John Wayne Gacy (related case)

John Wayne Gacy was an American serial killer active in the 1970s, known for the brutal murders of at least 33 young men and boys in Illinois. Gacy lured his victims to his home, where he would often impersonate a police officer or promise them work. He buried many bodies under his house, making the case particularly gruesome. Gacy's arrest in 1978 led to a high-profile trial where he was convicted of multiple counts of murder. He was executed in 1994, and his case raised significant discussions about psychopathology and law enforcement's handling of missing persons.
