He bashed in an inmate's face until bloody, but is released early on good behavior. Bizarre.
The beaten inmate probably didn't want to tell the prison authorities who did it and in what circumstances...
The guy who got beaten was a homosexual.
Remarkable Republican What does that mean?
I did a "wait, what?" myself. I guess his spiced chicken overrode his violent conduct.
Sorryitsmya it was in times where gays weren’t accepted into society and looked down up on like black people in those days

eccoJAM of course his kids are special. George Carlin was a cynic.
It's amazing what Gacy was able to get away with before he was caught. America was a different place during Gacy's lifetime. You could hide your past. This sort of thing would be impossible today.
Hope so.
Unless you are a priest!
Yes it's hard to start over with a clean slate.

Yea, especially now with digital footprints. No one is hidden on the internet, so guys: Don’t try stuff lol
My uncle used to bring Gacy his meals in prison, said he was very unnerving to be around.
Get that feeling from all politicians
Yeah, knowing a man killed at least 33 people, many of them still children, would kind of automatically make him unnerving.
Would be creepy! Did he say anything else about him?
Liar.
@@heinzkrupps5028 right, everything's a lie, everything's fake, interesting things only happen on tv and in movies because your life is so boring you can't picture anything interesting ever happening to anyone. gacy and his murders were probably just a tv show you saw.
i have a small story time. My grandpa tells me this story all the time and he said it’s something he’ll never forget.
My grandfather grew up in cook county, south side of Chicago. When he was younger him and his friend(i think his name was Billy DeSouza) went missing. They were at a carnival, and he said that they rode on their bikes there. My grandpa went to go and pee, and since they were around 12, he thought it would be fine to leave Billy alone.
When he came back, he lost Billy. He looked everywhere and searched and searched and he never found him. He went to the workers there and told them. Later, helicopters were flying very down low, megaphones in the pilots hand, screaming; “Billy, your parents aren’t mad, come home.” and “You can come home now Billy, your safe.” They said that they never found the body, and it remained a mystery.
After Gayce was found out, everyone freaked. He was there, that night when Billy went missing. It’s been a rumor in my family since them that Billy was killed by Gayce.
Anyways, i hope you enjoyed the short little story my grandpa loves to tell about this horrible man.
We now know that Gacy was part of a sex ring that kidnapped boys to high ranking politicians
Woah
Liar...stfu.
Have that family send his dental records to the CCSD
Heinz Krupps i’m not lying lmao
Damn! Sounds like you could get away with A LOT back in the day!
You still can! 😉😉
Ilkka Rautio no you can’t.
@@ilkkarautio2449 Not really. Now with the internet and video cameras everywhere you could never get away with this kind of open abuse that Gacy did.
Those were the days...

my god he did such evil acts to kids I am bout to throw up at this point
I posted a Craigslist ad years ago for a birthday party clown. I used pictures of Pogo, used his houses address and posted the listing in his area..... people actually responded to it wanting to schedule kids parties. History is so easily forgotten.

"So Gacy murdered a man in prison..."
"Anyways, his good behavior led him to an early release."
The video never stated he killed the man in prison, only that he beat him. It's still awful, but it just wasn't murder.
Dread Pirate Robin *nearly
@@ayhamshaheed7740 all he said in the video was he was beaten "bloody." That's far from nearly to death.
Zach Gates well, the video doesn’t specifics how bloody the beating was. I’m gonna assume it was significantly bloody
Prisoners don't snitch like that. A lot of stuff goes down in the big house that is talked about but never reported. Gacey was also a favourite for his cooking too, that speaks volumes too.
This is the first time I 100% disagree with your final summary. I was abused, mocked, ridiculed and left to die as a kid and it still in no way justify me killing an innocent for it. So poor John had a tough upbringing but at a certain point his choices were his own. I feel less than zero for the pure evil that he was.
This video got a bunch of stuff wrong, such as saying he commited murders dressed up as a clown (he never did this), that he randomly attacked the first victim (gacy woke up seeing him standing in the hall with a knife and thought the boy was going to attack him when he actually just made breakfast for the both of them).
@@flak4438 who cares about the true facts you get that it helps bring home the nonsense this maniac did

When I was a senior in high school in Wisconsin, I was in a Forensic Science class and one of the detectives who worked on the John Wayne Gacy case came in and spoke to my class and the high school Psychology class.
I know one of the people involved in investigating the case, but we've never talked about it.
Were you in Kenosha or Beloit? Somewhere near the boarder?

