John Wayne Gacy, Jr. (March 17^th, 1942 – May 10^th, 1994) was an American serial killer and rapist who sexually assaulted and murdered 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^th, 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. John Wayne Gacy was an American serial-killer who also went under the nickname of the Killer Clown due to his charity work as a clown between his murder sprees, active from 1972 until 1978 he raped and murdered over 33 teenage boys and young men (six of them remain unidentified).

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.

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.

On May 10^th, 1994; Gacy was executed for his crimes and his execution was a major event with protesters from both sides of the argument attending, some displeased with the death-penalty and others gathering to taunt the serial-killer. He never expressed remorse, and his last words were: "Kiss my ass! You'll never find the rest!".

After his death, Gacy's brain was removed and given to Dr. Helen Morrison, who was researching psychopaths. No abnormalities were found in his brain.
