n the quiet Chicago suburb of Norwood Park, no one suspected the friendly, successful contractor—who sometimes entertained as "Pogo the Clown"—was a monster.
Join us as we descend into the grim reality of John Wayne Gacy's house of horrors. This episode covers the terrifying moments of December 1978, when the search for a missing teenager led police not just to Gacy, but to the unthinkable secret buried in his home.
We detail the horrific and painstaking process of excavating the crawl space, where investigators ultimately uncovered the remains of 33 young men—a discovery that shocked the nation and revealed Gacy as one of America's most prolific serial killers.
- The unsettling signs neighbors ignored: The foul stench Gacy blamed on a "moisture problem."
- The crucial steps of the investigation that led to Gacy's arrest and confession.
- The desperate, muddy, and chilling recovery effort in the cramped crawl space.
- How modern DNA technology decades later is still working to give names back to Gacy's unidentified victims.
Tune in for a deep dive into the shocking truth hidden beneath a suburban ranch home, and the legacy of the infamous "Killer Clown."
