2:22absolutely fine hopefully I'll see you
2:24again at some other point all that being
2:26said let's get straight into the case
2:28John way gy was born on March 17th 1942
2:32in Chicago Illinois he was the second of
2:35three children to John gy Senior and
2:37Maran Robinson Marian was a stay-at-home
2:40mother and so John Wayne gasy was mainly
2:42parented by his mother throughout his
2:45childhood because his father was just
2:46always off working but that was probably
2:49for the best because gas's father was a
2:52horrible man he was a very severe
2:55alcoholic after serving in World War I
2:57he was left with a lot of trauma after
2:59the the world war and so he turned to
3:01alcohol after that and alcohol made him
3:04not a very nice man at all he was cold
3:07he was mean he was verbally and
3:10physically abusive to all members of his
3:12family his wife and all of his kids but
3:15actually the main focus of his abuse was
3:17his second child John Wayne gasey I
3:20think the main reason for this is
3:22because he was the only man in the house
3:25he wasn't a man he was a child but um he
3:28would always defend his mother and his
3:30sisters from his father's abuse and so
3:33his father saw John Wayne gasi as kind
3:36of his only opposition because the girls
3:39never put up a fight one of gas's
3:41earliest memories of his father was his
3:44father was a mechanic and so this one
3:46time they were out in the garage his
3:48father was showing him this engine that
3:50he was working on or something and gy
3:52being a child being very curious he
3:54started like messing about with some of
3:56the parts and his father hit the roof he
3:59was Furious he grabbed a leather belt
4:02and started beating gasy with it and
4:05then at one point his mother jumped in
4:07to try and save her son but then his
4:10father only ended up abusing her as well
4:12and this was quite a common occurrence
4:14gas's father would just lash out at
4:17anyone that tried to go against him
4:19anyone that ever stood up to him would
4:21feel his wrath which is actually why a
4:24lot of the time John Wayne gasy would
4:26just sit and let the abuse happen
4:28because well to be hon honest he knew
4:30that if he didn't let it happen to him
4:32if he wasn't on the receiving end then
4:35his mother or his sisters would so
4:37effectively gasy was a voluntary punch
4:40bag for his father to save his mother
4:43and his sisters all the way through his
4:45childhood he did that and even aside
4:48from these traumatic beatings gas's
4:50father would make his son's life hell in
4:53different ways as well he would be
4:55verbally abusive manipulative he would
4:58make his life a misery d in day out he
5:01would let his son know that he was
5:03disappointed in him he would always call
5:05him dumb stupid ailure he would also be
5:08very homophobic towards his son despite
5:11gasy never explicitly talking about his
5:13sexuality with his father but he would
5:16still tell his son that he would
5:18probably grow up queer and he would
5:19always call him like awful names
5:21relating to that he was convinced that
5:23his son was gay and he had a huge
5:25problem with it and things only worsened
5:28for gy when he was seven years years old
5:30that's how young he had been this whole
5:32time his father hated this
5:34seven-year-old boy but yeah things only
5:36got worse for him when he was about 7
5:38years old and his father introduced him
5:40to one of his friends and this friend
5:43this grown man proceeded to sexually
5:47abuse John Wayne and gasy for the next
5:50few months and gasy never said a word to
5:54anyone about this abuse as it was
5:56happening because he he just knew that
5:59he would somehow be punished for it he
6:01knew what his father was like he knew
6:03that his father wouldn't take his side
6:05and so he was scared into silence he
6:08never told anyone about it until he was
6:09an adult but later that year so Gaye was
6:12still only about seven or eight years
6:13old at this point he actually went on to
6:16sexually abuse someone himself he and
6:19one of his friends actually cornered
6:21this girl at school and molested her his
6:24father ended up finding out about this
6:26and as I'm sure you can imagine he was
6:28Furious so once again he grabbed that
6:31leather belt and beat gayy black and
6:33blue with it for like the H hundredth
6:36time but by now he' kind of stopped
6:39reacting to it gasy would just sit there
6:41and let the beatings happen he didn't
6:43scream or cry or make a fuss anymore and
6:47this kind of took the fun out of it for
6:50his father which is such an awful thing
6:52to think about that his father was
6:54getting a kick out of abusing his son
6:56and seeing the fear in his own son's
6:59eyes he just wasn't getting the same
7:02thrill anymore and so gas's father upped
7:05the anti he started beating him harder
7:08and with new weapons until one day when
7:11gasy was only about 11 years old and his
7:14father knocked him out clean unconscious
7:17and this incident actually left gasy
7:20with longlasting health issues I think
7:22it must have damaged his brain in some
7:24sort of way because after this he
7:27started having fainting spells he would
7:30just be going about his day and he would
7:31just F just knocked out on the floor he
7:34would have these blackouts so frequently
7:36and he actually had to be hospitalized
7:38for them a few times but that was only
7:40one of many physical ailments that John
7:43Wayne gasey had throughout his life he
7:45was quite an ill person he always had
7:48something wrong with him he had a burst
7:50appendix at one point he had quite a
7:52serious heart condition that he was in
7:54and out of hospital for most of his
7:56childhood and his dad being the auor man
7:59that he was he never believed his son
8:02with any of these like physical
8:04illnesses burst appendix he thought he
8:06was lying he thought his son was lying
8:08about it these fainting spells that he
8:10would have all the time he thought that
8:11they were just fake and for attention or
8:13for sympathy but despite all his
8:16ailments and his horrific home life John
8:19Wayne gasy was able to lead a
8:21semi-normal life like a childhood
8:24adolescence and when he turned 18 years
8:26old he decided that he was going to get
8:28a career in politics and I think the
8:31main reason he chose politics was for
8:33his dad's sake he wanted to impress his
8:36father he wanted a well-respected job so
8:39that he could finally earn his father's
8:42respect but it actually ended up going
8:44the opposite way gy specifically wanted
8:46to work with the Democratic party which
8:49was not the party that his father
8:51supported and this only gave him more
8:54fuel to ridicule his son for but at this
8:57point in his life gasy is pretty pretty
8:59much all grown up he's like 18 19 years
9:01old he is a fully grown man and he is
9:03quite a a big guy not necessarily
9:06height-wise but he was quite overweight
9:08he had just generally quite a lot of
9:09body mass due to his heart condition he
9:12couldn't exercise very well and so for
9:14pretty much all of his life gay he was
9:16quite overweight and he was bigger than
9:18his father he had strength and body mass
9:21on his side something that his father
9:24was a little bit scared of now and so by
9:27now his dad had kind of stopped
9:29physically abusing him I think he was
9:31scared that one day Gaye was just going
9:33to turn around and fight back and and
9:35knock his dad out so now instead of the
9:37physical abuse gas's father was thinking
9:39of new different more creative ways to
9:44make his son's life hell so he bought
9:46him a car right which sounds like a good
9:50thing doesn't it Dad buying the son a
9:51car that's that's usually a good thing
9:54no he bought this car for gasy with the
9:58intention of holding it against him
10:00because he knew that his son couldn't
10:02afford a car himself but he kind of
10:03needed one to be able to get like to and
10:06from work so his dad bought him this car
10:08and he said right you can have it now
10:11and you can pay me back monthly for the
10:13next few years until you pay off the car
10:15but if gasy was ever short or late on
10:18these monthly payments his dad would
10:21withhold the use of the car he would
10:24take the keys off his son so that he
10:27couldn't get to and from work which
10:28meant that case he couldn't get to work
10:31anymore in this car which then had like
10:33serious implications on his life he was
10:35either late or he would miss days at
10:37work he would get into trouble with his
10:39boss he risked losing his job because
10:42his dad kept taking the car away from
10:44him after about a year of this like
10:47having the car taken away from him time
10:48and time again gasy was sick of it and
10:50so he went out and bought a spare set of
10:54keys for the car so that next time his
10:56Dad tried to take him off him he could
10:58still just get in the car and drive away
11:00and his father was fuming about this and
11:03he wasn't going to let his son get away
11:04with this and so his father went to the
11:07car and like took one of the parts out I
11:10don't know which part but it was a part
11:12that you need to be able to drive it
11:13because when gasy went and got back in
11:15the car it wouldn't go it wouldn't set
11:18off and this was John Wayne gase's
11:21breaking point he was now about 20 years
11:24old and his life his home life had just
11:27been constant stress and animosity and
11:30abuse and torture all his life and he
11:33was sick of it now so one day gase woke
11:36up and decided that he was just going to
11:37run away he was going to run far away
11:39from home and he went all the way to Las
11:41Vegas Nevada and here he was finally
11:45free he got himself a job as an
11:47ambulance driver which proved a little
11:49bit too stressful for him he didn't
11:51really like it and so he has to be
11:53transferred to the morog instead so now
11:58this future serial killer is working
12:00with dead bodies but G's employers were
12:04not aware at the time that gasey was
12:06actually homeless when he ran away to
12:08Las Vegas he hadn't found anywhere to
12:11stay he was just like sleeping on the
12:12street and now that he'd been
12:14transferred to the Mory he decided that
12:17he was going to try and live there live
12:20amongst the dead bodies in the morg so
12:22he bought himself a secondhand cot bed
12:26and set it up behind the embalming room
12:29and he lived there for months without
12:31anyone knowing but that aside weirdly
12:34enough everything was going quite well
12:36for John Wayne gasy at this point
12:38because well for the first time in his
12:40life he was away from his abusive father
12:43he was making friends he was getting to
12:45know people he was free he had his own
12:47life things were great but then he did
12:51something that ruined all of that one
12:54night he was about to go to sleep as
12:57usual behind the embalming room in his
12:59secondhand coted when he decided to go
13:02over to one of the fridges you know
13:04where they keep the dead bodies because
13:06he remember that there was the body of a
13:08teenage boy in one of them so he pulled
13:11the table out and climbed up on top of
13:14it alongside this teenage boy's corpse
13:18and just started cuddling him he was
13:20there for a couple of minutes just
13:22holding this boy's dead body until he
13:26started freaking out all of a sudden it
13:28was like at first he was enjoying it and
13:31then I think he realized what he was
13:33doing and panic started to set in it
13:36honestly sounds like he had a panic
13:38attack he jumped off this table put the
13:40body back and went to bed and tried to
13:43just forget what he'd just done but the
13:45next morning when gasy woke up he was
13:47still super super anxious about what
13:50he'd done the night before he called his
13:52mother up in an absolute state of panic
13:55begging her to let him come home so the
13:57very next day John Wayne gy was back in
14:00Chicago living with his parents he was
14:03back to square one and he decided that
14:05after this incident he was going to
14:07change his life he enrolled in a
14:10business University and he really got to
14:12work he did really really well and by
14:14the age of 21 he graduated with his
14:16diploma from there he got a job in a
14:18shoe shop as a Salesman and he was
14:20really really good at this job cuz gayy
14:22was quite good at persuading people and
14:25so he just kept getting promoted and
14:27promoted and promoted and for one of
14:28these promotions he was actually
14:30transferred to a different star in
14:32Springfield Illinois and it was there
14:35that he met a beautiful young woman
14:37named Marilyn Meyers that he started
14:40courting so let's just pause here for a
14:42sec and look at John Wayne gas's life
14:45he's really seemed to have turned things
14:48around he's gone to University got his
14:49diploma got a really good job that he
14:51just keeps getting promoted in he's got
14:53this girl that he likes he's living a
14:56normal life now he also got involved
14:58with a lot of Community stuff as well he
15:00joined an organization called the ja's
15:03which do a lot of like voluntary
15:05Community work it was a very respected
15:08thing because it was all voluntary like
15:09they didn't get paid for it they were
15:11just doing it for the good of the
15:13community and gase managed to work his
15:15way to the top of that too he was very
15:18well respected in the jcon so he just
15:20kept earning higher and higher titles
15:22and he managed to work his way all the
15:24way up to vice president everyone loved
15:26him there he was doing really really
15:28well until he did something to ruin it
15:31again so right now he's still dating
15:33Marlin Meers that he met at work but one
15:36night after one of his JC meetings he
15:40actually cheated on her with one of the
15:42J's and this was kind of a long time
15:45coming uh gasy had always wanted to
15:48explore his sexuality his potential
15:51bisexuality he'd always known that he
15:54was attracted to men but he'd been too
15:56scared to try anything initiate anything
15:59until this one particular night when he
16:01was very very drunk and he made a move
16:04on one of his JC friends and they
16:07reciprocated in fact I actually think it
16:09was the other way around I think it was
16:10the other man that offered to you know
16:13to gayy and he accepted I think that's
16:15the only way that this happened was that
16:17he didn't initiate it and I don't know
16:19if Marlin actually ever found out about
16:21this I don't know if she knew that gasy
16:23cheated on her at all but this really
16:26threw gas's head through the ringer a
16:28bit he he was so confused now because
16:30he'd only ever been with women all his
16:32life and he liked Maran he did he had
16:35feelings for her but he was really
16:38excited about about this guy and the the
16:41potential to get with other guys as well
16:44he realized that that was what he wanted
16:47to to be getting with men not to be with
16:50Marlin he felt like he was kind of stuck
16:53with her now but he didn't want to leave
16:55Marlin uh not necessarily because he was
16:58in love with her more so because she
17:00came from a very rich family a very very
17:03rich family her dad was minted her dad
17:05actually ended up buying three KFC
17:08restaurant franchises that he was going
17:10to hand down to his daughter one day his
17:13daughter and whoever his daughter ended
17:14up marrying and so gase was like that's
17:18that's going to have to be me there was
17:19a lot of money in owning three
17:22restaurants and so John wayney decided
17:25to propose to Marlin Meers and within
17:28six months they were married and living
17:30in Iowa I think that's where the three
17:33KFC restaurants were based I think
17:35that's where Marlin was originally from
17:37so they moved to Iowa and her father
17:40handed down the three KFC restaurants to
17:42his daughter and her new husband so now
17:45John Wayne gey was made manager of all
17:49three of these KFC restaurants which
17:51meant he was Wrecking in a lot of money
17:54he was making in a year the equivalent
17:56of like 135,000
17:59a year today which you would think would
18:02be making him really happy he'd be
18:04really excited but no he just could not
18:07get that sexual experience with that man
18:10out of his head he knew that he was
18:12living a lie here with Marlin you know
18:14this life with all the restaurants it's
18:16not what he wanted he wanted to be
18:20exploring his sexuality and this is
18:23where things start to get weird so at
18:26one of these particular KFC restaurants
18:28there was a basement that gayy nicknamed
18:31the club and every now and again he
18:34would have employees down in the
18:36basement for drinks after work but when
18:39I say employees he would actually only
18:42invite a very small percentage of the
18:45workforce and that small percentage just
18:47so happened to be teenage boys or young
18:50men early 20s he didn't care to have the
18:53women over for drinks or like the older
18:55people it was just the young men and the
18:58boys gy would provide these young boys
19:01and men with alcohol underage and they'd
19:05never really experienced this before
19:07they've never really tried alcohol
19:08before and so they would get really
19:10really drunk because they didn't know
19:12their limits and after a few months of
19:14drinking in the club gasy started making
19:18sexual advances on these boys once he'd
19:21got them drunk sometimes the boys would
19:24go along with it and it would be
19:25reciprocated but other times the boys
19:28would be like like whoa what are you
19:29doing I don't I don't want to do that
19:31and then gasy always had an answer he
19:33would play it off as if it had been a
19:36test he'd be like good I was testing you
19:39I wanted to judge your morals you passed
19:42the test and then he would just like
19:43laugh it off despite regularly cheating
19:46on his wife with his employees John
19:48Wayne gy and Marlin went on to have two
19:51children together a son and a daughter
19:53named Michael and Christine and gasey
19:55always looked back on this time in his
19:58life very very fondly he said that these
20:00were the best years of his life when he
20:02was managing these restaurants he had a
20:05wife at home he had two beautiful
20:07children and even his relationship with
20:10his father was going well his dad had
20:12had a whole change of heart towards gasc
20:15ever since he became successful managing
20:18three restaurants he had a wife he had
20:20two kids he married into money his dad
20:24liked him now he respected him now it
20:26was a very conditional love
20:29and love is a very big word to use but
20:31gasy was absolutely over the moon that
20:33he had finally earned this love and
20:37respect from his father something that
20:38he had never been able to do no matter
20:41how hard he tried all his life his dad
20:43actually apologized to gasy for the way
20:46that he treated him all his life and his
20:48exact words were I was wrong about you
20:51and this just meant the world to gy he
20:54had yearned for this all his life and he
20:57finally had it so yeah things were going
20:59amazingly well for gasy at this point in
21:02his life nothing was actually going
21:04wrong at all for once he was still
21:06working with the ja's he'd like
21:08transferred to the Iowa J's now that
21:10he'd moved there and they loved him
21:12because he was the manager of three KFC
21:15restaurants he would always provide free
21:17KFC at their meetings he'd give them all
21:19free chicken free alcohol they would
21:22meet up in the basement Club he actually
21:24insisted that they all call him the
21:26colonel which is a bit weird but yeah
21:28things were going a bit too well for a
21:30bit too long and as always with John
21:32Wayne gasy he has to do something to
21:36[ __ ] it up so one thing about the Iowa
21:38Jes they threw wild parties like wild
21:42wild parties there were drugs drink porn
21:46sex workers prostitutes literally
21:49anything everything these parties were
21:51freaking crazy apparently you name it
21:54they were doing it and more often than
21:56not they were hosted in gases basement
21:59Club so after a few of these crazy crazy
22:02parties and after gaining all of the J's
22:05trust JY then uh made a really weird
22:08suggestion he told all the men that they
22:11should bring along their young Sons to
22:13the next party but they're like 14 15 16
22:16year old sons and for some reason they
22:18all agreed they all thought that would
22:20be a good idea but you can see where
22:21this is going right you can see G's
22:24intentions here he is attracted to young
22:27boys and young men that's obviously the
22:30reason that he wanted them to bring
22:31along their sons gy wanted to take
22:34advantage of these children sexually and
22:36he had a plan on how he was going to do
22:38it in fact he' concocted this whole like
22:41fake story that he would tell these kids
22:45in order to gain their trust and be able
22:48to abuse them so he would tell these
22:50young boys that he was conducting
22:53scientific research into
22:55homosexuality and he was you know doing
22:58real tests on real people and he needed
23:01participants he needed young boys to
23:04take part in sex acts for scientific
23:08research purposes and he would pay the
23:11boys for this he would pay them like
23:13$500 to have sex with him basically and
23:16for these young teenage boys $500 is a
23:19bluming lot of money a lot of money that
23:21a lot of them didn't want to refuse and
23:24so this tactic worked more often than
23:27not these boys would take the money to
23:29have sex with John Wayne gasey but gasy
23:32didn't start using this tactic straight
23:34away this was a tactic that he had like
23:36built over time so let's talk about his
23:39first ever victim this first victim was
23:42a 15-year-old boy named Donald Vorhees
23:44he was one of the ja's young sons and
23:48actually this first victim gayy didn't
23:50lure back to the KFC basement he led him
23:54back to his home where he lived with his
23:56wife and two kids Casey took Donald home
24:00got him really really drunk and showed
24:02him porn for the first time ever in his
24:05life so they were watching straight Pawn
24:08on the TV and gayy turned to Donald and
24:11he said you know in order to have sex
24:13with a woman you need to have had sex
24:16with a man first you know that right you
24:18know that rule and Donald was like what
24:20no I I never knew about that I never
24:21knew about this rule obviously not cuz
24:23it's not real but of course Donald being
24:2715 years old and drunk he believed this
24:30older man because why wouldn't he he had
24:33no reason not to trust his father's
24:36friend and so Donald VES agreed to have
24:39sex with John Wayne gy that night and
24:42this actually happened a few more times
24:45over the next few months I believe and
24:46eventually after six months of suffering
24:50in silence Donald VES told his father
24:54what John Wayne gy had been doing to him
24:56and understandably so his father was
24:58seething he immediately reported gasy to
25:01the police police went round to his
25:03address and arrested him on suspicion of
25:06sexual offenses against a minor but gasy
25:08was incredibly defensive he maintained
25:12his innocence so much so that he
25:14actually demanded they give him a lie
25:15detector test because he was so sure
25:18that he would pass it which remember
