Imagine just starting out your young life, then being murdered. Then you end up nameless under a stone slab in a cemetery. Heart-breaking. The perpetrator's name is common place whilst the victim's remains unknown. A great choice of victim to visit to end your video Scott.
I went to grammar school with John Mowery, one of Gacy's victims. In the pictures, John is 2nd from left on the bottom row. The saddest thing is that his mother lost a daughter to murder just a few years before John. John is the one who discovered his sister's body. How much can one mother take? My husband also used to live two minutes away from Gacy in Norwood Park Township and had a teenage son looking for side jobs at the time Gacy was lurking around for these victims. He felt lucky that his son wasn't a victim. RIP to all of them.
@@OnTheGoWithFlo-Kid22 aw sounds just as his mum described him🥺he deserved so much better along with all these boys who lost their lives to that monster
I grew up in River Grove, IL between 1977 and 1981. I was literally a 7 minute drive from my front door to Gacy's. To this day I'm shocked, angered and disturbed to know how much the police knew...and how little they did to stop him. I recently went to the property where the house once stood as well as the location where Gacy abducted Robert Piest. R.I.P. to all the victims. Rot in hell to Gacy. And thank you, Scott, for being respectful and professional. You're a good man.
Have you read "Chaos" by Tom O'Neill? Blew my mind. Not really, but kind of. I had researched a bit into all Gacy's government ties and "passes" a while ago. Koresh too..... the Manson thing still surprised me some. However, at 46 I am so pissed at how crazy I was treated for so long, believing our politicians and government moved they way we know for sure now..... they were moving. Each story-leads to another and it's absolutely disgusting how much some are allowed and others denied. My hearts shatters into pieces for all those affected, including his innocent family members. It's so sad how far tragedy reaches and ripples. Blessings and 💚 to all of us living a "righteous" life.... which to me simply means.... trying to be a better person today then I was yesterday, don't hurt others, look out for others and keep it moving.
How many years later he is still talked about. Look his accomplices got away with murder etc. David Cram killed himself and then his son did same thing. Mike Rossi murdered and other horrible acts, yet he found someone to marry and have kids. No way could I marry a guy like that knowing the deviet acts he did and then sleep with him. Ewww.
This was our neighborhood in high school. Right under our noses. We still talk about it. Another victim has just been identified. May they all rest in great peace. Enjoy your work Scott.
but thank God that monster is no longer among us killed beautiful boys full of lives who had a bright future ahead of them interrupted by a monster. may everyone rest in peace
I’m here cause of the documentary cause I was nervous about watching when you put this out. He was so cocky and had no remorse. He made me so mad when he said, “I killed 33, y’all killed one, I win.” Such an a**! You make me cry every time with the music. Rest In Peace to all of those babies, they didn’t deserve this. 🙏🏽💔
You are so respectful with the graves and way you portray the victims of all the cases you cover I have so much respect for you. Love ❤️ from West Yorkshire UK ❤️ 🇬🇧
This video is so well done Scotty. Your photography of the locations, the streets, the music and you narrating the story about Gacy was superb. I am so sad for all the kids that were murdered. These sorts of things happen but I still don’t understand why such atrocities are done. So sorry for everyone. Wish them all peace. I like watching crime documentaries, cops etc. but feel sad for all those who have lost their lives because of some crazy people. By the way Scotty I never liked clowns. I know all clowns are not bad but still they worry me. Perhaps because stories like these. Thank you for a job well done. Take care. As always love from all of us.❤️🤗✌🏼💕
This is so heartbreaking. It turns my stomach that these children were so brutally murdered after being tortured by this madman. Rest in Peace now all of you. I pray the day comes when all are identified. Thanks Scott.
In 1994 My Dad and I stayed up until 4:00 A.M.watching Gacys execution.We were both afraid that then Governor Jim Edgar would grant a stay of execution.Luckily,He didn't.Robert Piest is buried at All Saints Cemetery in Des Plaines,Illinois.His Resting Place in the Mausoleum is one of the most visited Gravesites there.Hopefully all of Gacys victims will be identified one day.
