John Wayne Gacy was an American serial killer and sex offender who gained notoriety for his heinous crimes. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Gacy was known for his involvement in community activities and for dressing up as "Pogo the Clown" to entertain children at events. However, behind this facade, he led a dark double life.

Between 1972 and 1978, Gacy murdered at least 33 young men and boys. Many of his victims were lured to his home with the promise of employment, only to be subjected to sexual assault and brutal violence. Gacy often buried his victims in the crawl space beneath his house.

Gacy's crimes came to light in 1978 when he was arrested for the disappearance of 15-year-old Robert Piest. During the investigation, the police discovered the gruesome evidence of Gacy's other murders. In 1980, Gacy was convicted of multiple counts of murder and sentenced to death.

He spent years on death row appealing his case, but Gacy was eventually executed by lethal injection at the Stateville Correctional Center in Illinois on May 10, 1994. John Wayne Gacy's case remains one of the most notorious and disturbing instances of serial murder in American history.