25:19this was like the 1960s and polygraph
25:22test were they were really believed back
25:24then they were quite a new thing and so
25:26everyone was really excited about them
25:27everyone believed believe them these
25:29days not so much No One Believes
25:31polygraph tests but back then this would
25:33have been seen as a big bold move from
25:36John Wayne gy because like I said
25:39everyone believed them so police gave
25:40him the polygraph test and he didn't
25:44exactly fail but he also didn't pass it
25:47was inconclusive they couldn't get a
25:49result this essentially told police that
25:52gasy was nervous he was too anxious for
25:55them to even be able to get a reading on
25:58him so they questioned him again and
26:00they said well why would Donald's father
26:02lie about this what does he have to gain
26:05from this and gy said that he thought
26:08that Donald's father was after his
26:10position as vice president of the JY he
26:13was jealous he wanted to take him down
26:16as the competition and so starting these
26:19rumors these allegations very serious
26:21allegations could get gayy taken out of
26:24the ja's so then Donald's father could
26:26take his spot and this conspiracy theory
26:29was actually backed up by a lot of the
26:32other ja's they all started defending
26:34John Wayne gasy and denouncing Donald's
26:38father the J's didn't believe that gasy
26:40could be capable of such heinous things
26:43they thought he was a great guy because
26:45all they'd ever seen was a great guy
26:48they all agreed that Donald's father
26:49must just be jealous and he must have
26:51just been trying to take him down and so
26:53they all fell out with him and backed
26:56John Wayne gasi so it seemed that all in
26:58all gasy was going to be fine after this
27:01he had pretty much everyone on his side
27:03no one believed the allegations but that
27:06wasn't enough for him he wanted Revenge
27:09specifically on 15-year-old Donald V's
27:13for telling gase was eventually released
27:15from police custody when they decided
27:17that he was innocent and so he went back
27:19to work at the KFC restaurant and he
27:22pulled aside one of his young employees
27:24a 16-year-old boy named Russell schroer
27:27Russell was quite a muscular boy and so
27:30gasey gave him this proposition he
27:33offered him
27:35$2,500 a lot of money for a 16-year-old
27:38he would PVE Russell that if he would
27:40track down Donald VES beat him up and
27:44tell him to retract his statement and
27:46Russell was up for it he could not turn
27:48down that kind of money so the next day
27:50Russell lured Donald VES into a secluded
27:53area in the park sprayed him in the eyes
27:56with pepper spray and demanded that he
27:58retracted the accusations against gayy
28:01but Donald said no he he wasn't going to
28:04do that so Russell knew what he had to
28:06do and he beat up Donald VES he left him
28:10laying on the floor in such a state he
28:13had blood all over him he couldn't get
28:15up for a while but little did Russell
28:17know Donald VES knew who he was and he'd
28:21seen him before he pepper sprayed him in
28:23the eyes and So eventually When Donald
28:26could get up and go to the police police
28:28station to report this he gave over
28:30Russell's name cuz he knew who would
28:32attacked him the very next day Russell
28:34was arrested he was taken for
28:36questioning and he denied everything he
28:38was like nah n n I've never seen Donald
28:40VES in my life I never did that but as
28:42the questionings continued he knew that
28:45he couldn't get away with it and So
28:46eventually he told the truth that John
28:48Wayne gasey had paid him to do that so
28:51now things look a million times worse
28:54for gasy because now not only is he
28:56charged with the sexual offenses
28:58but he looks guilty as hell because he's
29:01trying to get people to retract his
29:03statement by beating them as well so
29:05yeah he's still charged with the sexual
29:07offenses and now he's also charged with
29:10trying to intimidate a witness and yeah
29:12he just looks a million times more
29:13guilty before he was due to go to trial
29:16for this John Wayne gasey was given like
29:18psychiatric evaluations and observations
29:21and stuff um he actually spent a whole
29:2317 days just being watched by a load of
29:26doctors so that they could observe his
29:28behavior at the end of all of these
29:30tests John Wayne gasy was diagnosed with
29:32antisocial personality disorder however
29:35his doctors said that they really didn't
29:37think medication would help at all they
29:41thought that nothing could be done to
29:43help or change this man no treatment no
29:47medication Under the Sun could fix John
29:50Wayne gasy but he was deemed fit to
29:53stand trial where he actually pled
29:55guilty to sexually assaulting Don VES
29:58but in the exact same breath so he's
30:01just pled guilty but then he went on to
30:03say oh but it was consensual and
30:05actually Donald asked me to do it so why
30:08would you plead guilty if you insist
30:11that it was consensual something's not
30:13quite adding up there gy said that
30:15Donald was the one that initiated the
30:17sexual contact that they had that night
30:20but then in the aftermath Donald
30:22regretted it changed his mind and that
30:24is where these allegations came from but
30:26despite all of his excuses all of his
30:29lies John Wayne casy was found guilty
30:32and he was sentenced to 10 years in
30:34prison for this the very same day that
30:36gasy got that verdict his wife Marlin
30:39filed for divorce and she actually won
30:42custody of both of their children as
30:43well and from that day on he never saw
30:47any of them ever again so gy goes to
30:50prison and just like many other times in
30:52his life he has hit a new L this seems
30:55to happen quite a lot for gasy he hits
30:58rock bottom gets in prison or like has
31:01these allegations something happens
31:03something disastrous happens but he
31:05always manages to build his life back up
31:07again well I suppose as much as you can
31:10build your life back up in prison as far
31:12as prison lives go he had a blooming
31:14good one he was a model prisoner all the
31:17staff all the guards loved him because
31:19he was just very well behaved and this
31:22meant that he got a lot of perks very
31:24early on in his prison stay he was made
31:27head cut cook like within a few months
31:29there was also a JC's organization
31:32within the prison fancy that so surprise
31:35surprise he joined worked his way up the
31:37ranks and very quickly became one of the
31:40most powerful people within the J's the
31:42prison J's and he was a very very
31:45popular man in that prison everyone
31:47loved John Wayne gasy for some reason um
31:50and when he initially joined the J's
31:53they only had like 50 members but
31:56because all the other inmates loved gy
31:58so much he managed to get them all to
32:02join the ja's it went from 50 when he
32:05joined to
32:07650 he made 600 other inmates want to
32:11join his club and gy managed to do a lot
32:15as part of the prison jy's like he made
32:17the most changes in that prison that
32:19anyone ever had he campaigned for better
32:21living conditions increased pay for
32:24inmates and he got everything he ever
32:27asked for
32:28including a mini golf course in the
32:31prison yard so of course everyone loved
32:33him after only about a year into this
32:3610-year sentence gasy applied for parole
32:39which was rejected because he had served
32:42one tenth of his sentence and it didn't
32:44seem like he was that much of a changed
32:47man so this only motivated him to try
32:50even harder and then reapply for parole
32:53and hopefully if they could see how many
32:55improvements he'd made they might let
32:58him out so he did everything he could to
33:00try and impress the parole board he took
33:0316 High School courses so now he had 16
33:07more qualifications he could prove to
33:10them that he would be a very valuable
33:12member of society if they let him out
33:14because 16 more qualifications but in
33:16the middle of all of this hard work gayy
33:19got some awful news his father had
33:23passed away and he was so incredibly
33:26heartbroken over the this I think
33:28because it had taken him so long to earn
33:30his father's love and respect and now
33:33he'd only had it for such a short amount
33:35of time and it was just ripped away from
33:38him just as quick as he'd got it and he
33:40really really struggled with his grief
33:43um he tried to apply for leave to be
33:46able to go to his father's funeral but
33:48that was actually denied and this only
33:49made the grieving process even harder
33:52that he couldn't say goodbye to his
33:54father that he couldn't you know see his
33:56family and and and speak to them but
33:58yeah life goes on gasy just kept working
34:01on those High School qualifications so
34:03that he could eventually apply for
34:05parole again in a year's time actually
34:07it was less than a year I think it was
34:09about another 6 months after his last
34:12application so he'd only done like a
34:13year and a half of his 10year sentence
34:16before he applied again and this time it
34:19was granted John wayney was allowed to
34:22leave prison after serving a year and a
34:24half for raping a child so he was
34:27released from prison and he was put on
34:29probation for a year and one of the
34:32rules of his probation was that his
34:33parole officers oh is it parole
34:35probation I don't know uh basically they
34:38needed to know where he lived at all
34:41times of course they needed to be able
34:42to keep tabs on him one little problem
34:44though John Wayne gas's wife left him
34:48and so he didn't have a house to go back
34:50to so the only option he had was to move
34:54back home and live with his mother in
34:56his old family home now without his
34:58father in it and gy felt as though this
35:01was such a setback he was like back to
35:04square one in his life and another one
35:06of the rules of his probation his parole
35:08I don't know what's the right word to
35:10use I don't know another one of the
35:11rules was that he had a 10pm curfew
35:15which made him feel like a child again
35:17like he was living at home with his
35:20mother with a curfew he had a bedtime he
35:22couldn't go out with his friends I don't
35:24think he had many friends he had to be
35:26home by 10: p.m. and this was like hell
35:29for gasy but I mean it was better than
35:32prison anything was better than prison
35:34and so he got on with it he started
35:36rebuilding his life again from the
35:38ground up of course managing three KFC
35:41stores was a thing of the past ever
35:43since the divorce of course his wife
35:45managed to keep the KFC restaurants and
35:48so John Wayne gasy went out and got
35:49himself a job as a chef because he did
35:52have a lot of culinary experience
35:55working in the KFCs and then of course
35:57being head chef or head cook in the
36:00prison but even though he was out of
36:01prison now John Wayne gasy became very
36:04very depressed in his new life he had
36:07gone from having it all a few years ago
36:10he had the wife the kids the house the
36:12three restaurants the J's the power the
36:16respect the money everything he had a
36:19great life and he lost it all now he
36:23very quickly grew bored with this new
36:25life and with very little to do John
36:28Wayne gasy would soon be back to his
36:31criminal ways N9 months into his
36:34probation in 1971 John Wayne gy was
36:37charged with sexually assaulting another
36:40teenage boy at this point John was about
36:4329 30 years old the teenage boy wasn't
36:46named in any of the articles that we
36:48could find although it did seem as
36:49though he was a runaway in fact very
36:52reminiscent of my last serial killer
36:54case the vampire of Hanover he would
36:56specifically go to the train station to
36:58Target runaways who were desperate for
37:01things like shelter warmth food things
37:04that a runaway is not going to say no to
37:07and it's believed that in this instance
37:09that's exactly what John Wayne gasey
37:10offered this young boy so yeah they
37:13believe that gayy picked up this teenage
37:15runaway from the train station or the
37:17bus station or whatever and took him
37:19back to his home when they got there
37:22gasy tried to rape this boy but he
37:25actually escaped and managed to run away
37:27and and tell the police and this sexual
37:29assault case actually made it all the
37:31way up to the trial process so they were
37:33due to go to court for this but on the
37:36day that it went to trial the victim
37:38didn't show up at the courthouse and so
37:41the case was actually dropped completely
37:43which is very very frustrating and you
37:45can kind of see it from both sides how
37:48are they supposed to have a trial if the
37:50the victim the only witness that they've
37:52got isn't there but also at the same
37:54time this is a man that has literally
37:55been found guilty of that same crime
37:58before and he's still on probation for
38:00it so it's believable that he probably
38:03did this but anyway he was let free with
38:06absolutely zero repercussions like not
38:08even extended probation or anything like
38:11that it was literally as if it was just
38:13forgotten about it was as if the
38:15accusations just never even happened and
38:17we don't really know much more about
38:19that case at all although a lot of
38:22people believe that gasy did a similar
38:25thing to this boy as he did to Donald
38:27VES you know he paid Russell to go and
38:30beat him up and retract the statement
38:32maybe that's why this victim never
38:34turned up to the courthouse maybe he'd
38:36been threatened by John Wayne gasey or
38:39by you know a minion of his which makes
38:42the trial outome even more frustrating
38:45because gasy has also been found guilty
38:48of trying to intimidate a witness before
38:51so if that's a theory in this case I
38:53don't know his his track record is kind
38:56of proving itself here he he looks like
38:59he's just repeating the same things but
39:01for some reason they can't well they
39:04can't prove it this time round which is
39:06very very frustrating but anyway this
39:08close call that happened right here was
39:10enough to scare John Wayne gasy into
39:13laying law for a few months at least
39:15until his probation was up he was on
39:17probation for like a full year so for
39:19the rest of it he was just going to stay
39:21quiet not commit any more crimes but
39:23once that day came that he was released
39:26released from probation what's it called
39:28his probation ended gasey was right back
39:32to it actually that was factually
39:34incorrect he gave it four days four days
39:37his probation ended 4 days later he was
39:40right back to it John Wayne gasy
39:41sexually assaulted another young boy and
39:44again this boy isn't named in any
39:46articles although this this incident
39:48went a little bit different to the last
39:50one this time gasy actually pretended to
39:54be a cop he walked up to this this young
39:56boy flashed a fake police badge or like
40:00one that he'd stolen no idea where he
40:01got it from flashed this police badge
40:04and told the kid to get in his car with
40:05him and of course the kid did it because
40:08he thinks he's a police officer he's not
40:10going to say no to a police officer so
40:11gasy drove this boy back to his house
40:15forced him to engage in sexual acts with
40:17him and when he was done he just turned
40:19to the boy and he was like you can go
40:20now just let him free but then there was
40:23quite the turn of events allegedly so we
40:26don't know if this is exactly how this
40:28went but allegedly this young boy that
40:31had just been raped by gasy turned to
40:33him and he told gasy that he was going
40:35to go to the police about it but gayy
40:38could stop him going to the police if he
40:41gave him some money so he blackmailed
40:44gayy but gayy refused to give over a
40:47single penny he wasn't going to pay this
40:49boy and so as promised the boy went to
40:51the police station told them everything
40:54and John Wayne gasy was invited in for
40:56an interview but in this interview gasy
40:59told the police about the blackmailing
41:02so he didn't tell them the whole story
41:04of course he couldn't otherwise he would
41:06have to tell police that he did rape the
41:08boy but he told police that the boy was
41:11blackmailing him but he twisted the
41:12story he basically said that the kid
41:14wanted money out of gasi and the kid was
41:18willing to ruin gas's life over it if he
41:21didn't give him any money and so that's
41:23where these false accusations came from
41:25at least that's what gasy said to the
41:27police so now the kid wasn't seen as a
41:30credible Source they couldn't believe
41:32the story that he told them about the
41:34sexual assault and so again the case was
41:37just dropped gasy has done this twice
41:40sexually assaulted two teenage boys and
41:42somehow both of the cases have been
41:44dropped and because both of these
41:47accusations were dropped the Iowa parole
41:50board didn't hear about either of the
41:52cases either of the accusations they had
41:55no idea that gasy was was still
41:57offending still being accused of the
42:00same crimes while he was on probation
42:02they thought that he was doing really
42:03well and that he was getting back to a
42:05normal life after prison and because he
42:08seemed to be a changed man in the eyes
42:10of the parole board who didn't actually
42:12know anything um in a month's time once
42:15his probation was over they were like
42:17cool seems like John Wayne gas's a
42:19normal guy now he can he can just go out
42:21into the world so not only has his
42:24probation ended and he's got off scotf
42:26free but also at the end of his
42:28probation they decided to wipe his
42:31criminal record completely for some
42:34reason I don't know why they would do
42:36that so now there was no record of him
42:39ever being a sexual predator he would be
42:42allowed to apply for any job that he
42:43wanted he his past cannot hold him back
42:47at all there is no record of it there's
42:49only record you know for the police on
42:51their systems and whatever but he
42:53doesn't have to disclose the fact that
42:55he is a predator to any anyone now but
42:58that didn't stop like the rumors and
43:01stuff in that area everyone knew that
43:04there was something weird about gase and
43:05they'd seen police outside his house and
43:08even his own mother at this point in
43:10time was sick of all the trouble that
43:12gase was causing police were always at
43:14the house he was always doing court
43:16trials and she was always being called
43:18into the station cuz she needed to be
43:20interviewed as his mother and it got to
43:23the point where she actually offered her
43:25son money to move out out of the house
43:27and leave her alone and gladly he
43:30accepted cuz he didn't want to live with
43:32his mom anymore but money was his issue
43:34he couldn't afford to move out so he
43:36accepted that money and used it to put
43:38down a deposit on a brand new house for
43:41himself it was a ranch style house in a
43:44small town called Cook County in
43:46Illinois and this was like a brand new
43:49start for John Wayne gey and you know
43:50what he's like whenever he has a brand
43:52new start he always reaches rock bottom
43:54and then has a brand new start and
43:55somehow manages to build himself an even
43:58better reputation than the one that he
44:00had before and that's exactly what he
44:02did he starts making friends with all
44:04his new neighbors he's mooching he's
44:06socializing he is offering out free
44:09favors left right and Center he's like
44:11mowing people's Lawns shoveling snow for
44:14them off their driveways doing things
44:16for free making everyone love him and
44:19every year he would host huge parties at
44:22his house on his land cuz he had a lot
44:23of land and he would invite like
44:26hundreds of people everyone who was
44:27anyone was at John Wayne gas's parties
44:30even like politicians like very
44:32respected people in those areas people
44:34looked forward to these parties they
44:36loved them they loved John and after a
44:39little while of having his life back
44:41together gasi actually ended up moving
44:44his mother back in with him cuz she was
44:46getting older and after her husband died
44:49she was all alone um so yeah now that
44:51he'd calmed down and seemingly stopped
44:54committing crimes for a little while he
44:56moved it back in and it was actually
44:57around this time that gasy met the next
45:00love of his life a woman named Carol
45:03Hoff actually I say met but the two of
45:06them had actually known each other for a
45:08very very long time in fact they dated
45:11briefly in high school but things didn't
45:13really work out and they just went
45:14separate ways so now when gasy was like
45:1730 31 they reconnected and rekindled
45:21their romance they'd both since high
45:24school gone on and had their own lives
45:26they'd married had kids both of them had
45:29ended up divorcing and now they were
45:31both single in time to meet each other
45:33in their 30s and they really got on they
45:35got on like a house on fire the two of
45:37them actually ended up getting married
45:40and Carol moved into his ranch home and
45:43moved her two daughters in as well so
45:45now they were like a little bit of a
45:46family and also around the same time
45:49gasy set himself up his own business he
45:53became a contractor doing loads of stuff
45:57loads of like random little jobs like
45:58building jobs landscaping jobs gardening
46:01jobs any little like manual labor thing
46:04that the town's people needed doing he
46:06would do it I actually have a list of
46:08all the jobs that he did he was a he was
46:10a jack of all trades he did painting
46:12decorating maintenance repairs
46:14landscaping and that's it that's all
46:16I've got on my list but that's a lot and
46:18he was booked and busy with this job
46:21obviously cuz all the towns people loved
46:22him he was a very very popular man where
46:24he lived now and so this is the the kind
46:27of job that does well with like word
46:28word of mouth and like um
46:30recommendations and stuff so he was
46:33booked he was quickly earning a lot of
46:35money like almost as much money as he
46:37was earning as a KFC manager and this
46:40made him very very happy eventually he
46:42became so booked and busy that he had to
46:45start hiring other employees to like
46:47help him out do jobs with him or do
46:50other jobs at the same time as him
46:51because he couldn't be in two places at
46:53once and he was getting like he had so
46:56much demand but surprise surprise many
46:59of these employees well if not all of
47:01these employees that he was hiring were
47:04teenage boys and history repeated itself
47:08in exactly the way that you might
47:10imagine he would invite these employees
47:12round to his house out of hours get them
47:15drunk and proposition them for sex this
47:18would often be in return for money or
47:21even promotions or like extra work extra
47:24jobs if they would have sex with and
47:27sometimes the boys would oblige because
47:30they wanted these promotions they wanted
47:32the money and in the cases where they
47:35would still turn him down John Wayne
47:37gasey would find other ways to make them
47:41comply he would make up some random
47:44reason as to why his employee might owe
47:47him money a lot of money it would