Can u imagine the energy of the ground that house stands on 😔. It definitely should of been a memorial to those innocent victims but hey $$$ talks 🤢🤮 . Thank you for the video
It makes me want to cry seeing the unknown Graves and the beautiful music 🎶 in the background. RIP to all these young men. Thank you Scott for being so respectful 🙏❤
I hope they find out who the remaining unknown victims of this fiend are and their families get peace. It's heartbreaking to think their families don't know that their son is dead to them he is just missing.
Gave me the creeps, I moved out of USA and Norridge in late 1979 and was around 18 when this went down. Craziest thing is I knew who JWG was exactly and had met him in several occasions earlier. This case was the last I remembered from the US and it haunted me all my life. Just by seeing this video I can remember the times, the smells, the sounds. I didnt recognize the Greyhound spot and how its developed today. Crazy how the world changes. The bridge looks similar like in the 70s though and so do a lot of the houses in Norridge.
Thank you Scott for the dignity you give to those that remain named or nameless in so many of these cases. The humility in how you deliver each piece is truly appreciated. Wonderful work especially on so many of these topics that are very heavy in nature.
What more can i say than.......you and your Videos are just perfect!!!! Everything from the first to the last minute. Your respectful acting,your calm and distant kind of speaking to us,the relaxing music,and most of all the tons of facts that you are carrying together and the countless kilometers that you drive for us!!!!! Thank you so much for making my coming down from work so easy. Best wishes from Austria.
May every one of those young poor victims rest in peace, heartbreaking to think that 6 are unidentified,broke my heart when you swept the grass off that headstone 😢💔 thank you for this Scott. ❤️
If you want to watch “the best” Gacy movie ever, watch “ To catch a killer”, from 1992. That mini series that was on tv is truly the best. That acting was amazing. The late Brian Dennehy was amazing as Gacy. He also played Sheriff Will Teasle in the most amazing movie ever “First Blood”, with Sylvester Stallone, as John J. Rambo.
I was lucky enough to have met Brian Dennehy once when he lived here in Ireland. One hell of a big guy and a power house of an actor. He is very missed in Ireland and on the screen. RIP Brian 🇮🇪
Scott, I notice you observe a custom traditional to Jews, of placing a stone on a headstone. I was touched by your doing so at this poor fellow's resting place. You are so respectful of both the living and the deceased. I appreciate that. You never act ghoulish, but simply express natural curiosity. Thank you for what you do.
So sad about the poor souls were never identified. Thank you for choosing them to place the stones. No flowers or anyone to visit, so sad. You have such a loving soul Scott. Thank you for what you do to bring attention to grave sites unknown and the known. No one should be forgotten.
Hi Scott!! You did a great job covering this story!!! 👍 I was born and still live here in the suburbs of Chicago Illinois and up to this day my parents and many of my neighbors still talk about this individual !!
I lived on Berwyn 1 block away I’ll never forget it. When the house was demolished and empty land stood for years. We used to ride our bikes to White Hen and passed it almost everyday. I always thought I would see something one day. Never did but it was very terrifying. When he was finally put to death I remember news vans everywhere. The number on the house is different but you know which house it is, it’s very obvious. I think the house has been sold 3x since.
Gacy , Dahmer, Bundy , BTK and Green River were the notorious 5 who did their evil work around the same time. No 911, carried themselves properly in public and hid their evil from those that truly did love them. Gacy was full of himself and liked the attention and loved to talk about himself. Prayers to the souls lost and the lives that weren’t allowed to flourish under these demons. Awesome video and much respect Scott!
I have watched many videos about JWG, and you have done such a wonderful job with this one. You truly did your research, especially showing us locations that are not in other videos (like the river and what the drug store looks like now). I also loved how you ended the video, honoring the victims who have not been identified. You would think after all these years they would look into searching for bodies again at that apartment building....so sad there is a good chance that there are loved ones buried in that ground.
In 1978 I was between 18 turning 19 years old. I was living in Ohio where I was born and raised and I was going to travel until I heard that on the news. I didn't start traveling until 1979 when I was 19 years old and I had to travel right through that area to get to California. You are the only one that gave full detail thank you
I've become a huge fan of your work. Your compassion, your approach, and your sincerity are highly respectable. Kudos on a job well done, and I look forward to seeing all of your future videos.
