The original house was demolished due to the extensive damage from recovering the bodies in the crawl space. They actually had the local fire department cut the floor out of the house to make it feasible to recover I believe the 26-27 bodies located down there. Also the one body under cement in his shed, He then ran out of room and threw his final 5 bodies off the I55 bridge into the des planes river. He actually had his own youth workers dig in the crawl space making Graves although he claimed he was installing "drain tile". He tried covering the smell up with lime and eventually had plans to pour cement in the crawl space. what's really great information was that the crawl space had several inches of water so while unburying the bodies, once the oxygen reached them they would immediately start to bloat and they would have to cut the abdomen to release the built up gases. Crazy one that Gacy.
Wow! Thanks for the great information! We hadn’t heard about the bodies bloating once the oxygen hit them. That’s crazy! Also didn’t realize he had his youth workers dig the grave areas out for him! What a creep!
So gacy not work alone ? I think that either...I mean how gacy can fit to go to the crawl space ..I mean He's Fat He's not fit to trap door .Any explaination ?
@@garborealdeal I think that Gacy did do this alone. I think him trying to make it sound like other people were involved, and then stalling talking about “the other people,” was a tactic Gacy tried to use to prolong his life. I don’t think this is the kind of crime you do with other people usually, also he never really gave up the other people supposedly involved.
I believe he worked alone too but a little known fact is that the leader of the chicago ripper crew named Robin Gecht had worked for gacy in his youth. They were responsible for several disturbing murders in the area around the early eighties. Wonder if there was any further connection but probably not.
The police definitely could have caught him earlier if they would have taken the situation more seriously. The police did a piss poor job! Welcome to “Crook” County. It’s a dear shame!
th-cam.com/video/euS9LRuOTJ8/w-d-xo.html Link above is to a 5 hour 8 minute documentary in chronological order a good place to start to follow this. If you follow this whole thing in detail you get to see how continuously there were close calls however also how lazy the cops were and how if they had have just did their job they could have caught him sooner and saved so many lives. Nothing new. Lazy cops All over the planet. The police, thought they wanted a career -- turns out they just wanted a paycheck.
Im surprised they built another house on that land. Its a grave yard without the graves. 29 young souls were murdered there. If i bought that house and found out what happened there, id immediately sell. I wouldn't even sleep there. Creepy af.
I live in the town where this happened, and my fathers friend was one of his murder victims. My grandpa tore down his house and saw the basement. Everyone here is still affected by it to this day.
Can't even imagine what it would have been like to be in that town when this was happening! Sorry for your loss, and thanks so much for sharing your story with us!
What in world people wanna live in there not for something ghostly or paranormal but just sleeping on bed in night where under you 29 people are ghastly murdered and tortured and burried without any prayers? Good lord ✝️
I actually thought the same thing, that a memorial should have been erected on the lot rather than building another house. But then again I kind of understand the logic of building another house there too, the neighbors in the area probably don't want to be reminded of what happened there and are trying to obliterate it. A memorial would be a constant reminder I suppose.
In fairness to his father. When Gacy was brought into custody he claimed that he had a heart condition. But when the jail doctors examined him they determined he was making it up. The thing is Gacy lied alot about his life to other people.
th-cam.com/video/euS9LRuOTJ8/w-d-xo.html In this 5-hour documentary link above, you get to see how he lied and lied and lied and lied. And when I had heard that he had a heart condition I was first thinking how on Earth could he have had a heart condition and lived to be so fat all his life, and as he even says in this documentary eating everything in sight. So that makes sense, he never had a heart condition.
No, he never took kids from the neighborhood (Norwood pk township) until he killed the young man who work at the pharmacy in Des Plaines, which was traced to Gacy. He would go drive around bus stations and pick up young men who needed money. Such a sick minded individual.
I went to High school with 3 of John Gacy 's victims , He advised on the school bulliten board at Dwight D Eisenhower High , For summer labor jobs Horrible memories ,
@@McAndrewTravels Yes I went to high school with 3 of them , All straight , Just kids looking for a summer job , 3 very close friends from shop class , Then Word got out he wouldn't pay anyone after Two weeks , Then he used that as bait. , Sure come on over to my house , I'll write you a check for what I owe you , and these high school children were never seen again,
My abusive ex-husband bought 3 houses down from Paul Bernardo's &Karla Holmoka's. What's weird about that place is, it was on a corner lot in an established community, and all the other cover homes had big picture windows that looked directly at their home. Needless to say EVERY neighbour sold their home right after the news broke.
Police were not serious about stopping him early same as Milwaukee cannibal,remember how they returned 14 years old bleeding boy who escaped from his torture to him , they believed his story than the boy who needed their help 😢.
You guys did a great job on this video. It’s sad that some of the victims have not yet been identified. Hopefully, their identities will be discovered, and we can finally remember them for who they were before their lives were ended by this monster.
I would buy this house to do paranormal research in the house, to see if I can make contact with the victims and let them know how much we love them and hope that they are resting well. Just to provide their spirits with comfort. God bless those souls that were lost. I firmly believe the Lord saved them as soon as they gave their last breath. Love you all. Your not forgotten!