47:49usually be a very high figure that the
47:51boy wouldn't be able to pay off and when
47:53the boy the employee would start
47:55panicking saying like oh I don't have
47:57that kind of money I can't pay you back
47:59John Wayne gasy would say oh don't worry
48:02you can repair in sexual favors instead
48:06and some of these boys were as young as
48:0814 years old being forced into having
48:12sex with this 30s something year old man
48:15and if the boys still tried to turn him
48:17down even after the whole debt thing
48:19then gase would remind them that he
48:22owned a lot of guns and he wasn't afraid
48:25to use them one occasion he said to one
48:28of his victims do you know how easy it
48:30would be for me to get one of my guns
48:32and kill you how easy it would be to get
48:34rid of the body and in the end these
48:36boys would always say yes to whatever
48:39gase wanted which is so sad that he went
48:42to such lengths to threaten them into
48:45submission literally threatening to kill
48:48them if they wouldn't have sex with him
48:50in
48:511973 gasey was contracted to do some
48:53work all the way in Florida which was
48:56like an 8 18-hour drive away from where
48:58he lived and he couldn't do this job in
49:01Florida alone he needed to bring another
49:04employee along with him it was a Twan
49:05job so gasy picked one of his um teenage
49:09boy employees and without telling this
49:12boy gasy booked them a hotel over in
49:15Florida for a few days but they didn't
49:18have a bedroom each they didn't even
49:20have a bed each they would be sharing a
49:23double bed a teenage boy and his 30s
49:26something year old old boss when they
49:27got to Florida and they got to this
49:29hotel room the boy walked in and saw one
49:33double bed and he was very shocked but
49:35he didn't say anything because he didn't
49:38want to I don't know he didn't want to
49:39be a pin he didn't want to cause
49:41problems you know he was just going to
49:42sleep in the bed it was only for a few
49:44nights and then they would be home but
49:46on their first night in that hotel room
49:49John Wayne gase's intentions became very
49:52clear and he raped his young employee
49:56the next morning when they woke up gy
50:00just acted as if nothing happened he got
50:03ready for work told his employee to get
50:05ready for work and then the two of them
50:07went out and did the job that they were
50:08contracted to be there for they didn't
50:10talk about it no one mentioned it and
50:13they just they just carried on as if
50:15nothing had happened and like I said
50:16they were there in Florida for a few
50:18days they were meeting up with the
50:21client and you know they were seeing
50:23people speaking to people and this whole
50:25time the employee didn't say a word
50:28about what was going on in their hotel
50:30room to anyone he was terrified of gasy
50:33for so many different reasons as well
50:35one he'd obviously already raped him
50:37once and he can do it again he also
50:40threatened to use guns several times
50:42with his employees so he was scared of
50:45losing his life and on top of that there
50:47was the fact that gasy could have
50:48literally just left this boy in Florida
50:5118 hours away from home he could have
50:53just left him there all alone gase was
50:55his ride home home so he had to be nice
50:58to him so this employee said nothing the
51:02whole time they were in Florida he just
51:04kept his head down and just waited to
51:06get home eventually they finished up
51:08this job in Florida and went back to
51:09Chicago and the very next day this
51:12employee was ready to get his revenge on
51:15John Wayne gy the employee stormed over
51:18to G's house met him outside and in
51:21front of his new wife Carol and her two
51:24kids he beat up John Wayne gy hard and
51:29Carol was so confused with what was
51:31going on she knew that that was his
51:33employee and she knew that that was the
51:35one that he'd just gone to Florida with
51:36so now she was so confused why they were
51:39in an argument as far as she was aware
51:41they'd just gone done the job everything
51:42was fine and they came home so when the
51:44boy eventually left and gasy came back
51:47inside all bloody and beaten she starts
51:49asking him all these questions like what
51:51the hell went on on that business trip
51:53and gey pretty much just told his wife
51:56that while they were away in Florida he
51:58and his employee had gotten into a bit
51:59of a fight because he felt as though his
52:02employee wasn't working hard enough and
52:04so he wasn't going to give his employee
52:07his full cut of the money and so the
52:09employee was mad that he wasn't going to
52:10get paided enough and so that was why he
52:13beat him up and Carol just accepted it
52:15she never knew the real reason why that
52:18happened and that was kind of the end of
52:20that as far as I'm aware I don't think
52:22that employee went to the police about
52:24it although he did distance himself from
52:27the company he did still work for gasy
52:29occasionally because he needed the money
52:32but he hated gayy of course he he didn't
52:35want to see him he didn't want to go
52:36near him he would only accept Jobs when
52:38he was desperate for money when John
52:40Wayne gasi was 33 years old he finally
52:43came out to his wife as bisexual and I
52:48think his wife was pretty chill about it
52:50as far as I could read up on but later
52:52that same night the two of them had sex
52:55and when they were done G he turned to
52:57her and said we're never doing that
52:59again that's the last time we're ever
53:00going to do that he said he still wanted
53:02to be with her he he still liked her he
53:04still wanted to be married to her and
53:06live with her and whatever but he didn't
53:08want to have sex with her he said that
53:09it made him uncomfortable he didn't
53:11enjoy it so he wasn't going to do it
53:13anymore and from this point on gasy
53:16started going on a lot more work trips
53:19and he was going out with his employees
53:21a lot and not coming home the same night
53:25and Carol knew what was was going on
53:27like she wasn't stupid she knew that her
53:30husband was cheating on her with other
53:33men mainly his employees but she didn't
53:36say anything about it for a while I
53:38think because she didn't have any proof
53:40she was waiting to get some proof though
53:41so Carol starts spying on her husband
53:45whenever he would go out with his with
53:47his employees on a night or like he
53:49would go out on a business trip she
53:51would wait up for him to return and she
53:54would watch out of the window and every
53:57time he would return home it would be
54:00with a younger boy a teenage boy and he
54:03thought that his wife would just be
54:04asleep at this point so he wasn't really
54:07trying to hide it he would just bring
54:09these boys home get out of the car with
54:10them they would usually go into the
54:12garage cuz he had like he'd like set up
54:15the garage as his like little man cave
54:19you know so Carol would watch as gasy
54:21and these boys went into the garage and
54:23then a few hours later he would come and
54:26CW into bed next to her as if nothing
54:28had happened so now she knew that
54:30something was up and she needed more
54:33proof and so her next move was to go
54:36into that garage and see what evidence
54:38she could find she wanted to know what
54:41her husband and these young boys were
54:43getting up to in that garage I think she
54:45already knew but she needed proof like I
54:48said so she went in there and she found
54:51Stacks and stacks and stacks of gay por
54:54magazines she even found a couple of
54:56boys IDs just like laying around in the
55:00garage and these IDs of course all had
55:02the boys birthdays on which told her
55:05just how young a lot of her husband's
55:08friends were teenagers Carol ended up
55:12confronting her husband about this and
55:14they argued and argued and argued
55:17repeatedly for months about this carol
55:20wasn't going to let it go and gasy
55:22somehow had a rebuttal for every
55:25argument that she had had she could
55:27never win these arguments against him
55:29and eventually gasi had had enough of
55:32her getting on his back about it
55:34essentially and he suggested that they
55:36just get a divorce if she so bothered
55:39about him cheating on her with children
55:42then they should just get a divorce
55:43Carol agreed that this wasn't the
55:46marriage that she wanted nor was it the
55:48marriage that she thought she was
55:50getting herself into a couple of years
55:52ago and so she packed her things took
55:54her two daughters and left after his
55:57wife left John Wayne gasi threw himself
56:00into his work I mean he'd already been
56:03working like 12-hour days before this
56:06but now he was working 15 hour days
56:08literally the only time he stopped was
56:10to sleep or to drink he barely even
56:14noticed his wife's absence in his life
56:17she really towards the end of that
56:19relationship he barely even saw her
56:22barely even spoke to her so it was as if
56:24nothing really changed that same year
56:27John Wayne gasy decided that it was time
56:29for something new in his life and one
56:32thing about that man he loved a good
56:34club a good organization a good group of
56:39men that he could be a part of and so he
56:41went out and he found himself a new club
56:44and that was when he was made aware of a
56:46new club that was going on in town it
56:48was called the Jolly Joker club and this
56:51was a group of men that would try to
56:53help out the community they would do
56:56fundraising they would go help out at
56:59Children's Hospitals they would do
57:01children's parties for free all while
57:04dressed up as clowns and clowns in this
57:08day and age in 2022 they are horrifying
57:11they are creepy they are you know they
57:13have so many negative connotations
57:15because of like horror movies and stuff
57:17but at this point in time in the
57:191970s everyone loved a good clown they
57:22they were at all the kids birthday
57:24parties they were they were quite normal
57:26so yeah John way gasy joined the Jolly
57:29Joker club and he became a clown um and
57:33he set himself up like two little
57:35characters he had one character named
57:38Pergo the clown which was the one that
57:39he used more often than not and Pogo was
57:43just a typical clown he was he was Jolly
57:46he was Good Vibes he was funny he was
57:48silly but then he had his other
57:50character named patches and patches was
57:54the complete opposite of perger patches
57:56was very serious he was very almost
57:59depressed kind of miserable he was a bit
58:02of a mpy clown so you can already tell
58:05that gasy is taking this clown stuff
58:08very very seriously he has planned
58:10himself out two different characters
58:12with two different personalities two
58:13different looks he is really into this
58:16clown stuff already he would spend all
58:19of his spare time thinking about his new
58:22clown hobby he would design new outfits
58:24sew them up he would think about
58:27different face paint uh designs that he
58:30could do and one of the main things that
58:32he loved about being a clown in the
58:35Jolly Joker's Club is that it allowed
58:37him to regress back into his childhood I
58:40think that's how he put it and that he
58:43never really had a childhood when he was
58:46younger because he was always so badly
58:48abused by his father that now he felt
58:51that he could finally like live out that
58:54lost childhood as an adult and gase
58:57loved being a clown so much that he
59:00would do all of his clown work for free
59:02I mean he didn't need any more money he
59:05was very very rich with his contracting
59:07business it was very big now he had a
59:09lot of employees under him that he was
59:12earning money through as well he didn't
59:14need any extra money and he just loved
59:16being a clown so he would just go out
59:17and do it for free he would go to kids
59:19hospitals cheer up the kids on the ward
59:22he would do birthday parties for free
59:24and it also gave everyone else in the
59:26town just another reason to love John
59:28way and gase because he was doing all
59:30their kids parties for free just oh just
59:33another thing that gase is doing for the
59:34community he would shovel the snow he
59:36would mow The Lawns he would be the
59:39clown at the party he was you know he
59:41was a full package so he's doing this
59:43clown gig for a couple of hours a week
59:45but like I said he was working a lot
59:47like 15 hour days some days he did not
59:50have much spare time and that was what
59:53he wanted he wanted to free up more time
59:55for sing around I guess so he starts
59:58hiring on a lot more employees like a
1:00:00lot a lot and they're obviously all
1:00:03young teenage boys and one of the next
1:00:06employees that he hired was a
1:00:0815-year-old boy named Anthony antonucci
1:00:11two months into working for gasy Anthony
1:00:14called in sick one morning and said that
1:00:17he'd really injured his ankle the day
1:00:19before on his shift the day before and
1:00:21so today he wasn't going to be able to
1:00:23go in and work so gy was like oh you
1:00:25know hope you're okay I'll pop around
1:00:27later with a little get well soon gift
1:00:30so Anthony antonucci is home alone when
1:00:32gasy knocks on his door with the get
1:00:35well soon gift a bottle of alcohol for a
1:00:3815-year-old boy gy insisted that Anthony
1:00:41let him in and the two of them share the
1:00:44bottle of alcohol and obviously Anthony
1:00:46said yes I mean he didn't want to
1:00:47disappoint his boss so yeah this young
1:00:49boy this I think this was like the first
1:00:52time we'd ever had alcohol so he got
1:00:54pretty wasted pretty quickly and as the
1:00:57two of them were drinking gasy pulled
1:00:59out another gift for Anthony from his
1:01:02bag a porn magazine and Anthony had
1:01:05never seen porn before it was a it was
1:01:09like a what are they VHS tip and so
1:01:12gasey went and put on the movie for them
1:01:14and they sat and watched it and they
1:01:16finished this bottle of alcohol and when
1:01:18they did it was very clear that Anthony
1:01:21was very very intoxicated and so gasy
1:01:24knew that now it was was time for him to
1:01:26put his full plan into action he reached
1:01:29down into his bag and pulled out some
1:01:32handcuffs he turned to Anthony grabbed
1:01:35both of his hands shoved them behind his
1:01:37back and handcuffed him so he couldn't
1:01:39move he couldn't run away gayy didn't
1:01:42say a word to Anthony he didn't tell him
1:01:45why he'd just done that but gayy stood
1:01:47up and went outside to his car he must
1:01:50have forgotten something in his car but
1:01:52what he didn't realize was that Anthony
1:01:54wasn't actually
1:01:56fully like handcuffed one of the Cuffs
1:02:00hadn't closed properly so Anthony was
1:02:02able to undo that one so now he wasn't
1:02:05bound really he just had like floppy
1:02:07handcuffs on one of his wrists but
1:02:09quickly Anthony came up with a plan he
1:02:11knew that when gasy returned he had to
1:02:15still look like he was handcuffed he
1:02:16didn't want gasy to be suspicious and so
1:02:18he stayed there even though he was free
1:02:20he stayed there with his hands behind
1:02:22his back when gy returned to the room
1:02:24Anthony stayed with his hands behind his
1:02:27back until gayy came and stood about
1:02:29here and once he was close enough
1:02:32Anthony attacked he grabbed gase's legs
1:02:36and completely flipped him in the air in
1:02:38some sort of like wrestling move and
1:02:40once gasy was down on the floor Anthony
1:02:42kept hold of his legs so he couldn't go
1:02:44anywhere gase was like trying to wriggle
1:02:46trying to get up but he couldn't move
1:02:48and Anthony was rumaging around in his
1:02:50pockets and eventually he found the key
1:02:53to the other side of the handcuffs he
1:02:55unlocked Ed his other hand from them so
1:02:57now he was fully free from these
1:02:59handcuffs and then somehow this
1:03:0115-year-old boy managed to wrestle this
1:03:0430 something year old fully grown man
1:03:07into the handcuffs and locked him in
1:03:10them he managed to handcuff John Wayne
1:03:12gasy his
1:03:14attacker and and he was just laid on the
1:03:17floor and the whole time gasy is
1:03:19screaming at him threatening him to
1:03:21unlock him from those handcuffs or he
1:03:22was going to kill him but Anthony knew
1:03:24that he was safe as long as those
1:03:26handcuffs were locked and so he just
1:03:29stood back he just stood back and waited
1:03:31for John Wayne gasy to come down
1:03:34eventually when gasey stopped screaming
1:03:37the two of them had a conversation for I
1:03:39think a couple of hours they were
1:03:41talking about this for a while and by
1:03:43the end of the conversation gasy seemed
1:03:45very embarrassed and remorseful and he
1:03:49promised Anthony that if he just
1:03:51unlocked him just took the handcuffs off
1:03:54him then he would leave and he wouldn't
1:03:56cause any more issues and Anthony
1:03:58believed him so he unlocked the
1:04:00handcuffs and gasy stuck to his word he
1:04:03got up and he left but then Anthony had
1:04:06to see gayy at work every day that was
1:04:10his boss and actually gy kept
1:04:13referencing what had gone on between
1:04:16them at work it's almost as if he
1:04:18thought it was some sort of like flirty
1:04:21little inside joke between the two of
1:04:23them he would say things like not only
1:04:25are you you the one who got out of the
1:04:27Cuffs you got them on me and you can see
1:04:29the complete disconnect from his actions
1:04:32there especially in that statement this
1:04:34is a 15-year-old child that you
1:04:38handcuffed in order to do some heinous
1:04:40things to him probably traumatized him
1:04:43to his car and now you just dropping
1:04:47flirty little teasing little comments
1:04:49about it during the work day not only
1:04:51that but that comment there suggested
1:04:53that Anthony wasn't the first first and
1:04:56only person that gayy had done this to
1:04:58and he certainly wouldn't be the last
1:05:01either gasey then laid low again for
1:05:03about a year until July of 1976 when he
1:05:07was driving down the highway one day
1:05:09when he passed a hitchhiker and decided
1:05:12to pick him up this hitchhiker was an
1:05:1418-year-old boy named David crra I
1:05:16believe David was a runaway although I'm
1:05:19not entirely sure but either way as the
1:05:21two of them were driving they got
1:05:22talking got to know each other and David
1:05:25mentioned that he needed a job and Casey
1:05:29just lit up at the thought of this
1:05:31immediately he's like oh I have a
1:05:33contracting company come work with us we
1:05:35need more employees boys exactly like
1:05:37you strong boys that can do this this
1:05:39and that D and David thought this was
1:05:42amazing he was literally being offered a
1:05:44job on a silver platter by some guy that
1:05:46seemed really helpful really kind and so
1:05:49yeah David took the job they worked
1:05:51together for about a month um and as
1:05:53gayy was getting to know David CR more
1:05:55and more he realized that he didn't have
1:05:57anywhere to stay and so gasey actually
1:06:00offered David cram one of the spare
1:06:02bedrooms in his house cuz he had a few
1:06:05now that his wife and kids had left
1:06:07David happily agreed to move in because
1:06:09this guy seemed like Jesus right now he
1:06:13had offered him a job a place to stay
1:06:15this guy was sorting him right out so
1:06:17yeah David moved in a day before his
1:06:2019th birthday and so the night that he
1:06:22moved in the two of them decided to
1:06:24celebrate and they got really really
1:06:26really drunk and actually for for David
1:06:30K's birthday John Wayne gasy decided to
1:06:33dress up as Pogo the clown cuz what's a
1:06:35birthday without a clown a 19th birthday
1:06:38as well once the two of them were really
1:06:40really drunk GC once again reached for
1:06:43his handcuffs and handcuffed David's
1:06:45hands in front of him this time and then
1:06:48he grabbed the chin between the cuffs
1:06:52and started swinging David around the
1:06:54room by by the chain of the handcuffs
1:06:57immediately David didn't like this he
1:06:59was screaming he was begging gasy to
1:07:01stop but gasey just responded by telling
1:07:04David that he was going to rape him and
1:07:06this must have sent like a shock of
1:07:09adrenaline through David's body and
1:07:11somehow he got the strength to pull away
1:07:14from gasy and kick him in the face and
1:07:17this was a pretty hard kick as well like
1:07:19gase went flying across the room and he
1:07:23was like down on the floor giving David
1:07:25enough time to run over rummage through
1:07:28his pockets and find the key for the
1:07:30handcuffs he managed to get the
1:07:31handcuffs off of his hands gayy at this
1:07:34point wasn't trying to like I don't know
1:07:37chase after him or get him back or
1:07:39anything David took the handcuffs off
1:07:41and just went to bed in his separate
1:07:44bedroom where he lived in gas's house
1:07:46and that was that for the evening he
1:07:49David was forced to sleep in the same
1:07:51house as this man that had just
1:07:53threatened to rape him he had no other
1:07:55Choice he had nowhere else to go he just
1:07:57had to kind of hope that gase wasn't
1:08:00going to try again and David stayed
1:08:01living there as well after that night he
1:08:05he tried to like stay out of gas's way
1:08:08most of the time um but yeah I think
1:08:11they just kind of carried on as if
1:08:13nothing happened about a month after
1:08:16that incident so they hadn't really
1:08:18talked about it again after that but a
1:08:20month later in the middle of the night
1:08:22David cram woke up to see gay standing
1:08:26in his doorway and he said to him Dave
1:08:29you really don't know who I am maybe it
1:08:31would be good if you gave me what I want
1:08:33he then tried to rape David cram for a
1:08:36second time but David fought back
1:08:39managed to get gasy down on the floor
1:08:41and pinned him down until he calmed down
1:08:44and promised that he wouldn't do
1:08:46anything once he felt like he was no
1:08:48longer in danger David got off of gasy
1:08:51like un unpinned him down what's the
1:08:54word for that anyway he got off off him
1:08:56and as gasy left the room he turned to
1:08:58David and said you ain't no fun and
1:09:00after this second attempt David knew
1:09:03that he could not live or work with John
1:09:05Wayne gy anymore he just couldn't it was
1:09:08too dangerous so the next morning David
1:09:10cram left and he went to go and live and
1:09:12work somewhere else but gasy didn't see
1:09:15this as a loss exactly in fact he saw it
1:09:18as an opportunity to get a new lodger in
1:09:21the house so he moved another one of his
1:09:24employees into the house this time it
1:09:26was 18-year-old Michael Rossy uh yeah he
1:09:29moved into David cram's old bedroom and
1:09:31weirdly enough gy actually got Michael
1:09:34Rossy to join the Jolly Jokers Club as
1:09:37well so not only is this guy his
1:09:40employee his roommate and also now his
1:09:43clown friend they were out doing clown
1:09:45stuff together we don't actually have
1:09:47many details about Michael rossy's time
1:09:50living with John Wayne gasy although we
1:09:52can imagine it was probably quite
1:09:54similar to David Kon and I just want to
1:09:56take a moment right now to like step