Gacy realized he was being followed and in an act of bravado, invited police in to his house. It was during this time or another that he openly smoked pot in front of the police. At the time this was illegal. Gacy was displaying his arrogance or mental state. Also a cop asked to use the bathroom and while in there, the furnace kicked on and air from below flowed out a vent next to the toilet so the cop knew immediately it was the smell of death. I think Gacy, like other killers, blamed the smell on sewer problems.
Very respectful video Scott! Mad props for clearing off the grave stone, that made my heart hurt. Mad respect RIP to all the lives lost . Another well done video!
Never clicked so fasttt. Always bring the best videos Scott thank you for always entertaining us with these great videos, much love from liverpool England 👏🏼😊👌🏼
You got a good heart Scott. Very respectful narration of such a horrible monster's crimes. I had tears in my eyes the way you lovingly cleaned the headstone of that dear person. So well done mate, you're a very good man. 💖
I lived in a nearby suburb at the time and I remember this as if it occurred yesterday. The pictures now look long ago and the trees have grown and people have moved and neighbors have passed on. This created a very chilling effect on the Chicagoland area that lasts to this day nearly forty-five to fifty years later. It’s all so very sad and wish they had made a memorial on that site. I wouldn’t want to open my shades if I lived in the next door neighbor houses given the proximity. Rest their souls. Your music was beautiful.
Wow. So heartbreaking! I barely watched another of my favorite youtubers just the other day, and she talked about John Wayne Gacy too; but she does the crime part...most of the gory details and parts of the trial. Lo and behold, you upload the other half of the story...which is the victim's memorials. I feel like between the two of you, the story came full circle for me. The way you are so respectful of their memories and are very careful how you present details pertaining to the case is very commendable. I highly enjoy watching you, Scott. I only follow about 8 youtubers...and you are definitely one of them!
Gacy was one creepy monster 👹 I’ve always hated clowns to begin with and the fact that he dressed up as one is a thing of nightmares. Enjoyed watching. Thanks Scott 👏perfect for this month 🎃
Wonderful presentation and story. Scott, you've come a long way in the time I've been following you. Keep up the good work mate. Oh, if you still ever wanna do the Jonestown thing just let me know.
Many of these kids were much younger than I thought. I never seen all those pictures of them before. This is horrifying and heartbreaking. I hope the last six are identified. So many people have been missing for decades I makes me think alot of Gacys are still active
Yet another wonderful video , Scott. Living in Chicago at the time, that memory of those horrors are pretty fresh in my mind. Such a well compiled video. Thank you!
I live 20 minutes from the I-55 bridge, and every time I cross it, I think about this case and the last victim he pushed over this bridge. It's incredibly heavy to think about.
My heart hurts for the victims and their families - Rest in peace. There is a special place in hell for people like Gacy, no peace/rest for him i hope. Scott - I love the style of this video, it feels a little different to your others. Superb. I am not technically minded so not sure how to describe it, sorry.
Thank you Lisa…I think it’s different as well in regard to the filming technique I used and the way I approached the story. I wanted to tell the story first, and then at each location say as little as possible and just let the camera linger. Sometimes words aren’t needed I feel. The first thing I filmed for this video was the bridge and I have footage of me talking away under it etc but whilst filming I found the structure was telling the story just by it’s size and well, the look of it. That’s the moment I decided I wanted to go in a different direction. Thank you for noticing AND of course watching
I used to work for the Court Stenographer’s and one day I was organizing boxes of old transcripts going on appeal, and I came across his court transcripts...my arm hairs stood up.
scott ~ the thoughtful way you do these videos is amazing. Thank you for being so respectful and not trying to "sensationalize". I hope they can identify all the victims one day.
As usual Scott another awesome video! I have seen other videos on this monster but you always go more in depth!! May the victims rest in eternal Pease and their families many Prayers to them!!
Amazingly well done video, Scott! I hope you have good self care habits. Eat well. Rest. Meditation. Exercise. Distractions. You really moved me. I rarely cry.
Evil. I remember when the trial was going on, i was like 13. People just couldn't believe that this guy did what he did and then buried the bodies under his house. I mean these were kids. It was hard to even believe that such evil existed. Great job on the video and locations Scott.
