John Wayne Gacy-Part One: All Abuse & No Play Makes John a Dull Boy

Join us for Part One of a two part series on America's favorite clown: Mr. John Wayne Gacy! Part loveable family man who volunteered at local children's hospitals, part rapist/murderer who targeted young men in Chicago, Gacy has made quite the name for himself in serial killer pop culture. Many of you know him as Pogo the Clown, his alter ego, but you may not know about his early development and his less than ideal childhood. In Part One, we discuss the origin story of Gacy while also working our way up to his first murder and first "use" of his new home's ample crawlspace. Did I mention his extensive childhood medical history and head injury yet? As Laura says, "It's always a head injury." Tune in to find out more!