1:09:59back and remind you exactly who John
1:10:01Wayne gasy is or who he seems to be to
1:10:05the rest of the community cuz we've been
1:10:06talking about all the horrible things
1:10:08that he does but bear in mind the
1:10:11neighborhood doesn't know about any of
1:10:13that to them he was this great guy that
1:10:17worked hard super successful huge
1:10:20contracting business like the
1:10:22contracting business in that area he was
1:10:25the guy that you went to if you needed
1:10:26something doing he was so well respected
1:10:30so well known he would have been a
1:10:32millionaire in today's money probably a
1:10:35multi-millionaire by the end of the case
1:10:37I'm pretty sure he was powerful he was
1:10:39Untouchable no one could go against him
1:10:42he had political connections he had he
1:10:44had politician friends gy was very very
1:10:47good at manipulating and persuading
1:10:49people and he was seen as a great guy
1:10:52very charitable he would do all the
1:10:53clown stuff in children's hospitals for
1:10:55free everyone loved him so no one
1:10:59expected that he would be doing all of
1:11:01this heinous stuff behind closed doors
1:11:05and I think that's one of the main
1:11:07reasons why he was able to get away with
1:11:09all of this for so long because people
1:11:11just couldn't believe any like little
1:11:14suspicions that they had people would
1:11:16just talk themselves out of it like oh
1:11:18no of course not John Wayne gasy he's
1:11:20he's a great guy he would never do that
1:11:23in
1:11:231978 John Wayne gase he was about 36
1:11:27years old at this point and he had
1:11:30another client this time it was a
1:11:32pharmacy owner and he was called there
1:11:34to this Pharmacy to talk about
1:11:36remodeling it and while he was at this
1:11:38Pharmacy he clocked the young boy that
1:11:41was working at the cashier 15-year-old
1:11:44Robert priest and immediately gase was
1:11:46taken with this young boy and so he
1:11:49started planning how he was going to get
1:11:53him while speaking to the store manager
1:11:55gasey started talking loud enough that
1:11:58he knew that Robert priest at the
1:12:00cashier would be able to hear him and he
1:12:02starts like bragging gasey asked the
1:12:05pharmacy guy about like wages and how
1:12:08much he pays his staff and when the guy
1:12:10responded gasy seemed so shocked and
1:12:13horrified and he was like what what do
1:12:15you mean I pay my workers like five
1:12:18times that which of course sparked young
1:12:21Robert priest's interest in the
1:12:23conversation at about 9 p.m. that night
1:12:26Robert priest's mother came to pick him
1:12:27up from his work and Robert ran outside
1:12:30with his coat he seemed super excited
1:12:32and he said to his mom some contractor
1:12:34wants to talk to me about a job and so
1:12:37his mom was like okay go go go talk to
1:12:40him and she agreed to wait outside in
1:12:42her car for her son to come back she
1:12:44waited about 15 minutes and Robert
1:12:46wasn't coming back and actually it was
1:12:48her birthday that day his mom's birthday
1:12:51and they were all planning to have like
1:12:52a family meal when they got home and so
1:12:55she was getting a bit impatient and
1:12:56eventually she got out of the car and
1:12:58went inside the pharmacy to go and find
1:13:00her son but when she got
1:13:02inside he wasn't there in fact no one
1:13:05was the pharmacy was completely empty
1:13:07and so she went back out into the car
1:13:09park and she's like running around
1:13:10looking for her son but he is nowhere to
1:13:13be found so now panicked beyond belief
1:13:17his mother red home and spent the rest
1:13:19of her birthday filling out a missing
1:13:22person's report for her young son so
1:13:24police got straight on the case starting
1:13:27obviously at the pharmacy where he was
1:13:29last seen they went there they spoke to
1:13:31the star manager and of course because
1:13:33of the conversation that Robert had had
1:13:35with his mom saying that he was going to
1:13:36go speak to a contractor police asked
1:13:39the store owner if they knew anything
1:13:41about a contractor of course he did he'd
1:13:44been speaking to John Wayne gasey all
1:13:46day so he gave over the name John Wayne
1:13:48gasy so the police officers that were
1:13:51put on Robert's missing person's case
1:13:53right from the beginning they thought
1:13:55that he had been abducted that was the
1:13:58main Theory and of course this
1:14:00contractor seemed like the top suspect
1:14:03so police got looking into this
1:14:05contractor this John Wayne gasey they
1:14:07typed his name in on their little police
1:14:09system and even though his criminal
1:14:11record was white it was obviously still
1:14:14available to police so they typed in his
1:14:16name and they found all these previous
1:14:20convictions and accusations of sexual
1:14:22assault against children and as soon as
1:14:25they saw that they knew they had to be
1:14:27on the right track I mean the victim in
1:14:29his previous conviction was around the
1:14:32same age Donald VES was 15 and so was
1:14:35Robert priest this was his exact victim
1:14:38type and so once they saw this a full
1:14:41investigation was launched into John
1:14:43Wayne gasey so police found gase's
1:14:46address on the system and they went
1:14:47straight to his house to go and speak to
1:14:49him and the conversation started off
1:14:52well to be honest gasy admitted that he
1:14:54had been at the pharmacy that day and
1:14:56that he had seen Robert priest in the
1:14:59pharmacy but he denied ever speaking to
1:15:01him in fact his full story was that he
1:15:04didn't speak to anyone other than the
1:15:06star owner while he was there he said he
1:15:08went into the pharmacy spoke to the star
1:15:10owner about the remodeling and then left
1:15:12straight away like didn't do anything
1:15:14else didn't dilly dally just that he did
1:15:17say that a couple of hours after he left
1:15:19he realized that he' left his notebook
1:15:22at the pharmacy and so he drove back to
1:15:24the pharmacy
1:15:25picked up the notebook again only spoke
1:15:27to the store manager literally just said
1:15:29Hi and then left again but police
1:15:32weren't very satisfied with gas's
1:15:35version of events here and so they asked
1:15:36him if he would come back to the police
1:15:38station with him for like a proper
1:15:40official interview but gasy actually
1:15:43refused and I mean he was allowed to do
1:15:47that because he wasn't arrested but it
1:15:49doesn't look good does it he actually
1:15:51told police that his uncle had passed
1:15:53away that morning and so his family
1:15:56actually really needed him right now um
1:15:59so police wer exactly going to force him
1:16:01to come down for a questioning on the
1:16:02same day that his uncle died in fact
1:16:04gayy did tell them that he would stop by
1:16:06at the police station later on but like
1:16:09right now he needed to be with his
1:16:10family so police were like okay cool uh
1:16:13what time do you think you can come down
1:16:15to the police station and when they
1:16:17asked that gasy got a little bit pissed
1:16:19off he snapped at the officers saying
1:16:21you guys are very rude don't you have
1:16:23any respect for the Dead dead and then
1:16:25he told them to leave his house gayy
1:16:27eventually did make his way to the
1:16:29police station in the early hours of the
1:16:31morning weirdly enough he turned up at
1:16:33the police station at like 2:30 a.m. and
1:16:36he was covered in mud for some reason
1:16:38police asked him what had happened like
1:16:40why he was covered in mud and gase said
1:16:42that he'd been in a car accident but he
1:16:44didn't want to talk about it and he was
1:16:46okay odd so police just kind of Let It
1:16:49Go I mean they just let him be weird
1:16:52because really all they cared about was
1:16:5415-year-old Robert priest they wanted to
1:16:55know where he was they didn't care why
1:16:57he was covered in mud so they asked gasy
1:17:00to reiterate his whole story exactly
1:17:03what he'd done that day and he told the
1:17:05exact same story again that he went to
1:17:06the pharmacy only spoke to the store
1:17:08owner left forgot his diary went back
1:17:11only spoke to the store owner and left
1:17:14again so police asked gasy like oh how
1:17:16did you know that you'd left your
1:17:18notebook at the pharmacy and not
1:17:20somewhere else not at like one of your
1:17:21other appointments and gasy said that it
1:17:24was because the the store owner had
1:17:26actually called him up and been like oh
1:17:28you left your notebook I've got your
1:17:29notebook and immediately police knew
1:17:31that this was a lie because the star
1:17:34owner had told them that he hadn't
1:17:36spoken to gasey since he left so it
1:17:39seems that gasy actually came back for
1:17:42his diary off his own accord but why did
1:17:45he have to lie why did he have to tell
1:17:48police that the star owner had called
1:17:51him when he hadn't but police didn't let
1:17:53on to gase that that they knew that he
1:17:55was lying right now they just kind of
1:17:57let him keep lying and they let him lie
1:17:59in his statement as well they let him
1:18:02leave the police station that night
1:18:04thinking that he was in the clear
1:18:06thinking that no one was suspicious of
1:18:07him that he had just told his story and
1:18:09everything was fine but of course this
1:18:11only made police a million times more
1:18:14suspicious the fact that he lied and it
1:18:16was a seemingly very
1:18:17small insignificant lie as well why do
1:18:21you need to lie about where your
1:18:22notebook is or how you realize that your
1:18:24notebook was
1:18:25lost you know odd thing to lie about
1:18:28unless it's connected to a bigger lie
1:18:30but to be fair that didn't matter right
1:18:32now because police thought that John
1:18:34Wayne gasy was an abductor and they
1:18:36thought that he probably had Robert
1:18:38priest back at his house so with this in
1:18:41mind police obtained a search warrant
1:18:43for John Wayne gas's house that they
1:18:45received two days after Robert priest
1:18:47went missing so they rocked up and
1:18:49knocked on gas's door completely
1:18:51unannounced with their search warrant in
1:18:53hand gasy had no time to prepare he had
1:18:56no time to hide anything he just had to
1:18:58let them in and let them search and this
1:19:01search was very revealing they found a
1:19:04lot of suspicious stuff and I just have
1:19:06a whole honker of a list here so I'm
1:19:08just going to read everything out they
1:19:10found a 6mm pistol several fake police
1:19:13badges with various different names on
1:19:16them several driving licenses belonging
1:19:18to different young men a high school
1:19:21ring from the class of 1975 engraved
1:19:24with the initials j s a syringe and a
1:19:28hypodermic needle a load of random drugs
1:19:31load of random recreational drugs
1:19:34hallucinogenics uh opiates I don't know
1:19:38Lads of random drugs they found
1:19:39handcuffs Nyon rope loads of different
1:19:42pornographic films they actually found
1:19:44two books with very similar story lines
1:19:47of like an older man falling for a a a a
1:19:52teenage boy like a boy that is not Le
1:19:55they found an 18in dildo uh underwear
1:19:59and a blue Parker coat both of which
1:20:02were too small to fit John Wayne gasy
1:20:04suggesting that they were someone else's
1:20:07and finally a receipt from the pharmacy
1:20:10where Robert priest worked was found in
1:20:13the jacket pocket that they found
1:20:15initially police were very very
1:20:17interested in that receipt because it
1:20:19seemingly proved that John Wayne gas's
1:20:21story was a lie he said that he had gone
1:20:24to the Pharmacy and only spoken to the
1:20:26star owner but if he had a receipt that
1:20:29proved that he had paid for something
1:20:31then surely that meant he would have
1:20:33spoken to the cashier and who was the
1:20:35cashier 15-year-old Robert priest so
1:20:38this only added to the suspicion against
1:20:40John Wayne gasy it seemed that he had
1:20:42lied a lot in his interview after this
1:20:45search police decided to look into gas's
1:20:48company his contracting company and all
1:20:50of his different employees and they
1:20:53actually found that one of his employees
1:20:54a young man named Charles hula had
1:20:57tragically passed away not long before
1:21:00this he was found drowned to death in a
1:21:03river and it's completely unknown how he
1:21:06got there how he drowned why he was
1:21:08there and now it just seemed very weird
1:21:12paired with the suspicious circumstances
1:21:14that they were investigating now and
1:21:17there was also another you know
1:21:19suspicious circumstance connected to
1:21:21gasi weird so police had seized all the
1:21:24items that I listed earlier that they
1:21:26found in his house and they were very
1:21:28interested in that High School ring with
1:21:31the initials J engraved on it who was J
1:21:35cuz it obviously wasn't John Wayne gy so
1:21:37again they looked into it they got in
1:21:38contact with the school and they like
1:21:41really analyzed this ring and they found
1:21:43that it belonged to a boy named John
1:21:45shik and at this point in time John shik
1:21:49was missing another weird suspicious
1:21:53circumstance relating to to John Wayne
1:21:55gy death tragedy and disappearance seem
1:21:58to just follow this man wherever he goes
1:22:01John shik's parents hadn't heard from
1:22:03him in weeks and they were so so worried
1:22:06about him so now that police are
1:22:07starting to piece together weird corners
1:22:10of gas's Life they're very very very
1:22:12suspicious about him and they decided to
1:22:15put him on 24hours surveillance they
1:22:18wanted to see what this man was up to in
1:22:20his day-to-day life and they needed to
1:22:22keep tabs on him in case tragedy death
1:22:24and disappearance kept following him and
1:22:27being under 24-hour surveillance very
1:22:30quickly irritated John Wayne gy it got
1:22:33under his skin somewhat shocking because
1:22:36he already HED the police for obvious
1:22:38reasons because they tried to put a stop
1:22:40to every awful thing that he did so
1:22:42obviously he didn't like them but he
1:22:44always felt like he was above the police
1:22:46he looked down on the police and he
1:22:48always thought that he could outdo them
1:22:50and so actually gasy went about this in
1:22:53quite an interesting way
1:22:55he decided to try and befriend the
1:22:58surveillance officers that were watching
1:23:00him he was super super friendly with
1:23:02them he would always go outside spark up
1:23:04conversation with them even invite them
1:23:06into his house for a drink which we they
1:23:09would more often than not well actually
1:23:11all the time they would turn it down
1:23:12because that's highly inappropriate to
1:23:15go for a drink in this guy's house who
1:23:17they think is a murderer probably a
1:23:19murderer in the end gasy got so miffed
1:23:22off with this 24-hour surveillance that
1:23:24he actually started accusing police of
1:23:28specifically targeting him due to his
1:23:31political affiliation I don't know
1:23:34though no one really believed it cuz
1:23:36there was there's there's evidence man
1:23:38there is evidence as to why they have
1:23:40you on surveillance because weird [ __ ]
1:23:43surrounds you it's not because you're a
1:23:46politician so yeah now gas is getting so
1:23:48miffed off with this surveillance that
1:23:51he starts like taking the piss with it
1:23:53he starts taking the mick out of these
1:23:55offices so he would like go and get in
1:23:57his car at random times during the night
1:24:00knowing that these police had to follow
1:24:02him wherever he went so he would just
1:24:04take him on Wild Goose chases he would
1:24:06do he would he would go wherever he
1:24:08wanted he would like try and swerve
1:24:09around and try and lose them and just
1:24:12generally try and make the surveillance
1:24:14officer's lives harder just cuz he could
1:24:17so as all of this surveillance stuff was
1:24:19going on the other police officers were
1:24:22trying to find any evidence that they
1:24:25possibly could against John Wayne gasy
1:24:27and so they were speaking to everyone in
1:24:29his life family well he didn't really
1:24:32have much family around him anymore did
1:24:33he but like people that used to be his
1:24:35family um employees and even people that
1:24:39he had rented out his bedrooms to
1:24:41although there was no rent involved his
1:24:44lodges you know the boys that he let
1:24:46sleep in his spare room first up was
1:24:48David cram the first of The Lodgers you
1:24:51know the hitch hiker that he picked up
1:24:53off the side of the road and then
1:24:54attempted to rape twice before David had
1:24:57to run away and leave the company
1:25:00because his boss kept trying to rape him
1:25:01at the time David had never reported
1:25:04either of those incidents but now that
1:25:06police had come to him and started
1:25:08asking about gasy he was willing to tell
1:25:10him every detail that he could remember
1:25:13on top of the multiple cases of
1:25:15attempted sexual assault David cram also
1:25:18remembered something else really weird
1:25:20about his time living at gas's house so
1:25:22one day David was just chilling in the
1:25:24house and gasy approached him and said
1:25:27that he had a gift for him he put his
1:25:29hand in his pocket and pulled out a
1:25:31watch and it was supposed to be like a
1:25:33bit of a jokey present because David
1:25:35Crown was really bad at timekeeping he
1:25:37was always late to things and so gasy
1:25:39was like look I got you a watch so you
1:25:41won't be late anymore so David laughed
1:25:43and he was like oh where did you get
1:25:44this from and gasey responded from a
1:25:47dead person David just thought it was
1:25:49like a really weird dark joke at the
1:25:52time but now that police had come to him
1:25:55because they thought that this guy was
1:25:57genuinely really dangerous David now
1:25:59thought back to that incident and
1:26:01thought Oh my God what if there was some
1:26:03truth in that what if he had actually
1:26:06stolen some Dead Guy watch but that
1:26:09wasn't the only thing that now seemed
1:26:11weird in retrospect David was
1:26:13remembering loads of weird stories about
1:26:15John Wayne gasey like for example one
1:26:17time when when the police came to search
1:26:20his house actually gasy wasn't there at
1:26:22the time but he came back to the house
1:26:25once the police had left and as soon as
1:26:27he walked in he saw mud all over the
1:26:31floors inside his house and this sent
1:26:33him into panic mode gasey went pale as a
1:26:37ghost because he feared that this mud
1:26:40all over the floor meant the police had
1:26:42found his secret trenches secret
1:26:47passageway under the house and this is
1:26:50when police learned right David cram sat
1:26:52there and told the police that that for
1:26:54months John Wayne gasy had him digging
1:26:57out trenches like underground passages
1:27:01underneath the house gy told David at
1:27:03the time that it was for like drainage
1:27:05or something I don't know he gave him
1:27:07quite a sound reason and David didn't
1:27:08think too much of it but the way that
1:27:11gasy panicked when he came back to the
1:27:13house suggested that those trenches were
1:27:16not for drainage and perhaps they had a
1:27:19much more Sinister reason for existing
1:27:22these underground trenches this like
1:27:24passageway is referred to in this case
1:27:27as the crawl space so if I keep calling
1:27:29it the crawl space those are the
1:27:31trenches that David cram and actually
1:27:33someone else dug but we'll get there in
1:27:35a minute so yeah as soon as gasy came
1:27:37back that day and he saw this mud all
1:27:39over the house he flipped out panicked
1:27:41and had to go and check the crawl space
1:27:44for evidence of digging because he
1:27:46needed to see if the police had gone
1:27:48there but when gasey returned from the
1:27:50crawl spaces afterwards David cram said
1:27:53that he seemed significantly calmer so
1:27:55he must not have found any evidence of
1:27:57digging I guess police had no idea about
1:28:00this crawl space these passageways
1:28:02underneath the house David crra telling
1:28:05them this was the first they'd ever
1:28:07heard of this they they hadn't found
1:28:09them by themselves they had no idea they
1:28:11existed and that was everything that
1:28:12David cram could really tell police
1:28:14about John Wayne gasy he told them about
1:28:16all his personal incidents that he had
1:28:18with him and some other super weird
1:28:21stuff as well so now police were even
1:28:23more eager to speak to the other lodger
1:28:26that gase had had in his house before
1:28:29Michael Rossy and Michael had some very
1:28:32very similar stories to David cram like
1:28:35for example one day Michael was just
1:28:37chilling in the house and gayy came home
1:28:40with a new car the random car that
1:28:42Michael had never seen before so he went
1:28:44out and he was like oh where where did
1:28:46you where didd you get this from and
1:28:47gasy couldn't really give him a straight
1:28:49answer he just didn't really answer
1:28:51we'll come back to that car a little bit
1:28:54later on in the case but Michael had so
1:28:56much more to tell police like he was
1:28:58also involved in the digging of the
1:29:00trenches underneath the house although
1:29:03at a separate time to David crra they
1:29:05didn't work on them together apparently
1:29:07John Wayne gasy had been very very
1:29:09strict about where the boys could and
1:29:11couldn't dig basically the trenches that
1:29:13he wanted were about 6 foot long 2T deep
1:29:17and two foot wide which is about the
1:29:20same dimensions as a human Grave by the
1:29:22way and Michael Ross had also been
1:29:25instructed to lay about 10 bags of lime
1:29:28in these trenches and a little science
1:29:30lesson for you now lime is very alkaline
1:29:33and when it mixes with water it makes
1:29:36calcium hydroxide which is an incredibly
1:29:39corrosive substance just one drop of
1:29:41calcium hydroxide on your skin can cause
1:29:43like a chemical burn and it is used in a
1:29:46lot of murder cases to dissolve bodies
1:29:50to dissolve evidence but lime is also
1:29:53used in construction jobs and
1:29:55landscaping jobs and what was John Wayne
1:29:57gasy a damn contractor so when he was
1:30:01ordering 10 bloody big bags of lime no
1:30:04one questioned it he could get hold of
1:30:06it so easily so after speaking to David
1:30:08cram and Michael Rossy police had a lot
1:30:11of interesting information against gasey
1:30:14but they still had a lot more that
1:30:15needed investigating as well a lot more
1:30:18they were very very interested in that
1:30:20Pharmacy receipt that they found in that
1:30:22jacket pocket in his house in a jacket
1:30:25that didn't belong to John Wayne gasy
1:30:27might I add because the jacket was way
1:30:29too small for him interesting they
1:30:31thought that this receipt in the pocket
1:30:34proved gas's story to be a lie but as
1:30:37they started looking into it it seemed a
1:30:39lot more complicated than they
1:30:40originally thought turns out the receipt
1:30:43wasn't actually gasy it actually
1:30:46belonged to a young girl a 17-year-old
1:30:48Kimberly buyers who actually worked at
1:30:51the pharmacy I'm not entirely sure how
1:30:54they found out that it was her receipt
1:30:56but I don't know police have their ways