Really enjoy all your videos thankyou for taking so much time putting them together. some really terrible crimes.but you tell them with so much respect to ALL the victims. keep up the good work I watch you everyday x
Dude you're near where I live. Well just north. I remember being 16 and driving by Statesville when he was being executed without realizing it until I heard the news. I've also been by where the house used to be. Yes, I'm a little morbid....lol.
@@SCOTTONTAPE if you're still in area, go to Hillside to Mount Carmel Cemetery. It's where Al Capone is buried (and a lot of Chicago mobsters). Been there many times too
Am shakirah from Uganda working in Dubai, but Scott I started following you long way back and am happy that our channel is growing up..keep it up sweetie we love you.
I recognised the name, but didn’t know anything about John Wayne Gacy. Thanks for the vlog Scott, you’re always expanding my knowledge. I hope all his victims have found peace. 💜
I was in high school when this happened. I was friends w/a girl who's father was a Des Plaines detective so he had binders full of the crime scene photos from this tragedy. Believe it or not her house was also the party house, so we'd go over there to party & flip through the crime scene photos before any of them had been released to the public.
I remember when all this was happening. thanks for sharing this Scott, you have a good heart, knowing you IRL instead of just on youtube would be a real honor to me!
I lived a few blocks away from this monster near Ohare airport and remembered being a kid and seeing him drive up to us kids back than playing asking us if we wanted to make some money. Luckily for us we stayed the heck away and said no
Hello Scott 🙋🏽. This was one scary dude ‼️ AND HE'S THE REASON WHY I'M AFRAID OF CLOWN'S UNTIL THIS DAY‼️AND I'MA GROWN WOMAN ♀️👠. THANKS SCOTT FOR WHAT YOU DO ‼️ HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND ‼️❤️
He was one of the scariest and worst next to Dahmer. I've never seen the physical locations in the present era. I knew the Gacy house was torn down but it looks like a new one was rebuilt? Who would want to even live on the lot and oddly there's a backhoe in the driveway. In the Dahmer case they tore down the Apt building and fenced the area off. Not here I guess.
Hey, I like your videos and I think your work is great and for me personally you are one of the most likable people on TH-cam. keep it up. Nice greetings from Germany.
I use to be in the principle's office of John Palmer Elementary on Kenneth btw Lawrence Ave and Foster Ave all the time. There was another kid named John S. who was there all the time too. Years later when Gacy was caught there was a knock on John S.'s door. Two detectives were at the door. They showed him a photo of him passed out on a bed with nothing on but his boots. He had gone with Gacy for drugs or a job offer. He was knocked out, woke up on the bed, grabbed his clothes, jumped out the window and ran for his life. He told no one. When he admitted that was a photo of him the detectives said, "Congratulations. You're most likely the only one to make it out alive." The story made the Chicago Sun Times Newspaper.
DJ Steve Dahl did a lampoon song of Another Brick in the Wall called Another Kid in the Crawl. The parents of Gacy's victims won an injunction to prevent the song from being played on Chicago radio.
Also in my neighborhood near Elston and Pulaski was a bar called the Good Luck Lounge. He use to "interview" young men there for "jobs." It had to close down when people in the area started calling it the Gacy Luck Lounge. No one wanted to drink there anymore. It was a more simple time and maybe serial killers were less romanticized then. Chicago mobsters, another matter.
Let me just start by saying that this was incredible!! I asked you about this story and you brought it!! I leave in the Norwood neighborhood and let me just say it would off been “great to meet you”.. I literally live 3 minutes from were you were, on elston and Miami st.. I also did some research on John gacy.. I even drove to his house on Norwood.. but what I didn’t know was that on elston Miami st, he had more body’s.. elston street is were I drive the most through and now I won’t see the street the same again.. it will always remind me of you and this video.. in this video you had more off gacy then any other TH-camr.. loves it!! Great gob!! ♥️♥️
I’m from Chicago and I remember when they were tearing his house down. My friends and I would drive by it. That was a thing back then. Also, I didn’t know John and his mother lived in my neighborhood
What are the odds? I just finished watching "To catch a killer" (one of my favourite movies ever) for the like thousand times and shortly after that you upload this.