Wait a minute, he was married to a “Myers” and his first victim was a “Voorhees”?!
Sounds like a plot to a movie including Pennywise, Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees!
Baha T sounds like a fan fiction. I would love to read that!
or The Joker
That's where the ideas came from
Zak Jansen any relative of Jason’s is not to be messed with 💀 if you even walk across his mom he’d kill u
I stopped at the mention of Voorhees. It's not exactly a common name outside of campgrounds.
John Wayne Gacy loved all his kids. So much that he kept them all close by in the crawl space.
another abusive household creates a monster. I swear they need to have breeding licenses.
I think the issue is everyone at the time was so "tough" and rough around the edges that that's just what you did. Your kids talked back? Hit em, hard. They didn't take out the trash? Bash em. So at the time the punishment was probably worse than most families but also almost every families go to punishment was bashing the kid and almost everyone hated the gays at the time. Rough time to be alive for many.
Bro having fucking breeding licenses sounds like a horrible dystopian world

whenever I see these documentaries/Biographies on serial killers I am often amazed at just how close many of them came to getting caught earlier on, situations where 9 times out of 10 anyone would get caught but for some reason they didn't. John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer all had very close calls.
Its sad when you use an image that suppose to make people laugh and smile and you use that image for evil
Indeed.
Not sure that I'd trust clowns anyway
@@thebestcentaur Well he is one of the reasons as to why clowns are considered super scary now
He didn't dress like a clown while killing people. He only dressed like that when he put on shows for kids.