1:30:57don't they I guess so they went to go
1:30:59and speak to Kimberly buyers about how
1:31:01her receipt could have ended up in John
1:31:04Wayne gas's house so she told them that
1:31:07she'd actually borrowed Robert priest
1:31:1015-year-old Robert priest's jacket that
1:31:12day when she was at work she just needed
1:31:14to run outside and grab something and it
1:31:16was quite cold so she chucked on his
1:31:17jacket and then she went inside the
1:31:19store bought something got that receipt
1:31:22put it in the pocket of Robert jacket
1:31:25and then took off the jacket cuz she was
1:31:26done she didn't need it anymore and now
1:31:29police found that jacket and that
1:31:32receipt in John Wayne gase's house and
1:31:35now they knew that it was Robert's
1:31:37jacket suddenly everything was making
1:31:40sense Robert would have been wearing
1:31:42that jacket when he was abducted by gasi
1:31:45that's how it ended up there so they
1:31:46asked Kimberly to try and describe this
1:31:48jacket to them and she gave a
1:31:50description that completely matched this
1:31:52jacket in the house it proved that it
1:31:54was Robert's so they'd found his clothes
1:31:57but there was no sign of Robert at the
1:31:59house at all at this point let me just
1:32:01remind you that John Wayne gasy is still
1:32:03under 24-hour surveillance by police and
1:32:06still no sign of Robert they haven't
1:32:08seen Robert with him or anything like
1:32:10that but gasy himself is displaying some
1:32:13very very weird Behavior he'd pretty
1:32:15much let himself go at this point in
1:32:18time he stopped looking after himself
1:32:20stopped showering personal hygiene
1:32:22completely out the window he was
1:32:23unshaven he wasn't changing his clothes
1:32:26every day he was dirty he was groty he
1:32:28looked tired very very tired as if he
1:32:31wasn't sleeping properly as if he wasn't
1:32:33you know just looking after himself and
1:32:35he was also seen drinking at all
1:32:38different times of day like the
1:32:40surveillance police officers saw him
1:32:42getting drunk most days by December 18th
1:32:451978 gasy had had enough of this
1:32:49constant police surveillance and so he
1:32:51led those surveillance officers on yet
1:32:54another wild goose chase in his car but
1:32:57this time he went to his lawyer's office
1:32:59gasy stormed straight into his lawyer's
1:33:02office and just told him that he
1:33:04couldn't take it anymore the police
1:33:06surveillance was making him so anxious
1:33:09that he wanted to sue them so he and his
1:33:11lawyer sat in that office and drafted up
1:33:14a
1:33:15$750,000 lawsuit that demanded the
1:33:18police stop surveillance immediately
1:33:21little did he know that as he was trying
1:33:23to sort out this lawsuit police were
1:33:26also trying to sort out another search
1:33:29warrant for gas's home so they didn't
1:33:31know but they were like racing against
1:33:34each other to see who could get their
1:33:36thing sorted first cuz whoever was done
1:33:39first won essentially so a court date
1:33:42was set for gase's lawsuit on December
1:33:4522nd in 3 days time from when they
1:33:48drafted the lawsuit so that meant that
1:33:50police had 3 days to get this search
1:33:53warrant sorted and go and search the
1:33:55house it really was a Race Against Time
1:33:57this also meant that they might only
1:33:59have three more days of surveillance
1:34:02they might actually have to stop the the
1:34:0424hour surveillance if this lawsuit goes
1:34:07to plan so the surveillance officers
1:34:09knew that they needed to see something
1:34:11they needed to get something against
1:34:13John way gy quick but how were they
1:34:15going to do that how were they going to
1:34:17cook something out of him the very next
1:34:19day on December 19th John Wayne gy was
1:34:22acting normal again again he seemed to
1:34:24be fine on this particular day he went
1:34:26outside his house started speaking to
1:34:28surveillance officers as he often did
1:34:30and again he invited them into his house
1:34:33for a drink and the surveillance
1:34:35officers always turned him down always
1:34:38always cuz it's just in appropriate for
1:34:40them to go in and have a drink with them
1:34:41but at this point they were desperate
1:34:43they knew they didn't have much time
1:34:45left and they needed to get some
1:34:48information on this man and so on this
1:34:50particular day they were like all right
1:34:53yeah will come in for a drink they were
1:34:55being voluntarily let inside their
1:34:58suspect's home to be fair I feel like it
1:35:00might have been a good idea for them to
1:35:02go in before now but anyway it was like
1:35:04having a free search warrant really
1:35:06wasn't it although they're not really
1:35:07allowed to search suppose they can look
1:35:09with their eyes but anyway they they the
1:35:11police got inside the house anyway so
1:35:13they went and sat in the living room and
1:35:15they were just having just quite an
1:35:17irrelevant chat cuz obviously this
1:35:19wasn't an interview it wasn't a
1:35:20questioning they couldn't really ask him
1:35:21about the murder so they were just
1:35:23asking about like barring irrelevant
1:35:26stuff his job his clown stuff that he
1:35:30does at one point during this
1:35:31conversation one of the officers excused
1:35:33himself and went to the bathroom and you
1:35:35know everything was cool he uh went to
1:35:37the bathroom as one does and then he
1:35:39flushed the toilet and that was when
1:35:42things got weird all of a sudden when
1:35:44the toilet flushed this foul order just
1:35:48filled the room it was as if that flush
1:35:50had like triggered it and this horrid
1:35:52smell just like came out of the toilet
1:35:54but it wasn't like a toilet smell you
1:35:57know what I mean it wasn't like a a
1:35:59bathroom kind of smell in fact the
1:36:02officer knew exactly what that smell was
1:36:05it was the smell of human decomposition
1:36:09and apparently human decomposition is
1:36:12one of those smells that humans just
1:36:14kind of instinctively know I mean this
1:36:17officer had smelt that smell before
1:36:20because he'd worked on homicide cases
1:36:22before but it's supposedly I mean I've
1:36:25never smelled it before myself but it's
1:36:27supposedly one of those smells that you
1:36:28smell it and like instinctively it is
1:36:31built into us to know what that is you
1:36:34know to be able to like protect
1:36:35ourselves or whatever and apparently if
1:36:36you've smelled it before it's one of
1:36:38those smells that you like never forget
1:36:41um and so as soon as this officer smelt
1:36:45human decomposition like taking over the
1:36:48room he knew that they had to crack down
1:36:52on this investigation
1:36:54this was something that they hadn't
1:36:55noticed in the search before because
1:36:58when they went and searched his house
1:36:59and they found that big list of items
1:37:01that I talked about earlier none of the
1:37:03officers had gone to the toilet so no
1:37:05one had flushed the toilet so no one had
1:37:07like triggered this smell in the house
1:37:10but now they were realizing that
1:37:12something must be going on underneath
1:37:15the house you know within within the
1:37:17sewage and the pipes and that you know
1:37:20so once the police officers left gas's
1:37:22house that night this officer raised the
1:37:25alarm with everyone else on the team
1:37:27because he feared that maybe that was
1:37:30the smell of Robert priest's dead body
1:37:33and maybe his body was buried
1:37:36underground somewhere near the toilet
1:37:38and so the flush had like triggered that
1:37:40smell to come up so now that second
1:37:43search warrant that police were trying
1:37:45to get could not come quick enough
1:37:47because now they knew exactly where to
1:37:49look they had a plan once they got that
1:37:52search warrant they were going to go
1:37:54underground under that bathroom because
1:37:56they needed to know where that smell was
1:37:57coming from but the investigation was
1:37:59about to take a very unexpected turn
1:38:03less than 24 hours later the next day
1:38:05was December 20th John Wayne gasey drove
1:38:08himself to his lawyer's office once
1:38:11again on the premise of talking about
1:38:13this lawsuit that they had in the works
1:38:15but when he got there he looked just
1:38:18awful honestly like I said he was
1:38:21disheveled he was unshaven showered he
1:38:24smelled he was in like dirty clothes and
1:38:27as soon as he got to his lawyer's office
1:38:29he asked for an alcoholic drink and I
1:38:32think it was the morning time and this
1:38:34was a request that his lawyer wouldn't
1:38:36usually fulfill he wouldn't usually get
1:38:38his client an alcoholic drink in the
1:38:39middle of the day but looking at Don
1:38:41Wayne gasy he you know he felt like gasy
1:38:44needed one so the lawyer went out to his
1:38:47car he had a bottle of whiskey I think
1:38:49in his car and he brought it back into
1:38:50the office and paed gasy a drink as he
1:38:52was drinking in this glass of whiskey
1:38:54gayy picked up a newspaper that was on
1:38:56his lawyer's desk and on the front page
1:38:59of this newspaper was a big picture of
1:39:02Robert priest with the words missing
1:39:05right above it gy was quite drunk at
1:39:07this point he must have been drinking
1:39:08that morning before he got to the
1:39:09lawyer's office but anyway he was
1:39:11looking at this newspaper looked at this
1:39:13missing poster of Robert priest slammed
1:39:15the newspaper down on the table and just
1:39:17pointed at it and said this boy's dead
1:39:20he's in a river John Wayne gase then
1:39:22went on to tell his lawy a horrific
1:39:24story of Deceit sexual assault abduction
1:39:29murder everything that he had been doing
1:39:31in secret for years that no one knew
1:39:34about in a drunken ha gasy admitted to
1:39:37his lawyer that he had murdered
1:39:39countless teenage boys he described them
1:39:42all as male prostitutes Hustlers Liars
1:39:45he described himself as the judge the
1:39:47jury and executioner of many many people
1:39:51he described how he had sexually
1:39:52assaulted Ed raped and murdered every
1:39:56single one of these teenage boys and
1:39:58then hidden their corpses in the crawl
1:40:01space underneath his house he said that
1:40:04most of his victims were buried in one
1:40:06big Mass grave underneath his home and
1:40:10he'd just been living on top of it for
1:40:12years now but he also told his lawyer
1:40:14that the last five of his victims he
1:40:17couldn't fit in the crawl space he had
1:40:20filled up this Mass grave under his
1:40:22house so the last five of his victims
1:40:25their bodies were in a local River gy
1:40:27described to his lawyer what he called
1:40:30the rope trick where he would supposedly
1:40:32wake up in the morning and find dead
1:40:34strangled kids on the floor of his
1:40:37bedroom but supposedly he wouldn't know
1:40:39how they got there how it happened who
1:40:41the kids were and Midway through this
1:40:43confession to his lawyer John Wayne gasy
1:40:46just passes out passes out he was so
1:40:50drunk that he just he just knocked out
1:40:52and his life is just looking at him like
1:40:54it's clear that the police surveillance
1:40:57that he had been under for so long had
1:41:00really really gotten to him like he was
1:41:02so anxious and stressed about it that he
1:41:04was getting so so drunk to be able to
1:41:07like deal with it as a coping mechanism
1:41:09and it seemed that today he had reached
1:41:11his breaking point he had gotten so
1:41:13drunk that it still wasn't taking the
1:41:16stress away so he had to come and
1:41:18confess all of this to his lawyer well
1:41:20half of it cuz he passed out in the
1:41:22middle so once gasy had passed out of
1:41:24course his lawyer tried to wake him up
1:41:26couldn't wake him up cuz he was proper
1:41:27like well you know when someone passes
1:41:29out from alcohol they're like they're
1:41:30out there's no waking them up so he
1:41:32decided that he was going to let gasy
1:41:34just kind of sleep it off and in the
1:41:37meantime his lawyer called up a doctor a
1:41:39psychiatrist and booked in an assessment
1:41:41for gase first thing in the morning and
1:41:44then the lawyer just sat in his office
1:41:48and waited for gasy to wake up and he
1:41:50was there for hours until the next
1:41:51morning it was literally until the the
1:41:53next day when he finally woke up the
1:41:55next day gasy had no memory of the whole
1:41:58confession that he'd given his lawyer
1:42:00the day before like he couldn't remember
1:42:02anything that he said he didn't even
1:42:03remember how he got to the lawyer's
1:42:05office so now the lawyer had to recount
1:42:09all of gas's confession back to him he
1:42:12had to tell gasy that he had admitted to
1:42:14murdering over 30 different boys and men
1:42:18and when the lawyer told him that gasy
1:42:20just froze he he didn't know how to
1:42:23respond he couldn't believe that he had
1:42:25just admitted all of that to his lawyer
1:42:27he just shook his head and said well I
1:42:29can't think about this right now and
1:42:31then he stood up and left his lawyer's
1:42:33office he knew that the lawyer had
1:42:35booked him a psychiatric assessment cuz
1:42:37he'd already told him when he woke up so
1:42:39gasy knew that he was walking away and
1:42:41leaving this this appointment that had
1:42:43been made but he didn't care he didn't
1:42:45care that the doctor was on his way to
1:42:47the office right now he didn't care he
1:42:49was in a state of panic now after
1:42:51finding out that he had just had
1:42:53committed all of this obviously when
1:42:54gase walked outside of his lawyer's
1:42:56office and got back into his car the
1:42:57surveillance officers were still there
1:42:59they'd been packed outside the lawyer's
1:43:01office all night waiting for gasy to
1:43:03come out so gasy set off driving I think
1:43:05he went to a gas station filled up his
1:43:07car and of course the surveillance
1:43:09officers followed him there watched him
1:43:11the whole time and at this point gasy
1:43:13knew that he had just admitted to all of
1:43:16the murders to his lawyer and he knew it
1:43:18was only a matter of time until that got
1:43:20back to the police the lawyer was not
1:43:22going to keep keep that information to
1:43:24himself there's no chance gy knew that
1:43:27any moment now this could all be over
1:43:29and so he decided that he was going to
1:43:31have a little bit of fun with it while
1:43:33he still could he went to this gas
1:43:35station put the gas in his car and then
1:43:37he went inside the little shop bit to go
1:43:39and pay for it and he just pulled out a
1:43:41bag of weed and gave it to the cashier
1:43:44knowing that the surveillance officers
1:43:46were watching and they could see this
1:43:47but they weren't going to do anything
1:43:49about it because they were supposed to
1:43:50be watching him for murdery things not
1:43:53for not for drugs yeah he just handed it
1:43:55to this young girl behind the counter
1:43:57and just said the end is coming these
1:44:00guys are going to kill me the next thing
1:44:02John wangi did cuz he knew that the end
1:44:04was coming he decided that he was going
1:44:06to go and say all of his goodbyes to
1:44:08everyone that he loved starting with one
1:44:11of his closest and longest friends a man
1:44:13named Ronald Rod he arrived at Ronald's
1:44:16house and just ran straight up to him
1:44:18wrapped his arms around him and gave him
1:44:20the biggest longest hug ever which
1:44:24Ronald found kind of weird because they
1:44:26weren't usually an affectionate pair
1:44:29they didn't hug ever especially not this
1:44:32long immediately as soon as this hug
1:44:34started happening Ronald knew that
1:44:36something big was happening cuz they'
1:44:39never huged like this before something
1:44:40must be going on but he was not
1:44:42expecting what he was about to hear from
1:44:44gasy halfway through this hug gasy just
1:44:47burst into tears hysterical crying he
1:44:51pulled away from the hook and he tried
1:44:53to speak but he could barely get his
1:44:54words out and then he ended up muttering
1:44:56the words I've been a bad boy I killed
1:44:5930 people give or take a few I don't
1:45:01know what Ronald's response to this was
1:45:04I really couldn't find much about this
1:45:05interaction but after that gase went and
1:45:07jumped back in his car and went to his
1:45:09next destination and that next
1:45:11destination might actually surprise you
1:45:13he wanted to go and meet up with his two
1:45:15former Lodgers David crra and Michael
1:45:18Rossy of course the surveillance
1:45:20officers followed him all the way there
1:45:23and they were watching him as he was
1:45:24driving and it looked as though he was
1:45:26like praying he kept grabbing his rosary
1:45:28beads and like holding them close
1:45:30putting them on his chin he seemed like
1:45:32he was praying he was talking the whole
1:45:34time as he was driving of course they
1:45:35couldn't hear what he was saying but he
1:45:37seemed very very distressed like they
1:45:39could tell that he was he was not in a
1:45:41good mental state at this point so yeah
1:45:43gasy went to go and meet David and
1:45:45Michael I don't know where he met them
1:45:47and the surveillance officers really
1:45:49didn't see much of this cuz I think all
1:45:50the men went inside somewhere so they
1:45:52didn't see what happened they didn't
1:45:53hear any conversation but the next thing
1:45:55the surveillance officers saw was all
1:45:57three of the men came out of wherever
1:46:00they were and they jumped into David
1:46:01cram's car this time instead of gase's
1:46:05car so now we'll flip to David's point
1:46:07of view David is the one driving the car
1:46:11gasy demanded actually that David Drive
1:46:14to another one of gas's lawyers offices
1:46:18I think he had like two or three lawyers
1:46:19um and he had a meeting scheduled there
1:46:21so David drove him to the lawyer's
1:46:24office and gasy demanded that the two of
1:46:26them had to wait outside the office for
1:46:28him in that car for when he came back
1:46:30because they then had to drive him
1:46:32somewhere else after that so while gasy
1:46:34was inside his lawyer's office in this
1:46:36appointment David cram got out of the
1:46:38car and went to go and speak to the
1:46:40surveillance officers that had been
1:46:42following gasy for weeks they asked
1:46:44David cram what gasy had been saying
1:46:46when they'd all gone inside that house
1:46:48and of course the officers couldn't hear
1:46:50anything and David crem told them that
1:46:52gasy had just confessed to killing
1:46:55around 30 people the surveillance
1:46:57officers just told David and Michael to
1:46:59get back in the car don't let on to gasy
1:47:02when he comes out of that appointment
1:47:04don't let on that they have said
1:47:05anything to the police just act normal
1:47:08as if nothing just happened as if that
1:47:10conversation between David and the
1:47:12police never happened so gayy totally
1:47:14oblivious comes out of this appointment
1:47:16jumps right back in David's car in the
1:47:18passenger seat and demands that David
1:47:20Drive to the next destination which was
1:47:23a cemetery when he arrived gasy walked
1:47:27to his father's grave and sat beside it
1:47:30and then his behavior started to take a
1:47:33bit of a turn he was talking to himself
1:47:36although it was probably like talking to
1:47:37his father I guess but his voice was
1:47:39getting like louder and louder and more
1:47:42animated more emotional as this um
1:47:45conversation one sided conversation was
1:47:47going on he was getting increasingly
1:47:50more erratic as he was sitting there
1:47:52they could tell tell from just observing
1:47:53it he was clearly still very drunk as
1:47:56well and it was at this point that the
1:47:58surveillance officers started putting
1:48:00pieces together and they started
1:48:02realizing what gasy was doing that he
1:48:04was saying his final goodbyes to
1:48:06everyone that he loved to his friend and
1:48:08now to David and Michael and now to his
1:48:11father's grave so now the officers are
1:48:13thinking well why might he be saying his
1:48:15final goodbyes is it because he's about
1:48:18to take his own life they knew they had
1:48:20to do something if that was the way that
1:48:22it was going they needed to do something
1:48:24before gasey could kill himself and so
1:48:27they called the police back at the
1:48:29station their higher ups and they
1:48:31basically told them the situation look
1:48:32we think gayy is on a suicide mission
1:48:35right now he's saying his goodbyes he
1:48:37might kill himself before the end of the
1:48:38day what do we do and the hups told them
1:48:41to just go in and arrest him because
1:48:43they can't risk him killing himself they
1:48:45need to arrest him for the murders that
1:48:47they believe that he is responsible for
1:48:49luckily for the surveillance officers
1:48:52because they seen him handing the weed
1:48:54to that uh gas station cashier earlier
1:48:57in the day they had an excuse to arrest
1:48:59him that was completely separate to the
1:49:00murders they could arrest him on this
1:49:02drug charge get him down to the police
1:49:05station where he would then be under
1:49:07constant surveillance so he wouldn't be
1:49:08able to kill himself perfect actually
1:49:10this was like the best case scenario
1:49:12because that meant that he wasn't under
1:49:14police surveillance so the lawsuit
1:49:16didn't matter anymore and then by the
1:49:18time they would be able to search his
1:49:20house and hopefully get evidence to be
1:49:22able to to arrest him for the murders
1:49:24they'd know exactly where he was he'd be
1:49:25in the police station easy ass so that's
1:49:27exactly what they did the surveillance
1:49:29officers moved in and arrested John
1:49:31Wayne gasi for the drug charge whatever
1:49:34they took him back to the police station
1:49:35he was in police custody and later that
1:49:38day police went to go and speak to him
1:49:40in his holding cell they told them that
1:49:42they had been given the search warrant
1:49:44and they were about to go and search his
1:49:45house for a second time and that they
1:49:48knew about his crawl spaces and they
1:49:51would be searching his crawl bases they
1:49:53even told him that they expected to find
1:49:56the dead body of 15-year-old Robert
1:49:58priest under his house so they were
1:50:00preparing gy for what they were about to
1:50:02find but his response kind of shocked
1:50:06them he turned to them and he said
1:50:07you're not going to find Robert's body
1:50:09under there but you will find another
1:50:10boy he said that he had killed a young
1:50:13boy by accident many many years ago and
1:50:16it was in self-defense right and he
1:50:19panicked because he didn't want to get
1:50:21caught for killing the child and so he
1:50:23buried the body underneath his garage
1:50:26and then like concreted over it and put
1:50:28the garage over it so that the body
1:50:30could never be found police didn't
1:50:31really buy this story but I mean it
1:50:34didn't really matter anywhere because he
1:50:36had confessed to multiple people that he
1:50:38had murdered like 30 people they had so
1:50:41many different people coming to police
1:50:43being like uh John way gas's just told
1:50:45me he's killed 30 people do something
1:50:46the lawyer knew David cram Michael Rossy
1:50:50Ronald rhods so many people have had
1:50:52heard this story from John Wayne gasy at
