The Lake Waco Murders Part 1

With the gentleman over at True Crime Garage doing a deep dive into Israel Keyes, I decided to rerun the episode I did with True Crime XS a few years back. 2020- Many thanks to John from the True Crime XS podcast for joining me this week. This is a story about finding the remains of some of the long-buried victims of a serial killer who committed suicide almost a decade ago. One of the most prolific serial killers of our time, and the authorities have only found one body. Join the hunt for the rest now! Thank you for tuning in to this week's episode of Who Killed...? Israel Keyes was an American serial killer, rapist, arsonist, burglar, and bank robber. Keyes admitted to violent crimes as early as 1996, with the violent sexual assault of a teenage girl in Oregon. He committed a long series of rapes and murders until his capture in 2012. Based upon an investigation conducted following his arrest in March 2012, Israel Keyes is believed to have committed multiple kidnappings and murders across the country between 2001 and March 2012. Keyes lived in Washington from 2001 to March 2007, when he moved to Alaska. While living in Alaska, Keyes worked as a general contractor but traveled extensively.  Anyone with information concerning Keyes is encouraged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. - FBI.gov Learn more about your ad choices.

One of Alicia's close friends joined me to discuss this 37-year-old case of missing a person. She is a victim advocate and has some interesting things to say about this case and how it may be solved. She also talks about their steps to discover what happened to their friend. Alicia Markovich, a 15-year-old from Windber, Pennsylvania, disappeared on April 26, 1987, after an argument at her father's home in Blairsville. Despite extensive searches and investigations, her case remains unsolved, leaving unanswered questions and a community still seeking closure. Over the years, web sleuths and family efforts have kept Alicia's story alive, hoping for new leads to unravel the mystery of her disappearance.

The FBI provided investigative assistance to Illinois police. In 1980, Gacy was convicted of murdering 33 young men ranging in age from 14 to 21. In 1978, after one of Gacy’s victims, Robert Piest, was reported missing, police learned that Gacy was the last person known to have seen him. After obtaining a search warrant, police discovered the bodies of 29 boys and young men in or near Gacy’s house; four other bodies were found in the nearby Des Plaines River. Indeed, the area of the house had emitted a foul stench for years, but Gacy had told his houseguests and his wife that the smell was the result of moisture buildup. At his trial Gacy’s plea of innocent by reason of insanity was supported by the testimony of several psychologists, who diagnosed him as schizophrenic, but was rejected by the jury, which found him guilty of all 33 murders of which he was accused; he was executed by lethal injection in 1994. - Britannica Follow Nic on Twitter @TCGNic Find all their shows and merchandise on their website True Crime Garage SOURCES: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97809682/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97811240/ https://apnews.com/article/chicago-2a5842ef8ee46f8d43799bc50f390ad8 https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Wayne-Gacy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5s7WMxSplg https://www.biography.com/news/john-wayne-gacy-timeline-murders https://vault.fbi.gov/John%20Wayne%20Gacy John Wayne Gacy timeline: The efforts to recover, name his 33 ...https://www.chicagotribune.com › history › ct-john-wa… John Wayne Gacy, the country's worst serial killer - Chicago ...https://www.chicagotribune.com › nation-world › chi-c… John Wayne Gacy - Chicago Tribunehttps://www.chicagotribune.com › topic › john-wayne-… Learn more about your ad choices.