@@lylasaur6694 they moved away and just didn't talk to their families for forty years.
@@CurtisAlfeld how tf
Maybe because as a society we shame the victims and give cool names, tv interviews, and all the attention to the murderer. Since it was also back then, people would have probably made fun of the guys for being raped and call them sissies instead of giving them the emotional and psychological help they needed.
@شكور نائب الرئيس I live in the same society you live in. I also didn't specifically mention the victims of Gacy. I was talking about the perception society has regarding this crime. How come when women and men are raped instead of immediately reporting it to the authorities they choose to live with the secret unless someone does speak then everyone else does. In the case of women they could be called liars, sometimes people tell them that is because they were wearing revealing clothes so they were basically asking for it, that they should have known better than to go out in the middle of the night for whatever reason they were going out. In the case of men, if raped by another man, sometimes other men will call him gay and attack his masculinity and how did he even let it happen, and if a women raped him then society will literally almost see no issue as they think that's what we always want sex. I fortunately have not met someone in real life that is so cruel as to blame a victim of rape of the rape itself. You are lucky that wherever you live, people actually treat the victims with respect and the proper care instead of shaming them. But I can understand why some people would be curious as to how the mind of somehow who commits such crimes works. Yes off course, how could I dismiss the fact that any normal person is always wondering how a killers mind works and why they do what they did, how did I not think of that? Also, in case you didn't know, not every rape victim ends up murdered.
That kind of plays into something I was taught as the kid and that you should never hide who you are cuz it will make you very unwell it's the very bad for the psyche it's something we even talked about my psychology classes in college
Opening up with Sufjan's lyrics was brilliant. Set the tone for an already frightening, fascinating and tragic tale.
A bizarre footnote is that the current owner of Gacy's most infamous painting of Pogo is Johnny Depp. And Depp bought it purely to force himself to face up to his coulrophobia - an irrational fear of clowns.
Not sure what to think of this..
Johnny Depp got 2 serial killers out of prison. He's a psycho devil worshipper apparently.
This was SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER helpful. I have a project in forensics about a psychological analysis of a serial killer and was assigned this case, and it's been hard to find enough information in any one place. Thank you so much for helping me pass my final 👍😭😭
Your school actually accepts youtube videos as legitimate source for this kind of study?
@@Aalborg42what they don't know, won't hurt them! 😉
@@Noodlelino28 Sure.. but every serious "school" requires you to record in your "paper" exactly where you got your information from.. unless it's one of those made up universities from India 🤣
Thanks for the video. There are actually several significant factual errors in it, which is surprising, because it seems like you've done a good bit of research. Some examples: Robert Piest was abducted from the parking lot of the drug store while his mother was inside browsing. He did not call Gacy and then go out of his own house to meet him. Gacy didn't go into the pharmacy and ask to speak to the owner: he already knew the owner and was in the shop to take measurements when he spotted Piest. You say that Piest's body was found and that the police then took testimonies, connected the dots between Gacy and Piest, and went to interview Gacy, but Piest's body was only found in April '79, several months after Gacy was already in prison awaiting trial. His second wife did know about his jail time - she'd known Gacy since they were young and had been a childhood friend of Gacy's sister Karen. The picture you have of Tim McCoy is actually a picture of Russell Nelson, another Gacy victim. You said Gacy would rape and stab the boys, but the only one who was stabbed was his first victim, McCoy. All the others were killed by ligature strangulation. I hope you read these in the spirit in which they are intended, which is not one of squabbling.
Yeah this makes me wonder if the rest of his videos are as nonsensical as this. Thanks for the clarification. His accent makes him sound very studious but apparently not. 😂 probably just goggles a bunch of stuff and puts it together. Shame.
Although your right that this video is wrong about a few things the way the final victim was taken he was actually right. The boy wasn’t abducted and his mom wasn’t browsing the store. She arrived at the pharmacy to pick her son up to celebrate her birthday but he told her to wait that he was going to talk to a contractor about a job. Gacy offered him $5 an hour double what he was making at the pharmacy. Unfortunately he went to gacys house willingly because he thought there was the possibility of getting a dank job. Unfortunately what happened, happened but the boy was not abducted. That is his own mothers account of what happened. I’m sure you can find the info on it online but that is 100% fact of what happened. Although I do agree with you it’s unfortunate how much this video got wrong. He definitely could have done a much better job doing his research before putting this out
I’m also not replying to argue or cause trouble. Just throwing it out there ! I like that you actually knew what you were talking about. So again I don’t mean any I’ll will in my comment so I really hope you don’t take it that way ! And since we are commenting on a video about serial killers stay safe man ! A lot of sick people in this world ! Never know when something may happen so always be aware of your surroundings ! God bless and be safe man ! !
@@johnbowman7483 Hi - It's a good point. Your description is essentially the same as my understanding. I think we're talking semantics concerning the word abduction. Not sure where you are based, but in UK law (and I was only assuming it was the same in the States, which it very well may not be) 'abduction' is simply the unlawful removal of a person from a place: either by coercion, or by force. So I wasn't suggesting Gacy had abducted Piest by force. In fact, this is one of the most tragic and chilling things about this: the boy got into Gacy's car of his own free will on the false prospect of this job offer. This is very much in Gacy's m.o. - he was a con man at many levels. It's just like the handcuff trick and so much else that he did.
As to Mrs Piest browsing: I've seen an interview with Mrs. Piest where she says that after her son came up to her car and asked her to wait, she went into the store to browse. I'm assuming that this was because it was so cold out. (She'd only have driven a short distance from home to pick him up, and heaters in cars back then took ages to warm up the car.)
Thanks for your comment. :)
@@johnbowman7483 Totally appreciate this! :D

