Gacy was born into a blue-collar family and seems to have had a fairly ordinary childhood. But he exhibited a growing tendency toward sadism, which resulted in several encounters with the law in the 1960s. In 1968, after his conviction for sexually assaulting a teenage boy, he was confined in the Iowa State Men’s Reformatory (Anamosa State Penitentiary) and forced to undergo psychological evaluation. After his release in 1970 and while still on parole, he was again arrested for sexual assault, but the charges were later dropped. Gacy then became a fairly successful independent contractor and bought a house in suburban Chicago. | |||

The tortures that Gacy infringed on his captives included drowning them repeatedly in his bathtub, throwing burning poker cards on their torsos, as well as spilling hot wax on them. As part of the dominion he could exert on his victims, Gacy allowed himself the luxury of urinating on them. | The tortures that Gacy infringed on his captives included drowning them repeatedly in his bathtub, throwing burning poker cards on their torsos, as well as spilling hot wax on them.

In 1978, after one of Gacy’s victims, Robert Piest, was reported missing, police learned that Gacy was the last person known to have seen him. After obtaining a search warrant, police discovered the bodies of 29 boys and young men in or near Gacy’s house; four other bodies were found in the nearby Des Plaines River. Indeed, the area of the house had emitted a foul stench for years, but Gacy had told his houseguests and his wife that the smell was the result of moisture buildup. | In 1978, after one of Gacy’s victims, Robert Piest, was reported missing, police learned that Gacy was the last person known to have seen him.

In the hours leading up to Gacy's execution, a crowd estimated at more than 1,000 gathered outside the correctional center; most of whom were fervently in favor of execution, although several protesters against the death penalty were also present. Some of the supporters of the execution wore t-shirts that alluded to the previous community services of Gacy as a clown and that carried satirical slogans such as "There are no tears for the clown." Protesters against the death penalty present watched a silent candlelight vigil. | |||