1:50:54this point that why would they believe
1:50:56him why would they believe that he
1:50:57killed one kid in self-defense years ago
1:51:00I I don't know whatever so anyway they
1:51:02go and they search John Wayne gas's
1:51:04house but it seemed that gasey had tried
1:51:08to put a couple of obstacles in the way
1:51:10to prevent this search from going ahead
1:51:12gy had unplugged his sump pump which
1:51:16basically it's a pump that removes water
1:51:20from an area that has no natural
1:51:22drainage aka the crawl space it had a
1:51:25sump pump in it so that it wouldn't get
1:51:27flooded with water gasey knew that
1:51:30police would likely be trying to search
1:51:32that crawl space at some point and so
1:51:34he'd unplug this to make it harder for
1:51:36them to get in there and search a clever
1:51:38little trick from gasy clever clever
1:51:40clever but not clever enough because all
1:51:42police needed to do was plug it back in
1:51:45then it had drain all the water again
1:51:47literally it put them out for about 2 3
1:51:50hours they plugged it back in waited a
1:51:52couple of hours for it to drain the
1:51:54water again and then they were good to
1:51:55go they could go in the crawl space and
1:51:58they could search in the meantime as
1:52:00that so they'd pluged this pump back in
1:52:02yeah it's draining draining draining in
1:52:03the meantime they searched the rest of
1:52:04the house they were looking for any
1:52:06other evidence that could connect gasy
1:52:08to any of the victims or any evidence
1:52:11that murders had taken place inside that
1:52:13house but they didn't find like anything
1:52:16they they couldn't find anything they'd
1:52:18already found a lot in the first search
1:52:20to be honest they'd found like you know
1:52:22the ring and different items of clothing
1:52:25that didn't belong to gase they pretty
1:52:26much found everything that they were
1:52:27going to find in the actual house itself
1:52:30but they didn't lose hope because they
1:52:32knew that they were about to find
1:52:33something under that house they didn't
1:52:34know what but they knew that there was
1:52:37going to be something there so a few
1:52:38hours later once the crawl space was
1:52:40fully fully drained they sent in
1:52:42evidence technician Daniel Gentry he was
1:52:45the first person to go in there just him
1:52:48all by himself he went in and the first
1:52:51thing he did was measure the crawl space
1:52:53it measured 9 by 11 meters and this 9 by
1:52:5711 meter space that he was in seemed
1:53:01empty like it it was literally just like
1:53:03a mud room like it was an empty room so
1:53:07Daniel took a shovel in there and he
1:53:09went to the to the furthest corner of
1:53:12the crawl space that he possibly could
1:53:14and he started digging within just a
1:53:16couple of minutes of digging in that
1:53:18crawl space Daniel uncovered a petrified
1:53:22human arm with a born sticking out of it
1:53:26and it was quite a small arm as well
1:53:29suggesting that it could be a child
1:53:31Daniel shouted to the rest of the team
1:53:33who were still upstairs outside of the
1:53:35crawl space and he told them immediately
1:53:37to go and arrest John Wayne gasy he said
1:53:40I think this place is full of kids the
1:53:42next person to enter the crawl space
1:53:44along with Daniel was a police
1:53:46photographer of course he was there to
1:53:48take pictures but also to help out with
1:53:50the digging So Daniel was in one corner
1:53:53and the photographer started digging in
1:53:55the opposite corner and again within
1:53:57minutes of digging the photographer hit
1:54:00a bone it was a small human knee bone a
1:54:04patella and what was most worrying about
1:54:06this discovery was that both of these
1:54:08men had found human remains on opposite
1:54:12ends of the crawl space suggesting that
1:54:15maybe the whole thing was just full of
1:54:18human remains wall to- wall and these
1:54:20remains that the men found were pretty
1:54:22much just bones like the the bodies had
1:54:25completely decomposed and decomposition
1:54:28to this level can sometimes take years
1:54:32so how long had these bodies been there
1:54:35how long had John Wayne gasy been
1:54:37murdering for quickly following the last
1:54:40two discoveries The Searchers found a
1:54:43skull a human skull and then just
1:54:45underneath that another human skull
1:54:48buried just a couple of feet below which
1:54:50also suggested that not only was the
1:54:52crawl space full wall to--all with
1:54:54bodies but they were also stacked on top
1:54:57of each other as well police knew that
1:54:59separating the victim's remains from
1:55:01each other was going to be one hell of a
1:55:04task because like I said they were
1:55:05pretty much all fully decomposed just
1:55:08bones and they were all buried so close
1:55:11to one another that the bones were kind
1:55:13of intertwined it was hard to tell what
1:55:16bones belonged to what body it was
1:55:18genuinely like something out of a horror
1:55:20film all of these police officers on
1:55:22this case had never experienced anything
1:55:25like it in their careers it was just
1:55:27kids bodies one on top of another in
1:55:29this Mass grave underneath this man's
1:55:31home completely decomposed all their
1:55:34bones intertwined it was awful so as
1:55:37these searches continued at the house
1:55:39and as they kept digging and discovering
1:55:41more BS back at the police station they
1:55:45decided to let gasey know what they'd
1:55:48found they pulled him into an interview
1:55:50room and they basically said there still
1:55:52digging at your house right now but
1:55:54already so far we have found BS from
1:55:57multiple different bodies you are
1:55:58looking at multiple murder charges but
1:56:01gas's response once again shocked them
1:56:04he was always doing these quite like
1:56:06unexpected little moments he just turned
1:56:08to them and he said I knew this was
1:56:10coming and he said that he was ready to
1:56:12clear the air he actually seemed really
1:56:14unbothered by this whole thing by police
1:56:17telling him this like The Jig was up but
1:56:19he didn't really care in fact it was
1:56:21almost as if it was a bit of a relief to
1:56:23him because well I don't know this had
1:56:25been weighting on him for a very long
1:56:27time he did seem very very stressed
1:56:29probably more with the police
1:56:31surveillance but still I think he was
1:56:33just glad that he didn't really have to
1:56:35keep this secret anymore so in the early
1:56:37hours of December 22nd 1978 John Wayne
1:56:41gy sat in an interview room and gave
1:56:44police a full confession of every single
1:56:47one of his murders all the details that
1:56:49he could remember anywhere from start to
1:56:52finish over the last 6 years gasy
1:56:55claimed to have killed upwards of 30
1:56:57different people from so many different
1:56:59places including Chicago Lombard Uptown
1:57:03Lake View Bensonville the near North
1:57:06Side I think those are all places in
1:57:08Illinois he also claimed to have
1:57:09abducted boys from Kalamazoo in Michigan
1:57:12and Hammond in Indiana I don't know when
1:57:14he was in those specific places but
1:57:16while he was giving his confession to
1:57:18the police and I'm going to like talk
1:57:20you through the whole confession but as
1:57:22he was doing it he couldn't remember
1:57:24barely any of the names of his victims
1:57:26although in the aftermath police did
1:57:29manage to piece most of it together
1:57:31using different identification methods
1:57:33so I am going to include all the names
1:57:35that I can even where gasy didn't in his
1:57:39confession so just keep that in mind
1:57:40that he actually couldn't name most of
1:57:44these murder victims that we're about to
1:57:45talk about and sadly even still today in
1:57:492022 there are five of John Wayne gas's
1:57:52victims that are still not identified
1:57:54they've never been identified so let's
1:57:56go right back to the start shall we to
1:57:59John Wayne gas's first ever murder that
1:58:02he committed almost 7 years before he
1:58:05sat and made this confession it took
1:58:07place on January 3rd 1972 at the time he
1:58:11had just gotten married to his second
1:58:13wife Carol and Carol and her two
1:58:15daughters had moved into his Farmhouse
1:58:17everything was going well but on January
1:58:192nd gee had been out at a family party I
1:58:23believe but without Carol and her kids I
1:58:25don't know where Carol and the kids were
1:58:26but gasy was at this party alone and
1:58:29then that night he was driving home
1:58:31alone well actually it was more the
1:58:33early hours of the morning gasey was
1:58:34driving through Chicago when he passed
1:58:37the bus station and he saw a young boy
1:58:39sitting outside the closed bus station
1:58:42all alone in the cold it was January it
1:58:44was freezing Chicago gets so so cold in
1:58:47January this young boy that was sat
1:58:49outside the bus station was 16-year-old
1:58:51Timothy Jack mcco although as gasy was
1:58:54telling this story he couldn't remember
1:58:56the boy's name or the boy's age he
1:58:58simply referred to him as the Grayhound
1:59:00bus boy Timothy had been in Michigan
1:59:03over Christmas and now that Christmas
1:59:04was over he was on his way back home to
1:59:06Nevada but his bus wasn't until the next
1:59:09morning and the bus station wasn't open
1:59:11overnight and so he just had to wait
1:59:13outside in the freezing cold until the
1:59:15next morning when he could catch his bus
1:59:17and when I say cold I mean cold like
1:59:19Chicago gets into like minus temp riches
1:59:22in the winter it was dangerous for
1:59:25Timothy to be sat outside in the cold
1:59:26for so long but Timothy had no other
1:59:28choice he had nowhere else to go and
1:59:31gasey told the police that seeing
1:59:33Timothy sitting outside that bus station
1:59:35it really tugged on his heartstrings
1:59:37what heartstrings but anyway really
1:59:39tugged on his heartstrings I think we
1:59:40all know the real reason gase was
1:59:43interested in this boy it wasn't because
1:59:45he wanted to help him was it but gy
1:59:48pulled over his car and went to go and
1:59:50speak with Timothy for a little a while
1:59:52he found out that Timothy was waiting
1:59:54for his bus and it wasn't going to be
1:59:56there until morning and so gasy offered
1:59:58a solution to get him out of the cold
2:00:00until his bus arrived he said that he
2:00:02would take him on a driving tour of
2:00:04Chicago show him around the city he
2:00:07could sit in this nice warm car they
2:00:09could kill a few hours until he could
2:00:12then bring him back to the bus station
2:00:13so that he could catch his bus in the
2:00:15morning and Timothy was hardly in a
2:00:17position to turn down this offer like I
2:00:19said it was dangerous for him to be
2:00:21outside in such cold temperatures and so
2:00:23he agreed he jumped in this stranger's
2:00:26car and just drove around with him for
2:00:28hours so gase took him to all the
2:00:30touristy spots I don't know what I don't
2:00:33know what's in Chicago I don't know they
2:00:34drove around for ages they ticked off
2:00:36all the touristy things the two of them
2:00:38were chatting they were getting to know
2:00:39each other and once they'd kind of seen
2:00:42everything what what else is there to do
2:00:44what do they do now gasy didn't want to
2:00:46just take him back to the bus station he
2:00:49didn't want to leave this boy he'd
2:00:50really taken a l to him as they'd been
2:00:52chatting for hours and so he turned to
2:00:54Timothy and he offered him a place to
2:00:56stay for the night he said he would take
2:00:58him back home he had a spare bedroom
2:01:00that he could stay in and then in the
2:01:02morning he could drop him back off at
2:01:04the bus station in time for him to catch
2:01:06the bus so Timothy was over the moon
2:01:08with this and by now he felt that he
2:01:10could trust this man cuz they'd been
2:01:12talking for hours and he hadn't done
2:01:14anything weird yet so Timothy accepted
2:01:17he went back to gas's house and he
2:01:19stayed in the spare bedroom so gasey
2:01:21told the police that he took Timothy
2:01:23back home set him up in the spare
2:01:24bedroom and then he himself gy went to
2:01:28sleep in his normal bed with his wife as
2:01:31usual the next morning gasy says he woke
2:01:34up to see Timothy standing in his
2:01:37doorway looking really angry and holding
2:01:41a huge kitchen knife in his hand gasy
2:01:44was immediately struck with fear this
2:01:47like fight or flight kicked in and he
2:01:49jumped straight out of bed and went to
2:01:51try and knock the knife out of Timothy's
2:01:53hand but in doing so he actually like
2:01:56slashed his arm and actually gasy still
2:01:58had this scar on his arm he showed the
2:02:01police this scar on his arm that backed
2:02:02up the story so now gasy says that he
2:02:05has just been slashed by this kid
2:02:08holding a knife and so now he has to go
2:02:10into self-defense mode he starts
2:02:12fighting for his life thinking that if
2:02:14he doesn't Timothy's going to kill him
2:02:16with this knife and so gasy starts
2:02:18punching him kicking him pushing him
2:02:19trying to get him on the floor whatever
2:02:21Casey said that he managed to push
2:02:23Timothy into a wardrobe and like close
2:02:27the door but then Timothy managed to
2:02:29kick open the Wardrobe this sounds like
2:02:30a scene out of a film and now gasey
2:02:33flies into a fit of rage he said he
2:02:36shouted at Timothy saying mother [ __ ]
2:02:38I'll kill you before wrestling him to
2:02:40the ground grabbing the knife and
2:02:43stabbing him frenzied stabbing this
2:02:4616-year-old boy he just kept going and
2:02:49going and going this all this adrenaline
2:02:51like flowing through his body until
2:02:53eventually he calmed down he got off of
2:02:56Timothy and he' killed him he had killed
2:02:59this boy well actually he was almost
2:03:02dead gasy said that he then laid down
2:03:05next to Timothy's body and just listened
2:03:08to the gurgul he called them which was
2:03:12Timothy trying to breathe but goggling
2:03:15on his own blood so up until this point
2:03:18gasy said that it had all been quite
2:03:20self-defensive
2:03:21you know he said he flew off the handle
2:03:23towards the end but that's because
2:03:25Timothy was fighting him he said that
2:03:27the way that this altercation started
2:03:30Timothy was the one angry holding the
2:03:32knife and gasy was the one acting in
2:03:34self-defense right based on the story
2:03:37that he just told he doesn't seem like a
2:03:39cold-blooded killer does he that was
2:03:42until one comment that he made towards
2:03:45the end of the story gy said that as he
2:03:47was laying there listening to the ggul
2:03:50he said he really enjoyed listening to
2:03:52Timothy dying listening to him gasping
2:03:55for breath so much so that gasy then
2:03:58described how he climbed up on top of
2:04:01Timothy and had a mind numbing orgasm he
2:04:05ejaculated over Timothy's body as he L
2:04:09dying and then he said that's when I
2:04:12realized that death was the ultimate
2:04:14thrill once he was done gasy then
2:04:17grabbed the knife took it to the
2:04:19bathroom washed the blood off of it and
2:04:21and then took it back to the kitchen
2:04:23where he was going to put it back in the
2:04:24drawer but as he walked into the kitchen
2:04:27his heart dropped when he realized the
2:04:30real situation that had just happened in
2:04:33the kitchen laid out on the side were
2:04:36loads of different components to be able
2:04:38to make breakfast there were two plates
2:04:41two sets of Cutlery um a carton of eggs
2:04:44there was an uncut ham joint whatever
2:04:47and that was when gasy realized that
2:04:49Timothy hadn't been trying to kill
2:04:51anyone when he was holding that knife it
2:04:54was because he'd come to gas's bedroom
2:04:56in the middle of making him breakfast
2:04:58probably as a thank you for letting him
2:05:00stay over but gasy had taken it the
2:05:03wrong way thought that Timothy was about
2:05:05to kill him and instead murdered him in
2:05:08self-defense but it didn't matter what
2:05:11the situation was gasy was now a
2:05:14murderer and he had a dead body laying
2:05:16on his bedroom floor a dead body that he
2:05:19knew he needed to get rid of otherwise
2:05:20he'd be in big trouble so he spent the
2:05:23rest of the day burying Timothy's body
2:05:26on his land he then poured concrete over
2:05:29the top of it so that no one would ever
2:05:30be able to get to that body and like I
2:05:32said that concrete is what became the
2:05:34foundations of the garage that he would
2:05:37later build and would actually later use
2:05:39as a place to murder more boys so after
2:05:42this first murder you'd expect him to
2:05:45keep going wouldn't you you know
2:05:47especially with the way that he talked
2:05:48about it especially with the aftermath
2:05:50of the murder you know know realizing
2:05:52that death was the ultimate thrill it
2:05:54seemed like he really enjoyed himself
2:05:56but actually John Wayne gasy had a
2:05:582-year cooling off period he murdered
2:06:01this boy and then he was too scared to
2:06:03do it again for a while his second
2:06:04murder victim came 2 years later in
2:06:07January of
2:06:081974 however this second victim is one
2:06:11of those that is unfortunately still
2:06:13unidentified today so we don't have a
2:06:15name gy told the police that he
2:06:17strangled this second boy with a rope
2:06:20and then stared the dead body this boy's
2:06:23corpse in his wardrobe right next to the
2:06:26bed that he slept in with his wife it
2:06:29was there for days and his wife had no
2:06:31idea gy said that he just didn't really
2:06:33know what to do with the body he didn't
2:06:35know what to do he didn't know where to
2:06:37put it he didn't know what he was going
2:06:38to do so he was just staring it in the
2:06:40wardrobe for the time being until he
2:06:42decided something but the decomposition
2:06:44process began very quickly as expected
2:06:47and within a few days a foul smell was
2:06:50filling their bedroom room although his
2:06:52wife didn't actually seem to notice or
2:06:54she didn't seem too bothered by it
2:06:55anyway but then gasy realized that the
2:06:58body was leaking fluids out of his nose
2:07:03and his mouth and actually it was like
2:07:05leaking out onto the carpet staying in
2:07:07the carpet it was causing a horrid smell
2:07:09gy knew that he needed to do something
2:07:11about this and this was when he started
2:07:14getting David cram to dig out the crawl
2:07:17space underneath their house he dug it
2:07:19all out and eventually gasy moved the
2:07:22body from the Wardrobe into the crawl
2:07:24space this was the first body in that
2:07:27crawl space and he actually made a
2:07:29comment to police as he was giving this
2:07:31whole confession he told police that
2:07:33he'd learned his lesson from this second
2:07:35murder he knew what he needed to do
2:07:37differently next time you know because
2:07:39the bodily fluids leaking out of this
2:07:41guy he said that from this point on with
2:07:44most of his future victims if he knew
2:07:46that he was going to have to store the
2:07:47body for a few days before he could bury
2:07:49it he would always stuff them mouth or
2:07:52like their orifices with Rags or with
2:07:55underwear or with cloth or anything to
2:07:57stop the leaking his third murder would
2:08:00come about a year and a half later and
2:08:03the momentum of gas's murders is so so
2:08:06interesting to me his first few are like
2:08:09years apart from each other he seems
2:08:11like too scared to do it again after the
2:08:14first few but then after a while there's
2:08:16only like a week between some of his
2:08:18later victims he was like on a roll
2:08:20towards the end it's like towards the
2:08:23end he got addicted to killing he
2:08:25couldn't go more than a week without
2:08:27doing it he had like this urge to do it
2:08:30sometimes there were only days between
2:08:31his later victims so yeah the third of
2:08:34his victims was actually one of gas's
2:08:36own employees he was an 18-year-old boy
2:08:40named John bovich on July 30th
2:08:431975 gasy was 2 weeks late paying John
2:08:47and so JN approached him to bring this
2:08:50up very politely very calmly and so gasy
2:08:53invited John into his car and they could
2:08:56talk about the money situation as he
2:08:58drove him home so John did jumped in the
2:09:01car and the two of them drove to gas's
2:09:04house when they arrived gasy invited
2:09:06John in for a drink or two which he
2:09:09accepted he came inside and the two of
2:09:11them ended up getting absolutely wasted
2:09:13like they had way more than two drinks
2:09:15and once gasy was sure that John was
2:09:18super super drunk he told him about this
2:09:20magic trick that he knew he knew how to
2:09:24get out of a pair of handcuffs by Magic
2:09:26you know without without using a key so
2:09:28he demonstrated this to John he put the
2:09:31handcuffs on behind his back he wriggled
2:09:33around for a little while and then all
2:09:35of a sudden ah he's out is it's magic he
2:09:38tells John that he can teach him how to
2:09:39do this and John's like hell yeah I want
2:09:41to know how to how to get out of
2:09:43handcuffs as if by Magic so gasey goes
2:09:45and puts the handcuffs on John behind
2:09:48his back so now he's all cuffed up and
2:09:50then gase reveals that there was no
2:09:53magic trick in fact the magic trick was
2:09:56him using the key to get out of the
2:09:59handcuffs he had the key in his pocket
2:10:01he'd undone them behind his back and now
2:10:04there was no way for johon to get out of
2:10:06those handcuffs that gasy had just put
2:10:07him in it was all just a trick to get
2:10:10John bovich into those handcuffs so that
2:10:13he wouldn't be able to defend himself
2:10:15from what gasy was about to do gasy
2:10:17pushed John bovich onto the floor and
2:10:20sat on his his chest for a while I
2:10:23actually think that gasey thought that
2:10:25this could kill him because gasy was
2:10:27quite a big heavy guy and so I think he
2:10:30thought that just sitting on this guy's
2:10:32chest for a while might suffocate him
2:10:33but it wasn't it wasn't working or even
2:10:36if it might have worked it was going to
2:10:37take too long gasy was getting impatient
2:10:40so whilst still sitting on Jon's chest
2:10:43gasy then took his hands pressed them
2:10:45against John's neck and strangled him to
2:10:48death once he finished the job gayy then
2:10:51dragged Jon's body to the garage well
2:10:54almost to the garage but then he was
2:10:56interrupted his wife Carol and her two
2:10:59daughters had been out that evening
2:11:01hence why he was able to have johon
2:11:03round at the house and and do all this
2:11:05without his wife knowing but they had
2:11:06just arrived home just as gasy was
2:11:09dragging the body to the garage and
2:11:11suddenly he just started panicking he
2:11:13knew that he couldn't let Carol or her
2:11:15daughters see this corpse that he was
2:11:17dragging around the garden he needed to
2:11:19hide it quick and so he literally just
2:11:22shoved it in this Hall that had been dug
2:11:24underneath the garage this wasn't
2:11:26supposed to be a permanent place for the
2:11:27body just uh for the time being place
2:11:30just to get it out of sight and he would
2:11:32deal with it properly later I think the
2:11:34hall was actually supposed to be for
