'''John Wayne Gacy Jr.''' (March 17<sup>th</sup>, 1942 – May 10<sup>th</sup>, 1994) was an American serial killer and rapist who sexually assaulted and [[murder]]ed at least 33 teenage boys and young men between 1972 and 1978. Gacy buried 26 of his victims in the crawlspace of his home, buried three others elsewhere on his property, and discarded the remains of his last four known victims in a nearby river. He was convicted of 33 murders and sentenced to death for 12 of these killings in March 1980. He was executed on May 10<sup>th</sup>, 1994 by lethal injection.

Gacy later became known as the "Killer Clown" due to his charitable services at fundraising events, parades and children's parties where he would dress as "Pogo the Clown", a character he devised himself.