The gacy story is horrific, but one boy who gacy attempted to tie up, was a wrestler, who basically beat the shit out of him. What gets me about the story is how many boys managed to get out before they became victims, and STILL the police dragged their ass and they could have stopped gacy way before he reached the humber of victims he did. I mean, he ran out of space in his crawlspace and started using the river. HE. RAN. OUT. OF. ROOM. Disgusting.
The police work (or lack thereof) in this case is perhaps the most mind blowing thing about it! As you point out they had every opportunity to figure it out, but they did nothing. Even now there is more they could do including doing a proper search at the apartments and making sure all the bodies are identified properly. It's crazy really.
@@McAndrewTravels I wonder if the bodies at the apartment is decomposed by now or not. Regardless they should have dug by the appartment decades ago. I know he dumped at least 3 bodies in a river
The police were full of shit, they were told about the bodies that could be buried at gacy’s grandmothers former residence and they said they didn’t want to find any more bodies.
He was never really a clown. He was a contractor when he lured in minors and teenagers. He was only a clown on special occasions like parties or events. During his killing spree he was dressed casually in normal clothes
I just watched a makeup X story time and it said how john wayne gacy’s first victim escaped. He was a hitch hiker (the victim) and he noticed he turned the wrong way so he told john. Then john said ur coming with me. When john stopped at lights or something, the hitch hiker escaped and the reason john didnt have a door handle on his car was bc thats how his first victim escaped... sry for the long message but i thought i might as well comment it
Here After watching the netflix doc, thank god that house was torn down, cant help but think somewhere, somehow they've missed something especially around that garage area. Haunted or something cursed for sure! Also those balloons on your video just happened to be his 2 favourite colours!!! 😩🤯
Literally today my mom was searching for available for sale homes cause we want to move out eventually and she ACTUALLY came across this house online not knowing it was the exact location the gacy murders occured. She even called it a nice house and almost wanted to consider buying even! Until thankfully my dad realized it was on the street of the killer. wouldnt bear living in that area.Wowwwwww
I'm sure the neighborhood loved your visit. They get plenty of scavengers already, collecting dirt from the front yard -- as it it's even the same dirt that was there in the 1970s. Ghoulish to walk up on a house knowing people live in it. Can't drive by, unobtrusively?
It’s better to build a new house over the old space because when you build a memorial or a statue or something there will always be sinister people who glorify him or his „legacy“ and would disrupt the dead calm on this place
Thanks for the informative video. I live in Texas and then only been to Chicago a couple of times years ago.after seeing the movies and reading a couple of books about jwg, I'm sure there is always more to it than that is revealed by Hollywood. Thanks for showing the empathy to all the victims as well.I was close to the same age as some of those young men back in the seventies whose lives were taken way too soon by this monster. Excellent video 👍
society and roles in society were very different compared to today. Always wondered what happened to Carol Hoff's two daughters. I wonder how it was for them living there, and dealing with aftermath of his murders.
Idk man they would’ve done fine today too. They’re always very charismatic and persuading. That’s a perk of being a sociopath. But it’s a shallow charisma
I absolutely. Greg and likes her channel right away, I'm from Chicago, do you know they just identify one of his victims, yesterday, his name is Wayne, from North Carolina, he went to school in New York, met a girl in New York that was from Chicago, move to Chicago, got married, and then got divorced, and his family never heard from him again, he was literally identified two days ago, he was killed in 1975, where John Wayne Gacy would do his police hunting, not far from the Greyhound station, that's when he was shining a red light, and then of course the rest which were the teenagers, word usually job applicants, or actual people that work for him but this guy was identified yesterday, and do you know that if he would have served out his 10 years, in the Iowa Reformatory from the molestation of the kid, from the Jaycees guy, that he the kid he molested that was 15 years old, she would have gotten out on the day Robert Pieast his last victim was killed
Thank you so much. Gotta love Chicago, it’s so beautiful there. Really? That’s good to hear, thank you for letting us know. You definitely know lots of interesting details. We will have to cover that story one day, when we are in the area. That’s so sad.
JWG was actually ashamed of being gsy due to his upbringing. Ask psychiatrists, he was ashamed and that's why he killed most of his victims, like it didn't happen . Of course no witness no crime. He would have turned out different if his father was not abusive.
Wow i was trying to Google map the location but this is awesome! Thanks. Im super curious as to if anything paranormal goes on i cant imagine the energy sleeping inside this house at night
The house Gacy lived in was torn down in 1979. It was a vacant lot until 1994 where a new home was built, and the address was changed to 8215 W. Summerdale. Last I knew, the home was for sale and listed at a little over $449,000.00. You couldn't give me that house on a silver platter tied up with a gigantic red ribbon. Just like the Sharon Tate/Polansky house on Cielo drive, they tore the old house down and built a new one at the other end of the property. I wouldn't live there either.
No one looks for crimes like this in upper middle class neighborhoods. Even these days people still think serial killers live like Manson or Robert Pickton
It is very devastating and sad to know what these families have gone through. This was one of our harder stories to film. We’ve learned a lot of things that we didn’t know about prior to studying the fine details, it’s such a heartbreaking story. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone who were affected by the horrific tragedies.