Never forget that in 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😄
Lol
Love the a-team reference.
Incredibly succinct *and* well delivered. Thank you for not drawing out the specifics more than necessary. Well done !
Actually, Rob Piest was working at the store John had agreed to renovate. While working one evening, John came into the store and spoke briefly to Rob about a job. Rob said that he was supposed to get off work in a few minutes and could talk to John more after that. John said he would wait in his car which was around back. Rob's mom had come to pick him up that evening. It was her birthday and the family was waiting for Rob to get home to celebrate. Rob had lent a female cashier his jacket to wear because it was cold outside and she was stationed by the front door. After his shift, Rob asked for the jacket back, put it on, and went to tell his mother that he was going to talk to a man around back about a construction job. He said he'd be gone just a few minutes. He never came back. Police went to talk to John at John's house about Rob's disappearance. John let them in. They found a slip of paper that had a number on it that was used by people who would have their photographs printed and needed it to pick them up in John's trash can. The paper also had the name of the store where Rob worked on it. The girl who Rob had lent his jacket to had turned in photographs that she wanted printed and had put the claim slip of paper in the pocket of Rob's jacket. She had forgotten to get it before Rob left. This was proof to the police that John knew who Rob was and that he was involved in his disappearance.
No killer has ever given me the chills more than Gacy. I remember hearing about him when I was a child and I've been creeped out by him ever since.
For me it's Charles Manson. That's probably because I've heard him speak. The again, I've heard interviews with other serial killers that didn't have the same effect.
Myers...in Springfield.......with Vorhees...am I the only person noticing this?
SparrowNugget-No. Both Michael Myers and Jason Vorhees were inspired by John Wayne Gacy’s case.

On the day John Wayne Gacy died, a voice could be heard. "We all float down here," it said.
The answer is quite obvious: HE CAME BACK FOR REVENGE, EVERYBODY!!! GET YOUR GUNS! LOCK THE DOORS! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, SACRIFICE GEORGIE!
I couldn't help it but I laughed at that....please don't judge me!!
I live in Wisconsin one of my co workers said his uncle almost took a job from gacy when he was a teen in Chicago
serg74ful I live in Wisconsin too. And that’s nuts
Live where he lived so a lot of my family knew him by word of mouth the brother of my grandmothers best friend worked for him for a little bit but he was older than his normal victims and was well known in the area so I guess he thought it would be too suspicious to try anything
Oml
khadafi inc right? I can officially say that my parents, grandparents and I all grew up in Chicago and have no ties to Gacy that we know of whatsoever 👍
Yeah well my seventh cousin on my moms side had a friend who had a friend that knew this guy that once said hello to him lmao
Think you got the first kill wrong. The story was he woke up to the boy standing over him with a knife, thought he was going to kill him and killed the boy first. Only to later see he’d just made breakfast and was probably just waking him up and didn’t even realize he had the knife in his hand. Was the only murder he seemed genuinely regretful about. Could be in a way he blamed that mistake on breaking the seal on his murderous ways and thought maybe if that didn’t happen the other murders wouldn’t have either. Doubt it though, something else would have set him off at that point in his life
And the picture of McCoy isn't him. It's Russell Nelson. The only picture of McCoy I could find is black and white and sort of weird.
This is the most common narrative, yes. However it is silly to think we definitely know what happened that night.
I suppose every normal person would have been able to smell the rotting corpses 🤢...
My new favorite channel.... I do feel I need to watch this with tea and scones.
He never dressed as a clown for his crimes . It was just a smoke screen to cement his false social identity
i would agree but what he did in his torture chambers will never be known
@@presence9745 there's literally nothing that suggests this other than people deciding to conflate the two.
According to one near victim who was renting a room in Gacy’s house, he did come in one night to find Gacy in full makeup getting drunk. After sharing a few drinks Gacy attempted to throttle him while still in makeup. He also used “zither rope trick” as his main method of gaining control of his victims, developed from his clown magic act.
He absolutely did....one of the ways he got them in cuffs.
Yeah, he actually did the clown routine as a volunteer. People knew about it and it was actually thought to be a good wholesome thing back then. Nowadays, and probably because of this guy, it’s like a red flag factory.

I am so relieved this lives up to the standards of Mr. Whistler's always awesome videos. I was afraid of click-bait like the vast majority of so called channels. Writer(s) & host, please take a well deserved bow. NOTE: His sister said his middle name was Wayne because of dad NOT the Duke. Doesn't mean it wasn't but she'd know.

