Season 7, Slipping Through the Cracks of Justice – Part 2: The Deadly Charade of John Wayne Gacy

Murder Phone

In this chilling second installment, host Tony Ciaglia—The Serial Killer Whisperer—is joined by his father Al and brother Joey as they plunge even deeper into the twisted descent of John Wayne Gacy.

After serving a laughable eighteen months in prison for sexually assaulting a teenage boy, Gacy slithers his way back into society… and right under the radar. He moves in with his mother, launches his construction business, and begins building what would become a house of horrors—brick by brick, lie by lie.

As the trio unpacks Gacy’s so-called reinvention, they unravel his early Chicago crimes: from the abduction and assault of a boy at the Greyhound station to the horrifying murder of sixteen-year-old Tim McCoy—his first known victim, buried in the crawl space of 8213 W. Summerdale Avenue. But McCoy wouldn’t be the last.

Gacy’s deadly double life intensifies: a respected businessman by day, a monstrous predator by night. With the help of a clueless parole system and law enforcement asleep at the wheel, Gacy evades justice again and again—even after multiple arrests and red flags. By 1975, he’s married, living with stepdaughters, and actively stacking bodies beneath their feet.

It’s bold. It's brutal. It’s infuriating. And it’s packed with the black humor, raw horror, and chilling truths only Murder Phone delivers.

Listen now… before Gacy slithers into your nightmares.