Great video - thanks team ! I've read and watched a lot about this subject over the last 30 years or so, and seeing some of the places of note on your video was really interesting. Cheers.
In April 1979, the house where Gacy lived and hid his victims was destroyed. Investigators turned it upside down when they took up their case and made it uninhabitable. Being in it was a danger and that is why they believed that the best thing would be to destroy it.
Just came across your channel what a great job! So sad, hope y'all keep bringing more interesting stories. May God continue to bless you two and keep y'all safe
Thats strange to build another house there. Here in the uk I’m pretty sure they just tear serial killers houses down and leave it, usually locals dont want the house there
""8213 WEST SOMMERDALE WASNOT THE-CHILDHOOD HOME OF JOHN WAYNE GACY, ""THISWAS THEHOME THAT JOHN WAYNE GACY'S MOTHER SUPPOSEDLY HADBOUGHT DURING THETIME JOHN W. GACY WASPAROLED FROM A MENS PRISON IN IOWA, ""HE THEN RETURNEDBACK TO CHICAGO SOMETIME IN THE-LATE-1960's""!!!!!!!!!!!
We will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. If we do decide to cover it, it’ll be on our new channel (Twisted Crimes). We decided to put that kind of content on a different channel, that’s more fitting. 😉
Excellent presentation. Very respectful. And ya know no matter how much coverage the crimes of John Wayne Gacy gets, it all keeps begging questions doesn't it?! And what a miserable cuss JW Gacy's father was!! Continual prayers, blessings, and peace to all affected. ❤
Yeah the poor victim that buys the house could be really creeped out but at least the original house is gone IMO when building a house almost everything gets disturbed on the property and I worked for a builder participating in hundreds of houses being built BTW Mrs Mc Andrew is a good looking lady
He didn't get busted in that neighborhood, because all of the victims were through the Chicago Police Department, if it hadn't of been robbed piece, who was from DesPlaines, so that was the George situation that he came up under, he was found in the DesPlaines River, four months later, you got to remember this was the Blizzard of 78, and Christmas when they were still in there pulling the victim's out using their bare hands
There wasn't a lot of screaming and yelling, because when he would do the Handcuff trick, he would gag them with their own underwear, and then do the rope trick, I mean Rob piece mother was waiting for him, it was her birthday so she was in front of the store, and he said wait the guy that does the painting here, just told me I can make double of what I make here, he was getting paid $2.45 an hour, so John Wayne Gacy said that he will pay his, and that's why they putting he put him in the trunk of his car so quick, throw him in the river, by the time the police got to his house, asking if people come in just for questioning, your clothes were muddy as hell, because of what he had just done, and that bridge was just very muddy back there, because it actually had construction work that needed to be done, there was haulted for the winter
He moved his mother into the apartment building, after moving her out of her original apartment building, because he said he needed a house, in order to run his construction business, he was working at a pizza shop, and she was like invalid, she couldn't walk, she was in a wheelchair, that's how they got him out of prison, because his father had died, and she got a lawyer, saying that she needed to be taken care of, and they paroled him to the Illinois for a parole, and she bought that house on Somerdale for the both of them, and then he married his sister's best friend, who had two daughters of her own, he adopted them, but she did go into the garage which was supposedly his office, and she wasn't allowed in, and she saw meathook change that came down from the wall, and sleeping bags, and it scared her to death, one night she saw him pull up, and he was out there talking to someone young, but he didn't come in the house for 3 hours, and then she will always complain about the smell and saying that he needed to do something about it, and one day she was nosy and around in his car, and found the red flashlights, he will use when he was go to the Greyhound station of four people over, and badges, and a crowbar, he got the whole idea, of burying them under his files, from the candy man murders down in Texas
Be cool if you could take some video footage of some of the other houses, especially ones that had the same floorplan and design. I heard a lot of tract housings or similar houses to Gacy's were built in that neighborhood.
