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

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.