2:11:35like drainage purposes or something but
2:11:37right now it was the perfect makeshift
2:11:39grave for his third victim after John
2:11:42bovich disappeared of course he never
2:11:44returned home from work that night and
2:11:46his parents were really worried so they
2:11:48reported him missing to the police and
2:11:50of course John Wayne gasy was one of the
2:11:52first people to be interviewed because
2:11:54John was at work that day so maybe his
2:11:56boss knew where he was no one actually
2:11:59suspected foul play at this point in
2:12:01time not police not his parents you know
2:12:04people thought that John bovich had just
2:12:06run away and so they thought that gasy
2:12:09might know something maybe John had been
2:12:10talking about where he was going to run
2:12:12away to or something like that gayy just
2:12:13told police that he didn't really know
2:12:15anything he didn't know John very well
2:12:17he didn't deal with him very often he
2:12:19was quite a low down employee and
2:12:20obviously was right at the top so they
2:12:22didn't communicate all that much but
2:12:24then a few days later JN bovich his car
2:12:27was found abandoned with his keys and
2:12:30his wallet still inside so now his
2:12:33parents are thinking well he can't have
2:12:35run away why would he leave all of his
2:12:36stuff if he's run away something bad
2:12:39must have happened to John because he
2:12:41can't be alive somewhere and and living
2:12:43somewhere without money or without his
2:12:46things his parents started to think that
2:12:48John must be dead but who could have
2:12:51done it to him and that was when they
2:12:53remembered a conversation that they had
2:12:55had with their son's boss John Wayne
2:12:57gasy the day after John went missing
2:13:00they' asked him if he'd seen John on the
2:13:02day that he disappeared and gasy
2:13:04actually said yes he admitted that he
2:13:06had been the last person to see John on
2:13:09the day that he left work for the very
2:13:10last time and in fact he'd been very
2:13:12honest about the conversation that
2:13:14they'd had that he was lay on his
2:13:16payments and that johon had to confront
2:13:18him about it they had a friendly polite
2:13:20calm conversation ation gasy agreed to
2:13:22pay him gasy assured John's parents that
2:13:25the conversation ended well he promised
2:13:27to pay him there was no bad energy no
2:13:29lingering like negativity there but his
2:13:32parents just didn't believe it they
2:13:34didn't believe gy they were suspicious
2:13:36of him they were suspicious of their
2:13:37son's boss and they made it no a secret
2:13:40they asked police time and time again to
2:13:42look into this man because they knew
2:13:44something was going on they just knew it
2:13:45police did speak to gasy a few times in
2:13:49relation to The Disappearance but
2:13:50overall police didn't believe it they
2:13:52believed in The Runaway Theory they
2:13:54believed that johon was out there he
2:13:56wanted to run away he didn't want to be
2:13:58found and So eventually they just kind
2:14:00of dropped it and it was after this
2:14:02third murder that gasy decided that he
2:14:04no longer wanted to have sex with his
2:14:06wife Carol um that was when he kind of
2:14:08realized that he just wasn't interested
2:14:09in women he was only interested in
2:14:11teenage boys um and so he ended the
2:14:14sexual part of the relationship with his
2:14:16wife and this is important because gy
2:14:18said that once he stopped having sex
2:14:21with his wife it was now in 1975 that he
2:14:25started having sex with young teenage
2:14:27boys exclusively gy referred to this as
2:14:30cruising where he would go out in his
2:14:33car he would drive around Chicago
2:14:35looking for young teenage men usually
2:14:38prostitutes and he would pick them up
2:14:41and bring them back to his garage for
2:14:43sex and if you remember that's what led
2:14:45to his divorce from his wife Carol was
2:14:48her catching him going into this garage
2:14:50time and time again with different young
2:14:52boys but once their divorce was
2:14:54finalized once Carol was out of the
2:14:56house her and her daughters were out of
2:14:58the house and gasy had the whole thing
2:14:59to himself this only accelerated his
2:15:02crimes now that he had way more privacy
2:15:06and he didn't have anyone to catch him
2:15:08he could take advantage of so many more
2:15:11boys so as I'm sure you can imagine the
2:15:13speed at which his murders happened
2:15:15accelerated horrendously at this point
2:15:18in time up until now his murders had
2:15:20been at at least a year apart from each
2:15:22other sometimes two years sometimes a
2:15:24year and a half but now the next 30 out
2:15:27of 33 murders took place over the next
2:15:30two years he did 30 in the space of two
2:15:34years from 1976 to 1978 it's hard to
2:15:37believe that over 2 years someone can
2:15:40murder 30 plus young men and no one no
2:15:45one notices no one no one even suspects
2:15:48anything but actually it turns out that
2:15:50the neighbors did see and hear some
2:15:54suspicious stuff but they never really
2:15:56thought of it as suspicious at the time
2:15:58they never really put two and two
2:15:59together cuz to be honest there was no
2:16:02two and two to put together let's
2:16:03remember how respected John Wayne gasy
2:16:06was in that Community everyone loved him
2:16:09so when these weird little things would
2:16:11happen tiny little suspicious things
2:16:13people would talk themselves out of it
2:16:14thinking like oh no John way and Casey
2:16:16had never be up to anything weird he's
2:16:18he's an angel but yeah neighbors did
2:16:20know noticed that once Carol left John
2:16:24Wayne gas's Behavior changed quite a lot
2:16:27he suddenly became quite like stressed
2:16:29um and and erratic he was seen leaving
2:16:32the house late at night he was seen
2:16:34returning in the early hours of the
2:16:36morning he suddenly seemed to have no
2:16:38routine no like schedule he was just
2:16:42doing weird things weird times and this
2:16:45was quite out of character for gasy
2:16:47because he was quite a hard worker up
2:16:50until like
2:16:51he started like murdering a lot but yeah
2:16:53he used to work like 15 hour days didn't
2:16:55he he was he was a grafter he had a
2:16:57solid routine but it seemed at this
2:16:59point all of that went out of the window
2:17:01and he just started acting completely
2:17:03different neighbors said that they would
2:17:05see the lights turning on and off in
2:17:07gase's house at like weird times of
2:17:09night middle of the night like the
2:17:11living room light would be on at like
2:17:122:00 a.m. but again they didn't really
2:17:14think much of it cuz it seemed that he
2:17:16had a really weird like schedule these
2:17:18days and actually a lot of the neighbors
2:17:20did see him returning to the house with
2:17:22young boys at weird times of night but
2:17:24again they dismissed it in their head
2:17:26they just kind of thought that it was
2:17:27probably his young employees or whatever
2:17:29I don't know they came up with a lot of
2:17:31excuses for gasy just on his behalf just
2:17:34cuz he was a good guy but here's the
2:17:36kicker right and this is the one that I
2:17:38can't believe was never reported some
2:17:41neighbors reported hearing muffled
2:17:43screams coming from John Wayne gas's
2:17:45house in the middle of the night and
2:17:47sometimes they would be so loud that
2:17:49they would wake the neighbors and and
2:17:50their children in the middle of the
2:17:52night yet no one reported anything why
2:17:54and this happened on a few occasions
2:17:56this wasn't a one-off thing like this
2:17:58happened multiple times they would be
2:18:00awoken to screams coming from John Wayne
2:18:02gas's house which is so hard to believe
2:18:05that they didn't report anything I don't
2:18:07know why they didn't report anything I
2:18:08feel like if this had been in 2022 that
2:18:11would have been reported hopefully if
2:18:13you ever hear anything like that please
2:18:14report it Jesus so anyway Gay's fourth
2:18:17murder took place about a month after
2:18:20his divorce was finalized and he went
2:18:22out that night specifically looking for
2:18:26a young man to lure in to rip and to
2:18:29murder he went out looking specifically
2:18:32for his next victim he drove around for
2:18:34a while until he saw 18-year-old Daryl
2:18:37Samson on the side of the road he pulled
2:18:40over got talking to Daryl don't know
2:18:42what the conversation was about but
2:18:43somehow he managed to get Daryl
2:18:45voluntarily to get into his car and come
2:18:48home with him but gasy did the exact
2:18:50same thing to darl as he had to his
2:18:52previous victims he murdered him and
2:18:55actually this time he stuffed a rag down
2:18:58his throat to avoid any leakages he had
2:19:01learned from his previous mistakes he
2:19:03buried the body underneath his house in
2:19:05the crawl space and exactly a month
2:19:07later he was out looking for his next
2:19:09victim it was May 14th 1976 when
2:19:1215-year-old Randall Reit went missing on
2:19:16his way home from school he was walking
2:19:17home from school and just never made it
2:19:19home then just a few few hours later
2:19:22another young boy went missing from that
2:19:24same area this time it was 14-year-old
2:19:27Sam Stapleton and gasey claimed
2:19:29responsibility for both of these
2:19:32abductions he said that he abducted them
2:19:34both separately picked them up off the
2:19:36side of the road and drove them back to
2:19:38his house where he raped and murdered
2:19:40them he saved both of the bodies and
2:19:43then ended up burying them together next
2:19:46to each other in the crawl space so
2:19:49already his murders are picking up at an
2:19:51alarming rate two in one day just 3
2:19:53weeks later on June 3rd gasy claimed his
2:19:57seventh murder victim this time it was
2:19:5917-year-old Michael bonnin Michael was
2:20:02strangled to death with a ligature and
2:20:04then gasi actually buried him under the
2:20:06floorboards of his spare bedroom not
2:20:08sure why he didn't put this one in the
2:20:10crawl space but the spare bedroom is
2:20:13where he would let his Lodgers sleep and
2:20:16sometimes his victims would sleep in
2:20:17there for a few hours before he would
2:20:19murder them so little did David cram
2:20:21know Michael Rossy knew that they were
2:20:23sleeping on top of a dead body under the
2:20:27flow boards and the murders picked up
2:20:29once again he was about to claim four
2:20:31more victims in the next 6 weeks his
2:20:34eighth victim was 16-year-old William
2:20:36Carol we don't know too much about this
2:20:38one other than he was strangled and
2:20:40buried in the crawl space his ninth
2:20:43victim was 16-year-old James harkinson
2:20:46and the last time James was heard from
2:20:48was actually a mysterious phone call
2:20:50that he he made to his parents although
2:20:52I don't think he said anything in this
2:20:54phone call and then the line cut out and
2:20:56it's believed that he made this phone
2:20:58call from gas's house maybe he was
2:21:00trying to get help and the very next day
2:21:02after that last murder gasy struck again
2:21:05his 10th killing was on August 6th 1976
2:21:09this time it was a 17-year-old boy named
2:21:12Rick Johnston and again we don't know
2:21:14much about the details of this one
2:21:16although he was killed and buried in the
2:21:18exact same way as the majority of gas's
2:21:21victims his next three victims so 11 12
2:21:24and 13 unfortunately have never been
2:21:27identified although they were murdered
2:21:29between August and October of 1976 one
2:21:32of these unidentified bodies is actually
2:21:35believed to be g's oldest victim of
2:21:38course because by the time the body was
2:21:40found it was practically just a skeleton
2:21:42they don't know exactly how old this man
2:21:44was but his age has been estimated
2:21:46between 23 and 30 years old but knowing
2:21:49John Wayne AC I think it's safe to say
2:21:52his age was probably on the lower end of
2:21:54that scale victims 14 and 15 were
2:21:57actually two friends that John Wayne
2:22:00gasy abducted and murdered at the same
2:22:03time these were 16-year-old Kenneth
2:22:05Parker and 14-year-old Michael Marino
2:22:08two days after that gasy then murdered
2:22:11another one of his own employees this
2:22:13time it was 19-year-old William Bundy he
2:22:16went missing after telling his parents
2:22:18that he was going to a party that night
2:22:20and I I don't know if this was a cover
2:22:21story or if gasy had actually promised
2:22:24him a party who knows maybe he said that
2:22:26he was having a party at his house but
2:22:28either way it ended the exact same as
2:22:31most of his other murders did he lowed
2:22:33William back to his house strangled him
2:22:36and then buried his body in the crawl
2:22:38space at some point during November or
2:22:40December Gaye couldn't remember exactly
2:22:42when this one was he abducted his 17th
2:22:45victim this time it was 21-year-old
2:22:47Francis Alexander in December of 197 6
2:22:51gasy got a call one day informing him
2:22:53that one of his employees hadn't shown
2:22:55up at work 17-year-old Gregory godzik
2:22:58but gasy wasn't worried because he knew
2:23:00exactly where Gregory godzik was just a
2:23:03few weeks prior Gregory had been round
2:23:05at John Wayne gas's house helping to dig
2:23:08out some trenches underneath his house
2:23:11supposedly for some tiling that was one
2:23:13of Gregory's first jobs that he ever had
2:23:15with the Contracting Company little did
2:23:17Gregory know that he had just dug his
2:23:20own grave and just a couple of weeks
2:23:22later he would be strangled and buried
2:23:26in that crawl space by his own boss
2:23:29making him the serial killer Clown's
2:23:3218th victim now but this one was a very
2:23:35close call for John Wayne gasy because
2:23:37when Gregory godzik went missing he told
2:23:40his parents exactly where he was going
2:23:42that night he was going to his boss's
2:23:44house to go and help out with a job so
2:23:45of course when Gregory didn't return
2:23:47home that night his parents got worried
2:23:49they called his boss Lo and this is
2:23:51where things start to get a little bit
2:23:52weird gasy told the godick family that
2:23:55Gregory had been very very unhappy for a
2:23:58very long time in fact he'd been crying
2:24:01at work he'd been so distressed and so
2:24:04unhappy with his life that he had
2:24:05decided to run away run away from home
2:24:07completely and this came as a total
2:24:10shock to the godic family because he
2:24:12wasn't sad well as far as they were
2:24:14aware Gregory was so fine he was happy
2:24:16he had a great life he they had no
2:24:19inkling that he could be sad at all that
2:24:22being said gasy did seem quite genuine
2:24:24in the conversation that he had with the
2:24:26godzik family and so in the end they
2:24:28just kind of believed him maybe Gregory
2:24:31could confide in his boss in a way that
2:24:34he never could with his family and maybe
2:24:36that's why gasy knew so much about his
2:24:38emotional state when his family didn't
2:24:40who knows maybe he was just close with
2:24:42his boss gasy even told the godzik
2:24:44family that at some point since he'd run
2:24:47away since he'd been missing that he'd
2:24:49actually received a voicemail from him
2:24:51and Gregory had said that he was doing
2:24:52all right and you know whatever whatever
2:24:54and so the family were like oh my God
2:24:55please let us listen to this voicemail
2:24:57and then gasy went to go and get it and
2:24:59he was like oh looks like I've deleted
2:25:01it by accident oh I'm sorry convenient
2:25:05in the end his family just believed gasy
2:25:08they just believed that Gregory had run
2:25:10away and they just hoped that wherever
2:25:12he was he was living a happier life
2:25:15little did they know that gasy had
2:25:18murdered their son and buried him
2:25:20underneath his house going into the new
2:25:22year
2:25:231977 gasy claimed his 19th victim on
2:25:27January 20th this time it was
2:25:2920-year-old John shik and I don't know
2:25:32how gayy and John shik met and I don't
2:25:35know how this came up in conversation
2:25:36but basically at some point gayy offered
2:25:39to buy Jon's car off him and so John
2:25:42drove the car to gas's house gy had a
2:25:45look in the car he was like yeah looks
2:25:47good I'll take it and so he invited John
2:25:49into his house for a celebratory drink
2:25:52while they signed all the all the
2:25:53paperwork to hand over the car but once
2:25:55gy got John inside his house he switched
2:25:58on him and he grabbed him by the throat
2:26:00and strangled him to death this whole
2:26:03time by the way as John is being
2:26:05murdered in the hallway Michael Rossy is
2:26:08in the spare bedroom because this was
2:26:10when he was living with gasey he had no
2:26:12idea that his boss was murdering another
2:26:16man in the hallway the next morning
2:26:18Michael Rossy woke up and gayy was like
2:26:21look I've got this new car look at my
2:26:22new car and if you remember Michael
2:26:25asked him where he got it and gasy just
2:26:26couldn't give him a straight answer he
2:26:28just kind of avoided the question turns
2:26:30out it was his murder victim's car in
2:26:33the end gasey actually ended up selling
2:26:35the car to Michael Rossy who was driving
2:26:37around in it for like a year he had no
2:26:39idea where it came from no idea that it
2:26:41was a murder victim's car the only
2:26:43reason he actually stopped driving it
2:26:45after a year was because he got caught
2:26:48stealing petrol from a gas station or
2:26:50something um and so he had the car
2:26:52seized by the police and once it was
2:26:54seized they ran the license plate on the
2:26:57system and they found that it belonged
2:26:59to a missing man John shik luckily for
2:27:02gey police didn't really look into it
2:27:04Michael Rossy said that he'd just been
2:27:06given the car as a gift and he had no
2:27:09idea that it belonged to a missing man
2:27:11and police just kind of dropped it
2:27:12although it would have been useful for
2:27:14them to look into that wouldn't it gy
2:27:16got a lucky escape again but I just want
2:27:19to take you back to the first search
2:27:21that police did of John Wayne gas's home
2:27:23do you remember they found that High
2:27:25School ring from 1975 and it had those
2:27:27initials J engraved in it that was John
2:27:30shik's ring that police found so after
2:27:33this murder gas's confidence was a
2:27:35little bit knocked this didn't happen
2:27:37often to him but it was he had nearly
2:27:40been caught twice in a row now and so he
2:27:42decided to lay low for a couple of
2:27:44months but then by March 15th 1977 gase
2:27:48was ready to get back to business and
2:27:49claim his 20th murder victim this time
2:27:52it was a 20-year-old man named John
2:27:54Prestige that night John had gone out to
2:27:57a restaurant with some friends and
2:27:59seemed to have gone missing on the walk
2:28:01home he never made it home that night
2:28:03his disappearance remained unsolved for
2:28:05so many years police had no leads in
2:28:08this disappearance case well not until
2:28:11years later when John Wayne gasy sat
2:28:13there and confessed to abducting
2:28:15murdering and burying this man under his
2:28:18house had gasy never conf confess to all
2:28:20these murders I don't know if they would
2:28:22ever have known what happened to John
2:28:24Prestige to be fair I think that's the
2:28:25case with quite a few of these at this
2:28:27point by the way this was the 20th body
2:28:30in the crawl space just short of 20
2:28:32bodies in the crawl space cuz a couple
2:28:34of them were put in different places but
2:28:35you can imagine how full this crawl
2:28:37space is getting by now there were
2:28:39bodies on top of bodies in there gas's
2:28:4121st victim is again still unidentified
2:28:45to this day all we know about this
2:28:47victim is that he was between the ages
2:28:49of 17 and 21 and those cases make me so
2:28:52sad man like that was a young boy with
2:28:55hobbies and interests likes dislikes
2:28:58hopes dreams passions he had a family he
2:29:01had things that he loved doing and now
2:29:03we don't even know his name all we know
2:29:05is that he was between the ages of 17
2:29:07and 21 when he was brutally murdered the
2:29:1022nd victim of the Killer Clown was
2:29:1219-year-old Matthew Burman followed
2:29:14quickly by 18-year-old Robert Gilroy as
2:29:17you can see John Wayne gy is building
2:29:19his confidence back up quite quickly now
2:29:22he told police during his confession
2:29:24that it kind of became like an addiction
2:29:26like he had to do it he had this
2:29:28overwhelming urge he would just be like
2:29:30driving in his car at night he would see
2:29:32a young man on the side of the road and
2:29:34he just had to pull over and get him it
2:29:36was like an insatiable urge inside him
2:29:39he admitted that he would make sexual
2:29:41advances on all of the men well all of
2:29:44the young boys that he would pick up um
2:29:46some of them would consent and
2:29:48reciprocate those sexual favor
2:29:50and some of them would turn him down and
2:29:52in that case if they would turn him down
2:29:55gasey would just forcefully rape them
2:29:58anywhere he would handcuff them or tie
2:30:00them up so that they couldn't escape him
2:30:02in some cases he would even gag them or
2:30:05shove something down their throat to
2:30:07stop them from screaming we're nowhere
2:30:09near the end by the way we've still got
2:30:10a lot to go his 24th victim was
2:30:1219-year-old John mowery again he picked
2:30:15him up drove him home raped him
2:30:18strangled him and buried him in the
2:30:19cross space from October to December of
2:30:221977 gasey was on a roll once again he
2:30:25killed about five more victims in the
2:30:27space of 6 weeks these five victims over
2:30:30the space of 6 weeks were 21-year-old
2:30:32Russell Nelson 16-year-old Robert winch
2:30:3519-year-old David Talmer and 20-year-old
2:30:37Tommy borling who actually had a baby at
2:30:40home which is so sad and you might have
2:30:42noticed that I only said four names when
2:30:44I said he had five victims in six weeks
2:30:47and that's because the fifth of those
2:30:49victims was actually one of John Wayne
2:30:51gas's only survivors and gasey seemed to
2:30:54look back on this one particular assault
2:30:57very fondly he remembered a lot more
2:30:59details about this one than he did all
2:31:01the other ones it seemed as though this
2:31:03was one of his favorites this victim was
2:31:0519-year-old Robert Donnelly gasy had
2:31:08been just driving around one night when
2:31:10he noticed Robert walking down the
2:31:12street he pulled over his car and
2:31:14abducted Robert at gunpoint he drove him
2:31:16back to the house where he tortured and
2:31:19raped him for hours hours and hours and
2:31:22one of these torture methods was
2:31:23repeatedly dunking his head into
2:31:26freezing cold water in the bath so that
2:31:28he was he was like nearly passing out in
2:31:31fact he actually did pass out at one
2:31:32point because gasy had to pull him out
2:31:34of the bath wait for him to wake up and
2:31:36when he did he taunted this boy saying a
2:31:40aren't we playing fun games tonight
2:31:42Robert had been pleading throughout this
2:31:44whole ordeal for gasy to just let him go
2:31:47to Just spare him to just let him live
2:31:49and of course G he was loving every