No he was born and raised in Illinois, in Chicago, he just so happened, to move away, once I'm with him and his father got into it, and I don't know if you're going to say this or not, I have a habit of leaving comments, immediately, when I hear something, I will pause it right there, cuz I know so much about this case, as much as I know about the Ted Bundy case, because I also lived in Seattle, but I'm from Chicago, here and away for like 6 months when he was seventeen, to Las Vegas and worked in a mortuary, but he moved back to Chicago, and then end up moving to I would cuz he met a girl, which he was never even attracted to women, I don't care what he says, and he married a girl, and Joint the Jaycees, and the girl's father, on a chain of KFC restaurant, and when he was sentenced to do the 10 years, the father made sure that his grandkids, and his daughter would never have anything to do with that man again, because he found out that John had even molested people at the KFC, and they were too scared to tell, because the boy that told his father on him a month after he had been molested, because John Wayne Gacy first gave him a joint, and then letting watchporn, then said it would be okay to do those things to each other, so then he baited him basically, and it took a month for the boy to tell his father, and after he told his father, John Wayne Gacy always had a method of paying other boys, and they beat this kid up really bad, so it didn't stop them from going through with it, but it was a method that he will use and all his cases, and if he would have served out his time, none of these cases in Chicago whatever happened, and the fact that they just identify a victim, because they had put his DNA into codes, and then they could not get a hit, so they use the help of the people from the University of Texas, that does all of the um, usually African-American, heritage's, to find out where we came from and that sort of thing, so they could you know look up great-grandparents and all of that, and they found a fifth cousin of his, that was in the penitentiary system, and they were able to go and question that guy, and then they did a DNA match from his mother and sister, and they never ever consider John Wayne Gacy, or that he was even still in Chicago, they thought that he was so heartbroken from his marriage, that he ran off and just didn't want to be bothered anymore, and that something was psychically wrong with him, I'm sorry I use text speaking, instead of actually typing, so they can tend to be long, and misspelled, because it can't understand, my accent clearly
They did and someone of the victim's body that they had identified so they said, but the sister said that she didn't believe that it was her brother, and it wasn't until the 2000s, it was around 2009, I think when they open back up this case, and they resumed the body and literally found the rightful owners, hate to put it in that text, and the sister whose mother never believed that was her fun, not that she didn't believe her son was killed by jonwayne, they just didn't believe that was his body, they didn't know what happened to to him, think of how many people that was killed by truckers, like they were the best serial killers, but and then you get a town and find out John Wayne Gacy at the kill, at least 33 that we know of, but somebody that kills that many people, they're like the Green River Killer, they cannot stop oh, so no one know, but the sister of the missing boy, was on the news, with the new family, and I saw them hugging and all of that, I'm not saying that was this guy, but I'm saying that did happen for one of the victims, and they just like the Chicago p.d. ignored all those families, they kept saying ma'am this is your son, it reminds me of the movie The Changeling with Angelina Jolie, about this serial killer, in the early 1900s, and the police department put her in a psych ward hospital, because she went against them saying that they gave her a fun, there was not hers, and years later end up figuring out, that there was the serial killer, he was called I believe the chicken coop serial killer, it was in LA I believe
I like how both of them are both in on the video and committed too it. Usually it’s just one person (usually a guy) and if a woman is there, she just drives by it and kinda laughs at how creepy it is.
Very interesting content, the story about Michael marino and arcade, I would like to think that ive watched every documentary on this case, but ive never heard that one, thanks for this. I always want to know more about his victims, but im am always disappointed in the lack of info. I know in at least two of the cases, the victim’s family never recovered, parents died early. Anyways, out of all the serial killers, i have always been most interested in the one, thanks for sharing
But i have a question that is bothering me even up to this date, How come that the neighbors of the suspect didn't smell something gross especially those houses that is adjacent to the suspect house??? That infact, some of those bodies were buried just a knee high, without any cement that was put up.
If you ever in Houston go ahead an visit 2020 Lamar drive also a house that was used by an infamous serial killer named Dean Corll. Quite and interesting story, he killed 27 young boys with the help of two teenage accomplices who lured their friends and close associates to his house to “Party”. Like Gacy who became the clown killer, Dean Corll became the Candy Man and essentially created the classic pedophile trope. One of his accomplices Elmer Wayne Henley is still alive and behind bars, you can actually write to him and he’ll write back. Here’s a brief doc m.th-cam.com/video/XYLkeRaMrKg/w-d-xo.html
I never heard of his father hitting him over the head with a broom, that caused him to lose conscious, but a wooden swing set, one time when he was playing at school, did hit him over the head and caused him to lose consciousness
Ask Michael Rossi, the clown that was buddies with David Cram.....Rossi lived there and protected Gacy, as well as did other things with John.....Rossi works at a car dealership in North burbs now
Would you buy that house? I know we wouldn't!
Yes I’d buy it
I would
No, I like to be able to sleep at night and feel comfortable in my home.
same
If it's cheap
Instead of building a new home on the property they should've build a memorial to show respect for the dead
We agree with you on that!
Agreed
Sure but I don’t think people would want to walk past that everyday, then have to think about how horrible their deaths were.
Waste of space.
@@josephmarzullo you can say that about any grave site
The original house was demolished due to the extensive damage from recovering the bodies in the crawl space. They actually had the local fire department cut the floor out of the house to make it feasible to recover I believe the 26-27 bodies located down there.

My abusive ex-husband bought 3 houses down from Paul Bernardo's &Karla Holmoka's. What's weird about that place is, it was on a corner lot in an established community, and all the other cover homes had big picture windows that looked directly at their home. Needless to say EVERY neighbour sold their home right after the news broke.
I live in norridge so down from there . I get goosebumps when I pass by there

Agree with you Mo. Sad they just didn't do their jobs.

Thanks Javier!
@McAndrew Travels You’re welcome! Keep up the great work! 👍
i doubt it. it was almost 50 years ago. case has to be closed by now
He even killed a Veteran
I would buy this house to do paranormal research in the house, to see if I can make contact with the victims and let them know how much we love them and hope that they are resting well. Just to provide their spirits with comfort. God bless those souls that were lost. I firmly believe the Lord saved them as soon as they gave their last breath. Love you all. Your not forgotten!