Wow, this one ...feels so dark. And, even if the new house built on top of Gacy's buriel ground ( house) was free! , No way would I live there. Prayers 🙏for all victims families, and for the people living there .
Imagine just starting out your young life, then being murdered. Then you end up nameless under a stone slab in a cemetery. Heart-breaking. The perpetrator's name is common place whilst the victim's remains unknown. A great choice of victim to visit to end your video Scott.
Exactly it’s truly tragic and if they are identified they can’t even change the graves it’s just forever there with we remember:(
why cant they change the graves ? Thats ridiculous, just change the tomb stones LOL @@meganwilliams7434
This is just one of the reasons I hate people collecting his artwork. He shouldn’t be famous like that.
I went to grammar school with John Mowery, one of Gacy's victims. In the pictures, John is 2nd from left on the bottom row. The saddest thing is that his mother lost a daughter to murder just a few years before John. John is the one who discovered his sister's body. How much can one mother take? My husband also used to live two minutes away from Gacy in Norwood Park Township and had a teenage son looking for side jobs at the time Gacy was lurking around for these victims. He felt lucky that his son wasn't a victim. RIP to all of them.
What was he like? If you knew
@@meganwilliams7434 He was a really nice boy and very quiet. He never bothered girls like some boys did. Very polite and kept to himself really.
@@OnTheGoWithFlo-Kid22 aw sounds just as his mum described him🥺he deserved so much better along with all these boys who lost their lives to that monster
@@meganwilliams7434 Agree!
Wow
Beautiful tribute to the victims. Well done, Scott.

All about politics. To think they're even more corrupt now!
@@grnpeepers2683 absolutely......
same I lived in Mount Prospect IL I was a kid too thankfully I was lived in the 90s when they caught him cause otherwise it could of been worse
How many years later he is still talked about. Look his accomplices got away with murder etc. David Cram killed himself and then his son did same thing. Mike Rossi murdered and other horrible acts, yet he found someone to marry and have kids. No way could I marry a guy like that knowing the deviet acts he did and then sleep with him. Ewww.
In 2021, the body of Francis Wayne Alexander was identified as one of Gacy's victims. He was from North Carolina originally.
This was our neighborhood in high school. Right under our noses. We still talk about it. Another victim has just been identified. May they all rest in great peace. Enjoy your work Scott.
That must be awful to think he was so close by your family. Haunting horror!
but thank God that monster is no longer among us killed beautiful boys full of lives who had a bright future ahead of them interrupted by a monster. may everyone rest in peace
Oh dear :(
What’s the name of the songs in this video? Shazam doesn’t know.
My dad said Gacy used to have the local guys from the neighborhood over for beers and jack off contests
Rip to those who lost their lives. Hope they find peace.
I’m here cause of the documentary cause I was nervous about watching when you put this out. He was so cocky and had no remorse.

It's a nightmare that was so real. It as broke my heart in to pieces. 😢
Not to mention the people who bought his paintings. 🤔
Thank you Scott for remembering these precious boys. 🌟😢
No eran niños la mayoría ya eran hombres y los demás adolescentes ok ubícate
Just read that 1 of the 6 unknown victims has just been identified,may he rest in peace ❤️❤️
I was there when they took the body’s out of his home.Very Dark Sad Night.
Will Never Forget it.
Oh wow that’s crazy

I don't think another house should of been built on that soil, instead a memorial instead.
I couldn't live in that new house and agree about the memorial.
Agreed.
Can u imagine the energy of the ground that house stands on 😔. It definitely should of been a memorial to those innocent victims but hey $$$ talks 🤢🤮 . Thank you for the video
Whoever lives there now is a stone cold gangster.
I agree. The property was literally a cemetery and should have been treated as such. A shame it was to have built something on the property
It makes me want to cry seeing the unknown Graves and the beautiful music 🎶 in the background. RIP to all these young men. Thank you Scott for being so respectful 🙏❤
You are so respectful to the victims, thank you for your empathy ❤RIP to the 33 souls.

Hi Scott!! You did a great job covering this story!!! 👍 I was born and still live here in the suburbs of Chicago Illinois and up to this day my parents and many of my neighbors still talk about this individual !!
