Slipping Through The Cracks Of Justice John Wayne Gacy Part 4 “Handcuffs and Horror”

Tony Ciaglia Season 7 Episode 4

Step inside the twisted world of John Wayne Gacy—a suburban home that looked ordinary on the outside but hid unimaginable horrors within.

 In this episode, Tony and Al dive into Gacy’s chilling methods: his Tiki Bar of terror, the “magic trick” handcuffs that became instruments of torture, and his monstrous transformation from jovial host to sadistic predator. 

You’ll hear survivor accounts that expose the darkness behind his grinning clown mask, and we’ll reveal how his young employee, David Cram, dug more than just trenches in Gacy’s crawl space—he dug graves. 

Jeffrey Rignall’s face was burned from chloroform, his eyes haunted with terror. He reported the nightmare — the torture — the agony. The police did nothing. Ignored him. Why? Because he was gay. But Jeffrey refused to be just another victim. He hunted his own monster — tracked the Oldsmobile to 8213 West Summerdale. Handed the police Gacy on a silver platter. And they charged Gacy… with assault and battery. No search. No real investigation. Just another failure in a twisted circus. And the Clown Show kept rolling. So did the killing.

This is the story of how fear, deception, and violence turned an ordinary house into a slaughterhouse.
