In 1980, Gacy was convicted of murdering 33 young men ranging in age from 14 to 21.\nn 1978, after one of Gacy\u2019s victims, Robert Piest, was reported missing, police learned that Gacy was the last person known to have seen him. After obtaining a search warrant, police discovered the bodies of 29 boys and young men in or near Gacy\u2019s house; four other bodies were found in the nearby\xa0Des Plaines River. Indeed, the area of the house had\xa0emitted\xa0a foul stench for years, but Gacy had told his houseguests and his wife that the smell was the result of moisture buildup. At his trial Gacy\u2019s plea of innocent by reason of\xa0insanity\xa0was supported by the testimony of several psychologists, who diagnosed him as\xa0schizophrenic, but was rejected by the\xa0jury, which found him guilty of all 33 murders of which he was accused; he was executed by\xa0lethal injection\xa0in 1994. - Britannica\nSOURCES:\nhttps://www.newspapers.com/clip/97809682/\nhttps://www.newspapers.com/clip/97811240/\nhttps://apnews.com/article/chicago-2a5842ef8ee46f8d43799bc50f390ad8\nhttps://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Wayne-Gacy\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5s7WMxSplg\nhttps://www.biography.com/news/john-wayne-gacy-timeline-murders\nhttps://vault.fbi.gov/John%20Wayne%20Gacy\nJohn Wayne Gacy timeline: The efforts to recover, name his 33 ...https://www.chicagotribune.com \u203a history \u203a ct-john-wa\u2026\nJohn Wayne Gacy, the country's worst serial killer - Chicago ...https://www.chicagotribune.com \u203a nation-world \u203a chi-c\u2026\nJohn Wayne Gacy - Chicago Tribunehttps://www.chicagotribune.com \u203a topic \u203a john-wayne-\u2026\nLearn more about your ad choices.