I think the content of your RUclips channel is excellent. While I already know a lot about the subject matter of most of your episodes, there's always something new and interesting. Keep up the good work!
I just find it really creepy how someone could live in a house filled with the stench of death and not feel anything about it.
That's how psychosis works. Psychopaths like Gacy don't have the ability to feel remorse for their wrong doings which is what makes them terrifying because if you're unfortunate to get caught by someone like Gacy begging for your life is pointless
@@skaterpulse6746 Dude probably gets high smelling all those corpses in his house. Indeed, he felt no remorse and laughed about it in an interview after he was caught.
This guy was the inspiration for killer clowns in popular culture.
Love the sufjan Stevens reference at the beginning
The light hearted rock in the transitions is a humorous compliment to subject 😂🖤🤘
Unfortunately, this Biographics episode neglects to say that John Wayne Gacy was actually in Waterloo, Iowa when he committed the crime of "Sodomy" and served his prison sentence. Hence, no one in Illinois would have known of that conviction unless his history was thoroughly investigated.
Explains why he was in Anamosa prison.
Not until much later, the cops sent for his rap sheet that they found this
He did admit to killing all those boys to someone, punk rock icon GG Allin. GG and John believed they where kindred spirits. They wrote back and forth , GG even visited him in jail.

@Megaton Rotten MouthI love green day, I was a wee 18-year-old when they first came out in the uk
Common theme here is be nice to your children and support them in what they want to do in their lives.
Gacy never said he was born "out of chaos". Hes smiling because he was asked what state he was born in and he said "i was born in a state of confusion"
Imagine being in the hospital at the time he was Pogo the Clown and he came to visit you and do magic tricks and later when you grew up found out who he really was
Biographics sure is on point with the killer transition music in this one!
Odd that his mothers name was Marion, John Waynes real first name(Marion Mitchell Morrison)

