by lethal injection was carried out.