Scott you’re the man!!! Keep doing your thing!!! Been a fan for awhile
Such respect to the victims and their families are rarely seen. Peace to them all and also peace to you Scott

His house in iowa is pretty creepy as well, especially when most don't know he lived here... great video as usual 👊
He had a house in Springfield Illinois also
@Tiger rivers yes its still there

hey i/m a new watcher bing watched past few nights this made me ugly cry for the unidentified boys so sad may God bless their soules
Thank you for watching Teresa ❤️
I worked with John Wayne Gacy’s nephew back in the 80s he gave me one off his Uncle’s paintings which I burned and others I worked with as well
Gacy realized he was being followed and in an act of bravado, invited police in to his house. It was during this time or another that he openly smoked pot in front of the police. At the time this was illegal. Gacy was displaying his arrogance or mental state. Also a cop asked to use the bathroom and while in there, the furnace kicked on and air from below flowed out a vent next to the toilet so the cop knew immediately it was the smell of death. I think Gacy, like other killers, blamed the smell on sewer problems.
You should see the Movie "Gacy" that came out in 2003.
I like it
Thanks
I saw the movie and it's really horrific what he did and pretty graphic. Just a warning.
I love all your videos from Tasmania Australia
Hi Mate another Aussie here Hope is everything is going ok down in Tassie 🥰
@@iraynalee3570 Yes good
I sobbed when you placed the stone on the grave.
Such a sad case.
Thank you for such a touching and respectful video.x
Very respectful video Scott!
Mad props for clearing off the grave stone, that made my heart hurt.
Mad respect
RIP to all the lives lost .
Another well done video!
I like how the sidewalks are along the street. Less edging and looks cleaner.
Thanks
Never clicked so fasttt. Always bring the best videos Scott thank you for always entertaining us with these great videos, much love from liverpool England 👏🏼😊👌🏼
Ps I love your compassion for the lives lost in your videos. Not for the killer but those that were taken. So sad
You got a good heart Scott. Very respectful narration of such a horrible monster's crimes. I had tears in my eyes the way you lovingly cleaned the headstone of that dear person. So well done mate, you're a very good man. 💖
Another great one Scott!.. " to catch a killer" is a great movie about gacy...Brian Denahy plays gacy...Denahy nails it!!!✌
Apparently, he didn't want to do it.
I lived in a nearby suburb at the time and I remember this as if it occurred yesterday. The pictures now look long ago and the trees have grown and people have moved and neighbors have passed on. This created a very chilling effect on the Chicagoland area that lasts to this day nearly forty-five to fifty years later. It’s all so very sad and wish they had made a memorial on that site. I wouldn’t want to open my shades if I lived in the next door neighbor houses given the proximity. Rest their souls. Your music was beautiful.
Scott I really enjoy all of your videos. Especially how much respect you have and show for the victims.
Wow. So heartbreaking! I barely watched another of my favorite youtubers just the other day, and she talked about John Wayne Gacy too; but she does the crime part...most of the gory details and parts of the trial. Lo and behold, you upload the other half of the story...which is the victim's memorials. I feel like between the two of you, the story came full circle for me. The way you are so respectful of their memories and are very careful how you present details pertaining to the case is very commendable. I highly enjoy watching you, Scott. I only follow about 8 youtubers...and you are definitely one of them!
Gacy was one creepy monster 👹 I’ve always hated clowns to begin with and the fact that he dressed up as one is a thing of nightmares. Enjoyed watching. Thanks Scott 👏perfect for this month 🎃
Wonderful presentation and story. Scott, you've come a long way in the time I've been following you. Keep up the good work mate. Oh, if you still ever wanna do the Jonestown thing just let me know.
I would love for him to cover Jonestown. However, I believe there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
As always such care and compassion for the victims in your videos. Incredible job Scott! 😉
Bless you, Scott. And bless your respect for the deceased. We love you and what you are doing ❤
Many of these kids were much younger than I thought. I never seen all those pictures of them before. This is horrifying and heartbreaking. I hope the last six are identified. So many people have been missing for decades I makes me think alot of Gacys are still active
Yeah, they were kids and very young, barely adults.
