I was hitchhiking through Chicago in June of '75 when I got a ride from a robust fellow driving a pickup with a toolbox in the back and a sticker on the bumper that said "support your local clown". I immediately had a bad feeling and declined, vigorously, his offer to go home with him to have a beer. I have taken thousands of rides from perfect strangers over the years and can only remember 3 or 4 individuals, but that guy I remember. Maybe ten years later I read a book about GWG and as I went through it I began to make connections with the Chicago ride. I turned to the section of the paperback in the center with the black and white pictures. I immediately recognized Gacy and his pickup. I am grateful to my mom for having taught me to listen to my gut instincts. This is one reason I am fascinated by your analyses of these characters.

@elinelinka 3 роки тому
there is no such thing as one characteristic of people that bully...but if you have to categorize then its actually very simple, just because of the fact that it is a very normal human(animal) behavior....most people can be made into bullying because we are flock animals...and instinctively we fell like we can't survive without the approval of others...and the majority of humans are not able to think for themselves...this also makes us innately insecure...and therefore in order to fit in and make us feel better about ourselves we like to put others down...and because everything is relative...(proven fact!) putting others below us, automatically makes us better...just nature...its not complicated....!!!!

Thanks Dr. Grande for such a extensive analysis of the Killer Clown. I am struck by how many young men were killed and how little investigation went on concerning Mr. Gacy even though he had those tendencies all along. And i wonder why the families of the victims didn't insist on deeper investigations. I wonder if the homophobia at the time wrote the victims off because they considered killing homosexuals as a "lesser" crime and therefore not top priority?

I wasn’t alive at the time, but I remember when he was put to death.

Childhood trauma does so much damage even to serial killers. How do you think these individuals would have been different if at all growing up in a healthier environment? Something causes people to snap & wonder in general if head trauma/injury really could play a role.

@drjohnson98 2 роки тому
Dr. Grande's theories are always interesting. I grew up in Chicago and remember the frenzied media speculation once victims of an unknown killer began appearing in the Des Plaines River. Then when Gacy was caught and all those bodies were found in his crawlspace it was both horrifying and a relief that the killer had finally been captured. As more details of the case have come out, it became clear that many opportunities to catch Gacy sooner were missed because of unreported suspicions or knowledge of attacks and simple failure by law enforcement to follow-up or connect dots. Sadly, because of some remarks by one near-victim who survived an assault and some dates of murders that don't line up with Gacy's whereabouts there is a plausible theory that Gacy had at least one unnamed accomplice.