Leave the victims alone. You don’t know them or love them weirdo!
And end up contacting with Gacy 😂
Not the original home
You guys did a great job. Hopefully more answers can come up and give families the closure they deserve and the victims properly buried.
Thanks so much! Agree with you completely! Hopefully one day.
Great job???? HIS childhood house was on a corner. Do your research.... they didn't
The gacy story is horrific, but one boy who gacy attempted to tie up, was a wrestler, who basically beat the shit out of him.
What gets me about the story is how many boys managed to get out before they became victims, and STILL the police dragged their ass and they could have stopped gacy way before he reached the humber of victims he did.

He was never really a clown. He was a contractor when he lured in minors and teenagers. He was only a clown on special occasions like parties or events. During his killing spree he was dressed casually in normal clothes
U have to wonder if there is paranormal activity on that property...or if people stay long in the house built on property
People don't seem to stay too long...it's up for sale quite a bit it seems.
I just watched a makeup X story time and it said how john wayne gacy’s first victim escaped. He was a hitch hiker (the victim) and he noticed he turned the wrong way so he told john. Then john said ur coming with me. When john stopped at lights or something, the hitch hiker escaped and the reason john didnt have a door handle on his car was bc thats how his first victim escaped... sry for the long message but i thought i might as well comment it
Thanks for the great info! Hadn't heard about this one.
How did he kill the victim ? I’m sorry you said he escaped but what happened to him after ?
Here After watching the netflix doc, thank god that house was torn down, cant help but think somewhere, somehow they've missed something especially around that garage area. Haunted or something cursed for sure! Also those balloons on your video just happened to be his 2 favourite colours!!! 😩🤯
Didn't realize those were his favorite colors! Thanks for the info!
Done watching conversation with a killer the JOHN WAYNE GACY tapes at Netflix and I can't sleep after watching! It was frightening and horrifying.
Haven't seen it yet...we'll have to check it out.
Yes I like the killer tapes I hope they do more and longer episodes
they should have built some kind of memorial on that sight, I would never sleep in that property even if you pay me!
Agree with you that a memorial should have been built there.
Johnny's address was 8213 W Summerdale....when this house was built in 88, the address was changed to 8215
Literally today my mom was searching for available for sale homes cause we want to move out eventually and she ACTUALLY came across this house online not knowing it was the exact location the gacy murders occured. She even called it a nice house and almost wanted to consider buying even! Until thankfully my dad realized it was on the street of the killer. wouldnt bear living in that area.Wowwwwww
Crazy!!
I'm sure the neighborhood loved your visit. They get plenty of scavengers already, collecting dirt from the front yard -- as it it's even the same dirt that was there in the 1970s. Ghoulish to walk up on a house knowing people live in it. Can't drive by, unobtrusively?
If you choose to own a place like that it should be expected you will get visitors. Probably on a regular basis.
It’s better to build a new house over the old space because when you build a memorial or a statue or something there will always be sinister people who glorify him or his „legacy“ and would disrupt the dead calm on this place
Great point!
Thanks for the informative video. I live in Texas and then only been to Chicago a couple of times years ago.after seeing the movies and reading a couple of books about jwg, I'm sure there is always more to it than that is revealed by Hollywood. Thanks for showing the empathy to all the victims as well.I was close to the same age as some of those young men back in the seventies whose lives were taken way too soon by this monster. Excellent video 👍
Thanks so much Christian, we greatly appreciate the kind words it really helps keep us going!!
watching it on Netflix
Haven’t seen it yet. Is it good?
Disgraceful that anyone would build a residence back on that site.
If my many years of researching serial killers has taught me one thing - it was incredibly easy to get a wife in the 60s and 70s!
So true. It was also much easier to get away with murder.
society and roles in society were very different compared to today. Always wondered what happened to Carol Hoff's two daughters. I wonder how it was for them living there, and dealing with aftermath of his murders.
Very true lorac.
Idk man they would’ve done fine today too. They’re always very charismatic and persuading. That’s a perk of being a sociopath. But it’s a shallow charisma
Wow. Thank you for this very detailed video of where John Wayne Gacy’s home was. Thank you for showing of the grave sites of his victims ❤️👍🏻🎥.
Appreciate the comment.
I imagine the house is always going to be for sale. people that have lived there since then probably hear weird noises. might even be haunted👀
Hard to imagine why anyone would choose to live on that property.
@@McAndrewTravels agreed wholeheartedly.
I absolutely. Greg and likes her channel right away, I'm from Chicago, do you know they just identify one of his victims, yesterday, his name is Wayne, from North Carolina, he went to school in New York, met a girl in New York that was from Chicago, move to Chicago, got married, and then got divorced, and his family never heard from him again, he was literally identified two days ago, he was killed in 1975, where John Wayne Gacy would do his police hunting, not far from the Greyhound station, that's when he was shining a red light, and then of course the rest which were the teenagers, word usually job applicants, or actual people that work for him but this guy was identified yesterday, and do you know that if he would have served out his 10 years, in the Iowa Reformatory from the molestation of the kid, from the Jaycees guy, that he the kid he molested that was 15 years old, she would have gotten out on the day Robert Pieast his last victim was killed
Thank you so much. Gotta love Chicago, it’s so beautiful there. Really? That’s good to hear, thank you for letting us know. You definitely know lots of interesting details. We will have to cover that story one day, when we are in the area. That’s so sad.
