On occasion, he has said that the only crime he is guilty of was operating a cemetery without a license. Then he began saying that he knew nothing about any of the murders except one, that of a boy he brought home from a Greyhound bus station and had sex with, then killed after the boy attacked him with a knife from his kitchen. He told them more the next day and more on the day after that. On the night he was arrested, he gave the police an account of the murders his lawyers asked him not to, but he insisted. For the others, he was sentenced to death. Twenty-one of the murders were committed before Illinois had enacted a death penalty, and for those Gacy was sentenced to twenty-one terms of life in prison. About many of the murders there was a suggestion of sexual torture. Twenty-seven of the bodies were buried in a crawl space beneath the house where Gacy lived, in a neighborhood out by O’Hare Airport. No one else in America has ever been convicted of killing so many people. The murders took place between 19, when he was caught and arrested. On March 12, 1980, he was convicted in Chicago of killing thirty-three boys. John Wayne Gacy is obsessively fond of defending his innocence, which is imaginary.
He says, “I didn’t know how to think like a con it wasn’t part of my nature.” A snapshot taken of Gacy on death row in Illinois.
