Conversations With a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes tells us the tale of one of the most chilling incidents of the history in humankind.

John Wayne Gacy Brandished Being “judge, jury, and executioner” of His 33 Victims and Himself: “clowns can get away with murder”

The man who became known as the Killer Clown tells his own story with chilling
truthfulness in never-before-heard recordings from his death-row prison cell.
Netflix’s newest Conversations With a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes takes
place almost 30 years after his execution for brutally murdering 33 young men
and boys during his six-year killing spree.

The recordings are creepy, and Gacy boasts to his attorneys about “outsmarting”
the authorities. He also disclosed that his victims were “not human beings,” and
confessed that murdering a young guy gave him “a mind-numbing orgasm.” Here is a
brief history of the most notorious killers of all time.

It was mysterious how an everyday man could turn out to be the most horrific
killer in history. However, John Wayne Gacy was just that.

Society was taken aback when they found that he buried 29 dead in the crawl
space of his calm Chicago suburban house. Five others were dumped in a nearby
river when he ran out of room beneath his home.

His legal defense team examined Gary in over 60 hours of recorded testimony
while awaiting trial for murder. In one such interview with his defense team,
John commented, “Clowns can get away with anything. Clowns can get away with
murder.”

SO, HOW DID JOHN END UP BEING A MURDER?

The answer lies in his childhood. He had a difficult upbringing as the victim of
a physically and emotionally violent alcoholic parent.

Gacy was routinely beaten and mocked as a “sissy” who would “probably grow up
queer.”

“He liked his mother’s softness and genteel attitude compared to the father,”
clinical psychologist Richard Rappaport told Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/]. Richard was the main psychiatrist
for Gacy’s defense.