JWG was actually ashamed of being gsy due to his upbringing. Ask psychiatrists, he was ashamed and that's why he killed most of his victims, like it didn't happen . Of course no witness no crime. He would have turned out different if his father was not abusive.
Agree with you Lorac.
That lot should have been deemed unrestricted or unbuildable. Fill in the lot with trees or preserve area.
We believe a memorial to the victims should have been built on the site.
Very good video. Narrated with elegance and respect.
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
The dirt contains victims’ blood/DNA
Good point!
Really enjoyed it. Just discovered your channel. Subscribed..!! Looking forward to more content. Awesome work..!
Thanks so much for watching and for commenting. We really appreciate it! Thanks for the kind words as well!
Wow i was trying to Google map the location but this is awesome! Thanks. Im super curious as to if anything paranormal goes on i cant imagine the energy sleeping inside this house at night
I think that was why the house was for sale 2 years ago. I'd assume it'd be haunted.
The house Gacy lived in was torn down in 1979. It was a vacant lot until 1994 where a new home was built, and the address was changed to 8215 W. Summerdale. Last I knew, the home was for sale and listed at a little over $449,000.00. You couldn't give me that house on a silver platter tied up with a gigantic red ribbon. Just like the Sharon Tate/Polansky house on Cielo drive, they tore the old house down and built a new one at the other end of the property. I wouldn't live there either.
Yes, great information! We’ve been out to Cielo Drive as well. Wouldn’t even want to live on that street…or this one either for that matter!
Who in the right mind would rebuild a house on top of that site
Not us!
No one looks for crimes like this in upper middle class neighborhoods. Even these days people still think serial killers live like Manson or Robert Pickton
Very true!
So sad. My heart breaks for these families.
It is very devastating and sad to know what these families have gone through. This was one of our harder stories to film. We’ve learned a lot of things that we didn’t know about prior to studying the fine details, it’s such a heartbreaking story. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone who were affected by the horrific tragedies.
Great video - thanks team ! I've read and watched a lot about this subject over the last 30 years or so, and seeing some of the places of note on your video was really interesting. Cheers.
Thanks so much Adam! Cheers to you as well!
Great video you guys keep up the awesome work!! Rip to all the victims
Thanks for watching and for the nice comment!
Idk but some fact ive heard lowkey make me think that the halloween movies may have been based on his story
Never heard that, but it does make some sense!
I would move to a new city. Even being neighbors to the house makes me uncomfortable
In April 1979, the house where Gacy lived and hid his victims was destroyed. Investigators turned it upside down when they took up their case and made it uninhabitable. Being in it was a danger and that is why they believed that the best thing would be to destroy it.
Makes sense.
Just came across your channel what a great job! So sad, hope y'all keep bringing more interesting stories. May God continue to bless you two and keep y'all safe
Thanks so much Aimee!
Welcome
The house, the property...I WOULD NOT BUY..
I would not even buy within a 1 mile radius of that property....
Thats strange to build another house there. Here in the uk I’m pretty sure they just tear serial killers houses down and leave it, usually locals dont want the house there
It does seem very strange. Would love to see a memorial there instead of a house.
I live ten minutes from there thanks for the Video. You guys are a great team. Thanks
Thanks so much!
I'm Brazilian, John Wayne Gacy is a monster and became known worldwide for his wickedness.
""8213 WEST SOMMERDALE WASNOT THE-CHILDHOOD HOME OF JOHN WAYNE GACY, ""THISWAS THEHOME THAT JOHN WAYNE GACY'S MOTHER SUPPOSEDLY HADBOUGHT DURING THETIME JOHN W. GACY WASPAROLED FROM A MENS PRISON IN IOWA, ""HE THEN RETURNEDBACK TO CHICAGO SOMETIME IN THE-LATE-1960's""!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy looks like the Dan-O's guy lol
Mork from Ork
""CANYOU PLEASE DO A SEGMENT ON THE-ATLANTA CHILD MURDERS 1979 TO 1981""!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We may do that eventually on our new channel Twisted Crimes. Click on our picture on this post to check it out and subscribe. Thanks!
We will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. If we do decide to cover it, it’ll be on our new channel (Twisted Crimes). We decided to put that kind of content on a different channel, that’s more fitting. 😉
Cool people!
Thanks Nina!!
Excellent presentation. Very respectful. And ya know no matter how much coverage the crimes of John Wayne Gacy gets, it all keeps begging questions doesn't it?! And what a miserable cuss JW Gacy's father was!! Continual prayers, blessings, and peace to all affected. ❤
Thanks so much for the kind and true words!
@@McAndrewTravels you're welcome friends!
