Gacy, a restaurant manager and a father of two in Waterloo, Iowa, sees his family-man image shatteredwhen two high school boys describe to authorities how he served them alcohol, forced them to watch pornographic films and initiated sexual contact; one also claims that Gacy attempted to strangle him. Gacy subsequently hires a high school senior to ...
One month after pleading guilty to sodomy, Gacy earns a 10-year prison sentence, the strict punishment meant to serve as "a further deterrent" to his preying on teenage boys.
Reportedly a well-behaved prisoner, Gacy is allowed to leave the Iowa State Reformatory for Men at Anamosa after just 18 months. Divorced from his wife, and his abusive father now deceased, he moves to his hometown of Chicago to live with his mother.
A teenage boy tells Chicago policethat Gacy picked him up from a bus station and tried to force him into having sex. The charges are dropped when the boy fails to show up to testify in court, and the incident seemingly escapes notice from the Iowa parole board.
Needing a larger space to operate his new construction business, PDM Contractors, Gacy and his mother move into a houseat 8213 West Summerdale Avenue in Norwood Park Township.
Returning to the bus station, Gacy picks up his first known murder victim, later identified as Timothy McCoy. After bringing the teenager home, where they drink and engage in sexual acts, Gacy stabs him to death and buries him in a crawl space.
Gacy marries Carol Hoff, a childhood friend. She notices a strange smell coming from the crawl space, but her husband blames it on the runoff from a sewer pipe, and attempts to stifle the smell by spreading concrete and lime in the area.
John Butkovich, one of the many young men and teenagers hired for PDM Contractors, disappearsafter a heated confrontation with Gacy over unpaid wages. His car is found near his parents' home the following day with the key in the ignition. Butkovich is later identified as Gacy's third murder victim.
The complaints beginning to pile up, police camp outat 8213 West Summerdale Avenue after a 9-year-old boy prostitute is reported missing. Attempts to question the young men coming and going from the house fail to uncover any relevant evidence.
Already living alone, Gacy has his separation from Carol formalized with their divorce. During this time he begins appearing more frequently around town as his alter ego, Pogo the clown. He also picks up the pace on his murderous spree, claiming another two dozen victimsfrom April 1976 through the end of 1977.