Yet another wonderful video , Scott. Living in Chicago at the time, that memory of those horrors are pretty fresh in my mind. Such a well compiled video. Thank you!
The terror and fear those boys went through is unimaginable.
Ne isso
La mayoría ya eran hombres y varias victimas eran chicos rebeldes , vagabundos y prostitutos ok ubícate
@@fabrisultanofstfu that doesn’t excuse what he did sicko
Hello again! I watched this one before but I think, it's been awhile, so, I'm watching again...Thanks!
I love this channel!! I even visited the oj Simpson house, Nicole’s house and Nicole’s grave site because of this channel 👍🏻
I live 20 minutes from the I-55 bridge, and every time I cross it, I think about this case and the last victim he pushed over this bridge. It's incredibly heavy to think about.
Thank you for this very moving and very respectul video . Hello from France.
My heart hurts for the victims and their families - Rest in peace. There is a special place in hell for people like Gacy, no peace/rest for him i hope.
Scott - I love the style of this video, it feels a little different to your others. Superb. I am not technically minded so not sure how to describe it, sorry.
Thank you Lisa…I think it’s different as well in regard to the filming technique I used and the way I approached the story. I wanted to tell the story first, and then at each location say as little as possible and just let the camera linger. Sometimes words aren’t needed I feel. The first thing I filmed for this video was the bridge and I have footage of me talking away under it etc but whilst filming I found the structure was telling the story just by it’s size and well, the look of it. That’s the moment I decided I wanted to go in a different direction. Thank you for noticing AND of course watching
I used to work for the Court Stenographer’s and one day I was organizing boxes of old transcripts going on appeal, and I came across his court transcripts...my arm hairs stood up.
Did you read them
Scott, that song got me. It makes me cry for the lost young men. Haunting
This was perfectly done Scott x one of my fave videos of yours - the music made it so much more emotional x hope u r well!
scott ~ the thoughtful way you do these videos is amazing. Thank you for being so respectful and not trying to "sensationalize". I hope they can identify all the victims one day.
Thank you so much !
As usual Scott another awesome video! I have seen other videos on this monster but you always go more in depth!! May the victims rest in eternal Pease and their families many Prayers to them!!
Amazingly well done video, Scott! I hope you have good self care habits. Eat well. Rest. Meditation. Exercise. Distractions. You really moved me. I rarely cry.
Thank you so much Amelia
Evil. I remember when the trial was going on, i was like 13. People just couldn't believe that this guy did what he did and then buried the bodies under his house. I mean these were kids. It was hard to even believe that such evil existed.
Great job on the video and locations Scott.
Really enjoy all your videos thankyou for taking so much time putting them together. some really terrible crimes.but you tell them with so much respect to ALL the victims. keep up the good work I watch you everyday x
Beautiful and heartbreaking video Scott. Thank you for bringing light to the unidentified victims. May all the victims be at peace
Dude you're near where I live. Well just north. I remember being 16 and driving by Statesville when he was being executed without realizing it until I heard the news. I've also been by where the house used to be. Yes, I'm a little morbid....lol.
Nothing wrong with being a LITTLE morbid Kandice 😉
@@SCOTTONTAPE if you're still in area, go to Hillside to Mount Carmel Cemetery. It's where Al Capone is buried (and a lot of Chicago mobsters). Been there many times too
Am shakirah from Uganda working in Dubai, but Scott I started following you long way back and am happy that our channel is growing up..keep it up sweetie we love you.
I recognised the name, but didn’t know anything about John Wayne Gacy. Thanks for the vlog Scott, you’re always expanding my knowledge. I hope all his victims have found peace. 💜
This is off topic but just had to comment how stinkn cute ur little furbaby profile pic is 😊🤩🐾
I was in high school when this happened. I was friends w/a girl who's father was a Des Plaines detective so he had binders full of the crime scene photos from this tragedy. Believe it or not her house was also the party house, so we'd go over there to party & flip through the crime scene photos before any of them had been released to the public.
SCOTT, BEST VIDEO OF YOURS, EVER!!!!!!!!CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
SCOTT these vudeos are EPIC...all your information is uniform and corrrect...fascinating
I remember when all this was happening. thanks for sharing this Scott, you have a good heart, knowing you IRL instead of just on youtube would be a real honor to me!
