Inside the Crawl Space: How John Wayne Gacy Got Away With 33 Murders

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

What do you do when the monster lives next door?
Between 1972 and 1978, John Wayne Gacy lured dozens of boys and young men into his suburban Chicago home under the guise of job offers, parties, and charm. He was a contractor. A volunteer. A political glad-hander. And at night, he was a killer—burying bodies under his house while waving to neighbors from the front yard.
In this longform true crime deep dive, we unravel the full story of John Wayne Gacy—from his early life and chilling psychological profile, to the horrific details of how he targeted victims, how the system failed to stop him, and the legal process that finally brought him to justice.
This isn’t just another “killer clown” story. This is a story about how evil wears a mask. How a man with a camera-ready smile, a Pogo the Clown costume, and a reputation for charity work got away with 33 murders while police looked the other way. We dig into the psychological red flags, the forensic evidence, the survivor testimony, and the court case that exposed one of the most prolific serial killers in American history.
Based strictly on confirmed facts and trial records, this episode is designed for a true crime audience that values depth, accuracy, and emotional clarity. It’s a cautionary tale about power, manipulation, and what happens when predators know exactly how to blend in.
This is the story of the man beneath the floorboards.
This is the story of John Wayne Gacy.