Would be interesting to have a clairvoyant walk through this house and see if any of the victims are still hanging around.
The original house was torn down because they tore up the floor to get to the crawl space, it’s not the original house now.
Yeah the poor victim that buys the house could be really creeped out but at least the original house is gone IMO when building a house almost everything gets disturbed on the property and I worked for a builder participating in hundreds of houses being built BTW Mrs Mc Andrew is a good looking lady
Thanks for the compliment about Mrs. McAndrew! Yeah, we wouldn’t want to live there even if everything was disturbed on the property.
Ew
I would never wanna live on such a property
We wouldn’t either!
He didn't get busted in that neighborhood, because all of the victims were through the Chicago Police Department, if it hadn't of been robbed piece, who was from DesPlaines, so that was the George situation that he came up under, he was found in the DesPlaines River, four months later, you got to remember this was the Blizzard of 78, and Christmas when they were still in there pulling the victim's out using their bare hands
There wasn't a lot of screaming and yelling, because when he would do the Handcuff trick, he would gag them with their own underwear, and then do the rope trick, I mean Rob piece mother was waiting for him, it was her birthday so she was in front of the store, and he said wait the guy that does the painting here, just told me I can make double of what I make here, he was getting paid $2.45 an hour, so John Wayne Gacy said that he will pay his, and that's why they putting he put him in the trunk of his car so quick, throw him in the river, by the time the police got to his house, asking if people come in just for questioning, your clothes were muddy as hell, because of what he had just done, and that bridge was just very muddy back there, because it actually had construction work that needed to be done, there was haulted for the winter
He moved his mother into the apartment building, after moving her out of her original apartment building, because he said he needed a house, in order to run his construction business, he was working at a pizza shop, and she was like invalid, she couldn't walk, she was in a wheelchair, that's how they got him out of prison, because his father had died, and she got a lawyer, saying that she needed to be taken care of, and they paroled him to the Illinois for a parole, and she bought that house on Somerdale for the both of them, and then he married his sister's best friend, who had two daughters of her own, he adopted them, but she did go into the garage which was supposedly his office, and she wasn't allowed in, and she saw meathook change that came down from the wall, and sleeping bags, and it scared her to death, one night she saw him pull up, and he was out there talking to someone young, but he didn't come in the house for 3 hours, and then she will always complain about the smell and saying that he needed to do something about it, and one day she was nosy and around in his car, and found the red flashlights, he will use when he was go to the Greyhound station of four people over, and badges, and a crowbar, he got the whole idea, of burying them under his files, from the candy man murders down in Texas
Wow that’s crazy, you definitely have lots of information, thank you for sharing with us.
Love your vids !!
Thanks Kelly!
I’m actually surprised that house wasn’t demolished.
The house was demolished. This is a new house in its place.
Be cool if you could take some video footage of some of the other houses, especially ones that had the same floorplan and design. I heard a lot of tract housings or similar houses to Gacy's were built in that neighborhood.
Great idea! Thanks for the tip!
No he was born and raised in Illinois, in Chicago, he just so happened, to move away, once I'm with him and his father got into it, and I don't know if you're going to say this or not, I have a habit of leaving comments, immediately, when I hear something, I will pause it right there, cuz I know so much about this case, as much as I know about the Ted Bundy case, because I also lived in Seattle, but I'm from Chicago, here and away for like 6 months when he was seventeen, to Las Vegas and worked in a mortuary, but he moved back to Chicago, and then end up moving to I would cuz he met a girl, which he was never even attracted to women, I don't care what he says, and he married a girl, and Joint the Jaycees, and the girl's father, on a chain of KFC restaurant, and when he was sentenced to do the 10 years, the father made sure that his grandkids, and his daughter would never have anything to do with that man again, because he found out that John had even molested people at the KFC, and they were too scared to tell, because the boy that told his father on him a month after he had been molested, because John Wayne Gacy first gave him a joint, and then letting watchporn, then said it would be okay to do those things to each other, so then he baited him basically, and it took a month for the boy to tell his father, and after he told his father, John Wayne Gacy always had a method of paying other boys, and they beat this kid up really bad, so it didn't stop them from going through with it, but it was a method that he will use and all his cases, and if he would have served out his time, none of these cases in Chicago whatever happened, and the fact that they just identify a victim, because they had put his DNA into codes, and then they could not get a hit, so they use the help of the people from the University of Texas, that does all of the um, usually African-American, heritage's, to find out where we came from and that sort of thing, so they could you know look up great-grandparents and all of that, and they found a fifth cousin of his, that was in the penitentiary system, and they were able to go and question that guy, and then they did a DNA match from his mother and sister, and they never ever consider John Wayne Gacy, or that he was even still in Chicago, they thought that he was so heartbroken from his marriage, that he ran off and just didn't want to be bothered anymore, and that something was psychically wrong with him, I'm sorry I use text speaking, instead of actually typing, so they can tend to be long, and misspelled, because it can't understand, my accent clearly
They did and someone of the victim's body that they had identified so they said, but the sister said that she didn't believe that it was her brother, and it wasn't until the 2000s, it was around 2009, I think when they open back up this case, and they resumed the body and literally found the rightful owners, hate to put it in that text, and the sister whose mother never believed that was her fun, not that she didn't believe her son was killed by jonwayne, they just didn't believe that was his body, they didn't know what happened to to him, think of how many people that was killed by truckers, like they were the best serial killers, but and then you get a town and find out John Wayne Gacy at the kill, at least 33 that we know of, but somebody that kills that many people, they're like the Green River Killer, they cannot stop oh, so no one know, but the sister of the missing boy, was on the news, with the new family, and I saw them hugging and all of that, I'm not saying that was this guy, but I'm saying that did happen for one of the victims, and they just like the Chicago p.d. ignored all those families, they kept saying ma'am this is your son, it reminds me of the movie The Changeling with Angelina Jolie, about this serial killer, in the early 1900s, and the police department put her in a psych ward hospital, because she went against them saying that they gave her a fun, there was not hers, and years later end up figuring out, that there was the serial killer, he was called I believe the chicken coop serial killer, it was in LA I believe
The fact that there's probably body's still around that neighboure hood but since it's been like a couple decades u can't see them
You sir are one step away from a truly impressive George W Bush impression!