I lived a few blocks away from this monster near Ohare airport and remembered being a kid and seeing him drive up to us kids back than playing asking us if we wanted to make some money. Luckily for us we stayed the heck away and said no
Scott you really are a remarkable and thoughtful person. I appreciate you visiting the victims for all of us who can't, thank you
Scott, as terrific and sad as a story is you have brought beauty and peace to each of them. You did a great job, thank you!
Hello Scott 🙋🏽. This was one scary dude ‼️ AND HE'S THE REASON WHY I'M AFRAID OF CLOWN'S UNTIL THIS DAY‼️AND I'MA GROWN WOMAN ♀️👠. THANKS SCOTT FOR WHAT YOU DO ‼️ HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND ‼️❤️
Can never look at clowns again good volge though
Ikr clowns aren't funny to me their scary!!!!
@@taraerskine3954 LOL
Another great video Scott you have a way in making videos that grabs your attention and is very respectful .
This video is right up my alley!! As you know, Scott!! Keep cranking them out!! ☺️🙏
He was one of the scariest and worst next to Dahmer. I've never seen the physical locations in the present era. I knew the Gacy house was torn down but it looks like a new one was rebuilt? Who would want to even live on the lot and oddly there's a backhoe in the driveway. In the Dahmer case they tore down the Apt building and fenced the area off. Not here I guess.
Hey, I like your videos and I think your work is great and for me personally you are one of the most likable people on TH-cam. keep it up. Nice greetings from Germany.
Thank you so much Ferdinand!
Scott, you're absolutely amazing!! Love all your videos. 🖤❤🖤
I use to be in the principle's office of John Palmer Elementary on Kenneth btw Lawrence Ave and Foster Ave all the time. There was another kid named John S. who was there all the time too. Years later when Gacy was caught there was a knock on John S.'s door. Two detectives were at the door. They showed him a photo of him passed out on a bed with nothing on but his boots. He had gone with Gacy for drugs or a job offer. He was knocked out, woke up on the bed, grabbed his clothes, jumped out the window and ran for his life. He told no one. When he admitted that was a photo of him the detectives said, "Congratulations. You're most likely the only one to make it out alive." The story made the Chicago Sun Times Newspaper.
DJ Steve Dahl did a lampoon song of Another Brick in the Wall called Another Kid in the Crawl. The parents of Gacy's victims won an injunction to prevent the song from being played on Chicago radio.
Also in my neighborhood near Elston and Pulaski was a bar called the Good Luck Lounge. He use to "interview" young men there for "jobs." It had to close down when people in the area started calling it the Gacy Luck Lounge. No one wanted to drink there anymore. It was a more simple time and maybe serial killers were less romanticized then. Chicago mobsters, another matter.
Let me just start by saying that this was incredible!! I asked you about this story and you brought it!! I leave in the Norwood neighborhood and let me just say it would off been “great to meet you”.. I literally live 3 minutes from were you were, on elston and Miami st.. I also did some research on John gacy.. I even drove to his house on Norwood.. but what I didn’t know was that on elston Miami st, he had more body’s.. elston street is were I drive the most through and now I won’t see the street the same again.. it will always remind me of you and this video.. in this video you had more off gacy then any other TH-camr.. loves it!! Great gob!! ♥️♥️
Thank you so much Tania I would have loved to have met you and said hi as well!
I’m from Chicago and I remember when they were tearing his house down. My friends and I would drive by it. That was a thing back then.
Also, I didn’t know John and his mother lived in my neighborhood
That was good video scott feel bad for all the victims that was nice u clean off his tombstone ur a good person scott
This has been on my watch list since it dropped. Been way too busy to watch it. The time has come. :)
Love the videos Scott.... You replaced "Adam the Who!" in my house. I mean the 'Woo" lol Keep up the good work brother.......
What are the odds? I just finished watching "To catch a killer" (one of my favourite movies ever) for the like thousand times and shortly after that you upload this.
Wow, this one ...feels so dark. And, even if the new house built on top of Gacy's buriel ground ( house) was free! , No way would I live there. Prayers 🙏for all victims families, and for the people living there .
Thank You for remembering the victims.❤