@@Aaron-zk6jn Gacy was soft spoken and almost "charming" to me ....for lack of a better word....and quite convincing due to his soft spoken nature. I never saw him in a rage though... but I only saw him face to face less than a dozen times. His friend and my eventual "friend" David F. Cram was far more scary in person than Gacy was...but I socialized with Dave Cram dozens and dozens of times. Gacy's employee and friend Michael J. Rossi is the one that I knew the second least, and I found him living (hiding) in Rock Tavern NY. I am ruining his world right now and I am not done. The police know what I am doing and there is nothing that they can do, or will do about what I am doing. Rossi is a mass murderer and Tom Dart must know that I am right.... But Tom Dart, now the idiot...dug a hole for himself with his phony Daniel Noe Mountain man story. Dart has the media on his side, just like law breaking James Thompson before him.
Back in THOSE days (1970s), the police didn't treat missing person cases seriously due to so many teenagers "running away" while they dismissed men reporting same-sex rape due to bias against homosexuals.
There were complaints against Gacy to the police, but they were dismissed. People need to bare in mind that back then doing a background check on a suspect meant speeding hours, if not days on a phone calling departments in other states and waiting on them to check their own records and cough up information. That’s valuable time and manpower that a busy department like in Chicago can sparsely offer. Plus the underground swingers scene, including gay swingers, was a lot crazier in those days, so Gacy claiming it was all consensual was easier for the cops to believe.
That opening from the Suf song... Legendary
Love the Sufjan Stevens referance at the beginning. It's a really good song btw
Simon's voice is gorgeous.
I mainly watch the channel because of his soothing voice
Simon doing an impression of the mad clown killer is just awesome!
Love all your vids
Good job on a difficult subject.
✌🏾👍🏾
I commend your work ethic. This video, TIFO Nick Cage, and the Jew Video on Highlight History, all came out within 2 days, have you in the same outfit, with slightly different angles with the same brick background. I feel like a detective figuring out you must film 1 video for each channel at the same time 😆. I applaud how hard you work!
He has a video showing the filming process and how he uploads several a day. It's pretty neato
I have 2 questions
1: when did you start including punk rock in the transitions?
2: what are the songs called?
I'm going to guess it's a song from the group Penmywise
carlo formosa your kinda right
@@tacticalpacciani6147
That would be funny but it doesn't sound like Pennywise. I would also like to know who the band(s) in the video is also.
It could be The Mentally Ill, who did a song called "Gacy's House".
Bump
Opening with Sufjan lyrics means it’s going to be a good video!
My dad grew up down the street from him and he came to the store that my family ran. At the time my dad was the same age as his victims.
"Scientists can't explain why Gacy did what he did!?!?"
Me: He was a sociopathic asshole. 😐
Well part of his Sociopathic behavior was possiblycaused by an Abusive childhood. So there's that
Glad to hear you know more than scientists...
Wow, I've lived in the Chicago area all my life , and I always wondered why he was smiling in the mug shot . Another very interesting podcast ! No matter what the subject, there's always something new to learn .
thank you very much for the informations.
It's like you can hear the crimes and wrong doings of others , and feel a certain disdain , but its only when you learn their past as to why they are the way they are and feel the humanity for everyone.
wow. last time I was this early to a video I had just run over a clown in my truck....a few times... you know, just to make sure.
I hate clowns!
Papa?
That same clown will now murder you when you least expect it.
I'm here in Chicago. A friend of mine was being "groomed" by Gacy. He and another young man worked as laborers on his building contracting jobs. They both would drink with him at his home and sometimes sleep over. After one of these sleep-overs the other fellow disappeared and wasn't around in the morning. Gacy told my friend that the other guy just took off. My friend was from a large family and would have been missed, but the other fellow was essentially an orphan and nobody filed a missing person report. My friend had become suspicious after the disappearance and never worked for Gacy again. Later the remains of the other fellow were found in the infamous "crawl space" underneath the house.
Which victim are you talking about? also rip.
I think the most depressing thing that you learn from researching serial killers isn’t the rape, murder or insanity. It’s the fact that so many of these psychopaths have wives or girlfriends and you’re still single.
I hear you brother
Thanks mate
charisma is the most powerful thing in the world, serial killers and cult leaders get loads of women because they have good social skills
You know, if his father had just let him plant flowers and cook, there's a good chance he never would have turned out the way he did.
It's not even the slightest bit his father's fault
I really loved this video! I’m one of those weirdos that reads serial killer’s Wikipedia pages. This was a really great breakdown, and I legitimately didn’t know they dissected his brain, now I have to go read deeper into it and see if they found anything significant. Thank you Simon! You’re so great 😄
I watch rather then read wiki, but I am a weirdo into serial killers and the top two who killed over 150-200 kids makes me sick
Happibunni Art I agree. I just read the wikis for extra facts, like lesser known ones that may not appear in videos. I love all media types when it comes to this lol.
@@brookielove44 yeh I kinda find it funny when people say the famous ones where bad and I'm like oh lord don't go on wiki and search the worlds worst serial killers with the highest numbers if u think those are bad, the others will make u wreck
Happibunni Art Yeah! Lol, like people don’t talks about Ed Gein that much. I think he’s done one about him too. He did some sick stuff. Like wow.
@@brookielove44 yeh he has, I still hate chikatilo (im dyslexic so I know I've spelt them wrong) Pedro Lopez and Luis garavito like omg these two are horrible
"What we know FOR SURE, though, is that if it were not for all the shame he endured all his life, these killings MAY never happened."
Sooo if they MAY never have happened then you don't know for sure....
EXACTLY. What a stupid statement to end on. It conveys NOTHING.
His statement is just virtue signalling. Gacy is evil. To this day he still thinks he's not as bad as dalmer or Bundy. It doesn't matter if he had been accepted, he would have killed regardless
No one is claiming gacy was not responsible for his own actions, just that his parents are at fault as well.
@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 he was going to kill regardless. His indifference to his crimes and claims of being less evil than Bundy and dalmer show he's truly sick.
@@savagetv6460 you say that so definitively, but given how much of his actions are rooted in his abuse im not inclined to belive that. No one is arguing hes not evil, just that his upbringing was a large part of how he became that way. Explaining his behaviour is not the same as excusing it.
Biographics dissects well. Respect...
One of my dad's friends was pen pals with him, he has an original Gacy hanging up in his living room