Lol...perhaps I'll give it a shot.
Nice job guys. Also, Heather is exceptionally gorgeous!
Thanks so much Dan!
I like how both of them are both in on the video and committed too it. Usually it’s just one person (usually a guy) and if a woman is there, she just drives by it and kinda laughs at how creepy it is.
Thanks so much Doug!
What was the street called I wanna check Google maps
West Summerdale Avenue
Would you ever go back and see if there’s anything weird going on in that area?
Very informative ,cool video .but why y’all talking like y’all are channel 6news anchors 😭
Ha! Chris actually is a former news anchor/reporter, so you hit the nail on the head Walter!
@@McAndrewTravels ohhh that’s pretty cool then it makes sense 🔥u did very good with telling the back story and the current state of the situation
@@walterdawkins5354 thank you sir. We’ll continue to work on sounding less newsy. Appreciate you watching!

Thanks for subscribing! We haven't seen the Netflix series yet!
Why wearing shades when there is no sun ´?
Thanks Great Job !!
Thanks Kent!
Why would any sane person want to live on that property?
Agree with you Amara!
Very interesting content, the story about Michael marino and arcade, I would like to think that ive watched every documentary on this case, but ive never heard that one, thanks for this. I always want to know more about his victims, but im am always disappointed in the lack of info. I know in at least two of the cases, the victim’s family never recovered, parents died early. Anyways, out of all the serial killers, i have always been most interested in the one, thanks for sharing
Thanks Eric.
The cops pat themselves on the back but the truth is they dropped the ball.
Agree with you on that!
I work in this house making the roofing
That's really neat Victor. Thanks for sharing!
Video molto interessante....bravissimi.
Thank you!
Feb 27, 2022: Thanks for the video. Given the right circumstances, life can take horrific twists and turns. {John 3:16}
Amen Katryna. Thanks!
But i have a question that is bothering me even up to this date, How come that the neighbors of the suspect didn't smell something gross especially those houses that is adjacent to the suspect house??? That infact, some of those bodies were buried just a knee high, without any cement that was put up.
It is a very good question. You would think someone would have smelled something. It had to be a horrible smell coming from that house!
@@McAndrewTravels how come those neighbors didn't smell something gross on their area?
@@angprobinsyanongtambay5142 We don't understand that. Makes no sense!
@@McAndrewTravels its so weird that the neighbors didn't notice any foul smell.
This is not the actual house, the original house was destroyed and this was built on the property.
That’s very true, I actually mentioned that particular fact multiple times in this video.
If you ever in Houston go ahead an visit 2020 Lamar drive also a house that was used by an infamous serial killer named Dean Corll.
Quite and interesting story, he killed 27 young boys with the help of two teenage accomplices who lured their friends and close associates to his house to “Party”.
Like Gacy who became the clown killer, Dean Corll became the Candy Man and essentially created the classic pedophile trope. One of his accomplices Elmer Wayne Henley is still alive and behind bars, you can actually write to him and he’ll write back.
Here’s a brief doc
m.th-cam.com/video/XYLkeRaMrKg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the suggestion! We just left Houston not long ago, but we'll have to check it out next time!
I never heard of his father hitting him over the head with a broom, that caused him to lose conscious, but a wooden swing set, one time when he was playing at school, did hit him over the head and caused him to lose consciousness
Frances Wayne Alexander was his name, he was just identified a couple days ago
john gacy child hood home is still around that for sure.
yes. We visited it in this video.
Wonderful job. Only video I’ve seen with so many spots and so much information. Thank you both!
Wow! Thanks so much Michael!
This is a very beautiful Chicago area.
Yes it is. We love that area!
Ask Michael Rossi, the clown that was buddies with David Cram.....Rossi lived there and protected Gacy, as well as did other things with John.....Rossi works at a car dealership in North burbs now
great content guys
Thank you!
Great Video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! 👍
