Our guest today, Karen Conti, was in high school at the time watching the bodies being removed from Gacy's
00:00:08
home on the television news. Gacy committed all of his known murders inside his ranch-style home. Typically,
00:00:16
he would lure a victim to his home and dupe them by donning handcuffs on the pretext of demonstrating a magic trick.
00:00:26
He would then rape and torture his captive before killing his victim by either asphyxiation or strangulation
00:00:34
with a garrote. 26 victims were buried in the crawlspace of his home, and three were buried elsewhere on his property,
00:00:42
and four victims were discarded in the Des Plaines River. Gacy's conviction for 33 murders by one individual then
00:00:50
covered the most homicides in United States legal history.