2:31:50second of this he loved experiencing the
2:31:53fear in his victims then after hours and
2:31:57hours and hours of being raped and
2:31:59tortured Robert realized that the
2:32:02chances of him being let go alive were
2:32:05very very unlikely he really thought
2:32:07that John wingy was going to murder him
2:32:09his plea changed from please let me go
2:32:12to please just kill me please just get
2:32:16it over with and actually this had the
2:32:19adverse effect on John Wayne gasy he
2:32:22took pity on Robert and actually decided
2:32:26to let him go gy told Robert to jump in
2:32:29his car he drove him to where he worked
2:32:31and then told him to get out and before
2:32:33gasy sped away he told him not to tell
2:32:35the police that was the only victim that
2:32:37gasy ever like intentionally took pity
2:32:41on and spared and like let them live I
2:32:44wonder what was so different about this
2:32:46one compared to the others in the
2:32:48following Days Robert was so so
2:32:50traumatized by what he'd been through
2:32:52and he was so terrified that John Wayne
2:32:54gasy was going to come back for him that
2:32:56he didn't tell anyone anything about
2:32:58what had happened to him but after about
2:33:00a week of living with with all of this
2:33:04just circling through his head he
2:33:05couldn't take it anymore and he
2:33:07eventually went to the police police
2:33:09immediately brought John Wayne gasey in
2:33:11for questioning I'm not sure how they
2:33:12knew exactly who to bring in but they
2:33:14brought him in but gayy had already
2:33:17thought this through he knew that there
2:33:19was a chance that Robert would go to the
2:33:21police and so he already had a cover
2:33:23story ready gayy told the police that he
2:33:26and Robert were lovers well ex lovers
2:33:29now he said that the two of them used to
2:33:31be in a relationship a very um how do I
2:33:36put this it was kind of like a master
2:33:38and sex slave relationship where gasy
2:33:41was essentially allowed to abuse Robert
2:33:44in a sexual way and it was consensual
2:33:47you know gy told the police that he had
2:33:49recently broken up with Robert and
2:33:51Robert was very bitter about it he did
2:33:54not want to break up but also he wasn't
2:33:56just bitter about the breakup gayy also
2:33:58said that he was bitter because he owed
2:34:00him money so basically Gaye's just
2:34:03telling police look don't listen to him
2:34:05he's my jealous ex-boyfriend he just
2:34:07wants to get back at me he's just making
2:34:09up these lies to ruin my life and police
2:34:11believed him they didn't believe Robert
2:34:14anymore they believed John we gasey they
2:34:16let gasy go completely free of any
2:34:19charges and within a month he was back
2:34:21to killing his 29th murder was of a
2:34:2419-year-old boy named William Kindred
2:34:26his 30th murder was supposed to be of a
2:34:2926-year old man named Jeffrey rigal but
2:34:32this one didn't quite go to plan with
2:34:34Jeffrey he had found him on the side of
2:34:36the road pulled over abducted him and
2:34:39once he got him inside the car he
2:34:41chloroformed him to knock him out he
2:34:43took Jeffrey back to his house where he
2:34:45absolutely tortured this man he raped
2:34:48him time and time again he was whipping
2:34:50him pouring hot wax on him he was doing
2:34:53all sorts to this man he was tied up the
2:34:55whole time as well I can't remember if I
2:34:56said that he was tied up and whenever
2:34:58Jeffrey tried to fight back gayy would
2:35:00just grab the chloroform and knock him
2:35:02out again while he raped him he actually
2:35:04did this a few times throughout the
2:35:06hours of torture that Jeffrey had to
2:35:09sustain and it was around this time when
2:35:11he was torturing Jeffrey that gayy
2:35:13realized he couldn't actually kill him
2:35:16because the crawl space was full he had
2:35:18managed to fill up the crawl space with
2:35:22bodies now so even if he was to kill
2:35:25Jeffrey where was he going to put the
2:35:27body there was physically no space left
2:35:30for another body and so with that the
2:35:33Killer Clown had to let another one of
2:35:35his victims go alive gy drove him out to
2:35:39some random Park in Chicago and
2:35:41chloroformed him one last time and then
2:35:44left jeffy's unconscious body on the
2:35:46floor just left him to wake up when
2:35:48Jeffrey did wake up up he managed to
2:35:50walk to his girlfriend's house he told
2:35:52her everything and then the two of them
2:35:54went to the police station together to
2:35:56report the incident however police did
2:35:59pretty much nothing to investigate this
2:36:02one which makes me so mad I don't know
2:36:05why this man had been tortured raped for
2:36:07hours and police didn't really seem to
2:36:09care actually and this only pumped up
2:36:12John Wayne gas's confidence so much more
2:36:15because at this point he'd let two
2:36:17victims go alive and not seen any
2:36:20consequences as far as he was aware
2:36:22police went on to him like he was
2:36:25invincible in his eyes at this point in
2:36:27time he thought that he could do
2:36:29anything and get away with anything his
2:36:31actual 30th victim 30th murder victim
2:36:34was a 20-year-old boy named Timothy o
2:36:37rock however once he killed Timothy he
2:36:40had the same problem as last time the
2:36:42crawl space was still full where was he
2:36:44going to put this body so he had to
2:36:46think fast about where he was going to
2:36:47get rid of this body and then he
2:36:49remembered the Dez plains River that was
2:36:52like not too far away from where he
2:36:54lived he hoped that if he threw the Body
2:36:56In this River it would just like get
2:36:58washed away it might sink it might
2:37:01disintegrate who knows and worse comes
2:37:03to worse if it did wash up on the shore
2:37:05then it might just look like a drowning
2:37:07victim I don't know anyway he disposed
2:37:09of the body in the Dez plains River gy
2:37:11was a little bit anxious after this one
2:37:13though because he knew that there was
2:37:15the possibility that the body could wash
2:37:16up and then it could cause issues for
2:37:18him so for weeks afterwards months even
2:37:22gasy was glued to the news waiting for a
2:37:26report to come up about a body being
2:37:28found in the river he needed to know
2:37:30what was going on with this
2:37:31investigation but every single day he
2:37:34would tune into the news and nothing was
2:37:36coming up it didn't seem as though
2:37:38they'd found this body at all so maybe
2:37:40the Dez plains River was the perfect
2:37:43place to dispose of a body if it's not
2:37:45going to wash up so now John Wayne gas's
2:37:48confidence is on it way back up he
2:37:50realized that he could keep doing these
2:37:52murders and probably keep getting away
2:37:54with them if he kept putting the bodies
2:37:56in the river he waited nearly 5 months
2:37:59before committing his next murder
2:38:01because he was that anxious and this one
2:38:03actually took place on November 4th 1978
2:38:06this time he abducted and strangled an
2:38:0818-year-old boy named Frank landan and
2:38:11again he disposed of the body in the Dez
2:38:13plains River but this time it didn't
2:38:16quite go to plan it didn't go as
2:38:18smoothly as the first one because about
2:38:20a week later Frank's naked body washed
2:38:23up on the River Bank police were called
2:38:26and they of course recovered the body
2:38:28but they weren't able to identify it and
2:38:30they actually couldn't figure out how
2:38:31Frank had died either and so this wasn't
2:38:35categorized as a murder there wasn't a
2:38:37major investigation so gasy still got
2:38:40away with it well that was until he
2:38:42confessed later on and then police knew
2:38:44that he was responsible and actually I
2:38:47mean you would think this would scare
2:38:48John wing gy a little bit because he's
2:38:51he's a little bit anxious at this point
2:38:52in time but actually it really didn't
2:38:54put him off and he was ready to kill
2:38:56again a week later this time he abducted
2:38:5820-year-old James mazara who was walking
2:39:01home from a Thanksgiving dinner he
2:39:03abducted him raped him tortured him
2:39:06murdered him and then disposed of his
2:39:08body in the Dez plains River and then
2:39:10John Wayne gase's 33rd and final victim
2:39:14was of course 15-year-old Robert priest
2:39:16on December 11th 1978 this was the
2:39:19murder that kickstarted this whole
2:39:22investigation the start of the end for
2:39:24gasy gasy had denied involvement in this
2:39:27disappearance the whole time police had
2:39:29been questioning him up until now when
2:39:31he was given this full confession and he
2:39:33finally confessed that yes he had
2:39:35abducted Robert priest and yes he had
2:39:38murdered him but now we have more
2:39:39details on how this went down so gase
2:39:42told the police that he had met up with
2:39:44Robert outside of the pharmacy told him
2:39:46that he had a job for him and that was
2:39:48how he managed to lure him back to his
2:39:50house Robert willingly got in gas's car
2:39:53and he drove him back once he was there
2:39:55he did the old handcuff magic trick
2:39:58method thing you know where there's no
2:40:01magic trick and he just gets to handcuff
2:40:03his victim and once he did he turned to
2:40:05Robert priest and said I'm going to rape
2:40:08you and you can't do anything about it
2:40:10gasy tied a piece of rope around
2:40:12Robert's neck as he cried hysterically
2:40:16and in that moment gase's phone started
2:40:19ringing in before he got up to go and
2:40:21answer the phone gayy made sure that the
2:40:23Rope was tied as tight as he possibly
2:40:25could around Robert's neck so that he
2:40:27couldn't make any noise so that he
2:40:29couldn't disturb the phone call it was
2:40:31just a business call for gayy nothing
2:40:33too exciting but Robert had to sit there
2:40:36and listen to this as he was slowly
2:40:39being strangled to death by this rope
2:40:41around his neck and that is where John
2:40:44Wayne gy ended his confession 33 murders
2:40:48plus more victims on top of that so
2:40:50police now needed to connect John Wayne
2:40:53gase's confession to the physical
2:40:55evidence that they had you know all
2:40:57those bodies in the crawl space so the
2:41:00next thing they did they asked him to
2:41:01draw out a map of the crawl space and
2:41:03try and map out where as many of the
2:41:05bodies were as he could possibly
2:41:07remember and the next day a full
2:41:09archaeological investigation was
2:41:11launched to try and recover as many BS
2:41:15as they possibly could from under this
2:41:16man's house and this was such a trick
2:41:19investigation as I said earlier in the
2:41:21video imagine how hard this would be all
2:41:24the bodies were so packed in there so
2:41:27close together they were all just
2:41:29skeletons at this point in time it was
2:41:31so hard for them to be able to tell what
2:41:33bone belonged to what body and all of
2:41:35these investigators that were down there
2:41:37in the crawl space they had to be so
2:41:39careful like where they were moving
2:41:41where they were standing because well
2:41:43honestly everywhere they stood they were
2:41:45standing on a body they couldn't help it
2:41:47there was nowhere else to stand in the
2:41:49end end they had to pretty much
2:41:51dismantle the whole of John Wayne gas's
2:41:54house to be able to like get to all of
2:41:56these bodies they had to rip up all the
2:41:58floorboards they pretty much just
2:41:59guttered the whole house they had
2:42:01Specialists like sifting through the
2:42:04soil for weeks weeks and weeks and weeks
2:42:06looking for even the tiniest little
2:42:08fragments of BNS maybe some teeth
2:42:11anything that could help identify these
2:42:13bodies and as they started to identify
2:42:16these remains underneath the house they
2:42:18were starting to learn more and more
2:42:19about each individual murder like victim
2:42:22number five Randall rfet he was one of
2:42:25the first to be found with a cloth still
2:42:28inside his mouth like the cloth was
2:42:30still in his skeleton when his remains
2:42:34were found at first police thought it
2:42:36was a gag you know he'd been gagged as
2:42:38he was being murdered and then it had
2:42:39just been left in there but after they
2:42:41heard John Wayne gas's confession they
2:42:44realized that he probably just stuffed
2:42:45this rag inside Randall's mouth to stop
2:42:48any leakage
2:42:49victim number seven Michael bonnin was
2:42:52one of the first to be found with a
2:42:53piece of cloth around his neckbones
2:42:56suggesting that whatever had been used
2:42:58to strangle him had just been left
2:43:00around his neck when his body was buried
2:43:03Timothy McCoy gas's first ever victim
2:43:06you know the one that he stabbed to
2:43:07death and it was all supposedly an
2:43:09accident when his remains were recovered
2:43:11they found loads of little notes in his
2:43:14ribs which I mean backs up gas's story
2:43:16that he stabbed him multiple times and
2:43:18just a bit of a the side note I find
2:43:20this one particular murder quite
2:43:22interesting it was his first ever one
2:43:24and this was the only bloody murder that
2:43:28gase carried out after this one he
2:43:31decided he didn't want to use knives for
2:43:32some reason I don't think he ever
2:43:34explained why he changed his murder
2:43:36method to strangulation after this I
2:43:38don't know if he didn't like the act of
2:43:41stabbing Timothy that much or I I don't
2:43:43know I don't know if the blood was too
2:43:45messy I I really wonder why that one
2:43:47really interests me you don't see that
2:43:49very often where they would do like one
2:43:52murder in one way and then change
2:43:54completely for the rest G's eighth
2:43:56victim William Carol his remains were
2:43:59actually found with a ball of socks in
2:44:02his pelvic region suggesting that he had
2:44:05had this this ball of socks stuffed
2:44:07inside him inside his inness around the
2:44:10time of his death a couple of other
2:44:12bodies were also found with um
2:44:14prescription medication bottles around
2:44:17the pelvic region again suggesting that
2:44:19they had been shoved inside the men but
2:44:22inside the boys when they were killed
2:44:23and something else that was discovered
2:44:26during this investigation as they were
2:44:28pulling out all these burs it seemed
2:44:30that a couple of John Wayne gas's
2:44:32victims had been dismembered had been
2:44:35chopped up which is something that he
2:44:36conveniently left out of his whole
2:44:39confession but they knew that it was
2:44:40true because a lot of the burs seemed to
2:44:43have been cut with a knife like actually
2:44:45dissected there were a couple of bodies
2:44:47that seemed to have been decapitated all
2:44:49of their limbs cut off some of them were
2:44:51just torsos I mean this was only a
2:44:53couple of the bodies but I find it
2:44:55really interesting that he didn't even
2:44:57so much as hint about that in his
2:44:59confession finally in March of 1979
2:45:02after about 3 months of searches police
2:45:05were finally done with John Wayne gas's
2:45:07house and the whole thing was demolished
2:45:10the last four of John Wayne gas's
2:45:12victims were eventually found from the
2:45:14Dez plains River one of which had a pair
2:45:17of underwear shoved all the way down
2:45:19down their throat but this actually
2:45:20wasn't their cause of death so this
2:45:22victim his name was Frank and this pair
2:45:25of underwear was shoved so far down his
2:45:27throat that it had actually made him
2:45:29vomit but of course the vomit couldn't
2:45:32come out properly and so Frank actually
2:45:35ended up drowning on his own vomit one
2:45:38of the last bodies to be recovered from
2:45:40the river was John Wing's final victim
2:45:4415-year-old Robert priest he'd been
2:45:46choked to death by gasi and he was also
2:45:48found with wads of paper shoved down his
2:45:51throat it's believed that gasy probably
2:45:53did this when the phone started ringing
2:45:55you know to stop Robert from making any
2:45:58noise and blowing his cover so now that
2:46:00all of this evidence had fallen into
2:46:02place police could finally charge John
2:46:04Wayne gy with 33 counts of murder they
2:46:08asked him one last time if there were
2:46:10any more bodies that they hadn't found
2:46:12or that they were yet to find and gasy
2:46:15responded that's for you to find out so
2:46:17now gasy was was due to go to trial well
2:46:20in about a year's time obviously the
2:46:22trial needed to be prepared but in the
2:46:24meantime he underwent 300 hours well
2:46:28over 300 hours of different
2:46:31psychological tests and observations
2:46:35different assessments they really wanted
2:46:37to know what the hell was going on in
2:46:38this man's brain to make him do all of
2:46:40this and gasy tried absolutely
2:46:43everything in his power to seem insane
2:46:46he did not want to be found legally sit
2:46:49in because that would mean that he would
2:46:51probably get the death penalty for what
2:46:53he had done whereas if he could seem
2:46:55like he wasn't mentally well then he
2:46:57might just get time in prison or in a
2:46:59hospital maybe so John Wayne gasy tried
2:47:02to convince all of his psychiatrists
2:47:05psychologists doctors that he had
2:47:07multiple personality disorder and he
2:47:09said that he had four different
2:47:12personalities four different altars
2:47:14there was the clown who was Jolly fun
2:47:17lovable happy there was the contractor
2:47:20who was hardworking determined there was
2:47:23the politician who was serious mature
2:47:27intelligent and then there was Jack
2:47:29Hanley although sometimes gasy referred
2:47:31to this one as bad Jack and bad Jack was
2:47:34a nasty piece of work he was homophobic
2:47:37he was abusive he abused prostitutes he
2:47:41just disrespected any member of society
2:47:44that he deemed less than him and that
2:47:46was most people bad Jack referred to gay
2:47:50men and sex workers as degraded scum it
2:47:53seemed that he had a particular hatred
2:47:55for like young gay sex workers and gasy
2:47:58told his psychiatrist that when he did
2:48:01that massive confession with police he
2:48:03was just confessing to bad Jacks crimes
2:48:07and that the clown the politician and
2:48:08the contractor had nothing to do with
2:48:11the things that Jack Hanley had done
2:48:14wait does that mean anything I don't
2:48:15know why I haven't checked that can
2:48:17someone let me know if Jack Hanley means
2:48:19anything I've just Googled it it's a
2:48:20it's a museum I don't know an art
2:48:23gallery but yeah psychiatrists just
2:48:25didn't believe that John Wayne gasey had
2:48:28multiple personality disorder it just
2:48:30didn't seem genuine it seemed actually
2:48:32far too convenient and obviously
2:48:34psychiatrist know the exact symptoms and
2:48:37behaviors to be looking out for and he
2:48:39just wasn't displaying like genuine
2:48:41symptoms of having this disorder it
2:48:43honestly seemed like a desperate attempt
2:48:45to be seen as mentally ill in order to
2:48:47get away with his crime I guess there
2:48:49were several different doctors that were
2:48:51brought in and they had several
2:48:53different opinions none of them thought
2:48:55that he had multiple personality
2:48:56disorder however most of them thought
2:48:59that he did have paranoid schizophrenia
2:49:01and he was diagnosed with that in the
2:49:03end doctors thought that these
2:49:05personalities that gase claimed to have
2:49:08were actually just voices in his head it
2:49:10was just his schizophrenia and because
2:49:12of this diagnosis gas's defense team
2:49:16decided it would be best for him to try
2:49:17and plead not guilty to the murders and
2:49:20say that he just like wasn't of sound
2:49:22mind at the time when he committed them
2:49:24but the prosecution didn't agree with
2:49:26that at all they thought that gasey was
2:49:29in full control of his behavior and they
2:49:31said that it was evident in the way that
2:49:33he went about things he intentionally
2:49:35tried to cover up and get away with his
2:49:38murders if he was mentally ill he
2:49:40wouldn't realize that what he was doing
2:49:42was wrong really and he repeated this
2:49:45process over 30 times so once G's team
2:49:49realized that they wouldn't really be
2:49:51able to get away with the mentally ill
2:49:53excuse they decided to switch up their
2:49:56story completely and I can't believe
2:49:57this they tried to say that the deaths
2:49:59were accidental they tried to say that
2:50:02most if not all of John Wayne gase's
2:50:05victims had died from erotic
2:50:07asphixiation so they'd all consented to
2:50:10being choked or strangled during sex and
2:50:14at some point things kind of got out of
2:50:16hand and it ended fatal although that
2:50:19was never the intent supposedly it was a
2:50:21consensual sexual act that just got out
2:50:24of hand accidentally and no one was to
2:50:27blame you know I'm not sure how on Earth
2:50:31you could do that 33 times in a row 33
2:50:34times in a row if that happened once if
2:50:37you had a sexual partner and you were
2:50:39doing this consensually and they died in
2:50:42the middle of sex by accident why are
2:50:43you repeating that 32 times just just to
2:50:46see if it's going to happen again what
2:50:48and you just burying the bodies every
2:50:50time you you dug out a whole grave
2:50:52underneath your house to just keep
2:50:54burying your failed sexual partners and
2:50:56that just don't make sense not even a
2:50:58little bit not even not even a tiny bit
2:51:00anyway sorry I'm getting a bit heed so
2:51:02during the murder trial uh they were
2:51:05calling up a bunch of different
2:51:06Witnesses including uh gas's old Lodgers
2:51:09David crown and Michael Rossy his
2:51:11attempted victims that had managed to
2:51:13get away um even some old like KFC
2:51:16employees and workers that he'd known of
2:51:18his surviving victims took the stand and
2:51:21he was being quizzed for a long time
2:51:23about this they were making him go into
2:51:25like details of his ordeal and actually
2:51:28at one point he threw up as he was
2:51:31recounting all these details it was so
2:51:33clear how traumatized he was and
2:51:35throughout these victim statements gasy
2:51:37was seen laughing and smiling and
2:51:40smirking as if he was enjoying listening
2:51:42to the details of what he'd done to
2:51:45these boys enjoying hearing how
2:51:47traumatized they were all in all the
2:51:50trial lasted a month and a half and when
2:51:52it started gasy was super confident he
2:51:55was cocky I really think he thought he
2:51:58was getting away with this but as time
2:52:00went on as the trial went on his
2:52:02confidence dwindled as he saw just how
2:52:06bad he looked in this trial and by week
2:52:08five gasy actually wrote a really long
2:52:11letter to the judge saying that he
2:52:13wanted a retrial because he didn't like
2:52:15the way that his lawyer had gone about
2:52:17things he felt like his lawyer had
2:52:19actually acted in a way that was
2:52:20detrimental to his case in the letter
2:52:23gasy said that he didn't agree with the
2:52:25insanity plea he didn't want to give
2:52:27that plea and he actually wanted to
2:52:29testify for himself but his lawyers
2:52:31weren't going to let him he was saying
2:52:33that his lawyers just wanted to do
2:52:35things their way and he wanted to do
2:52:37things his way and the judge basically
2:52:39wrote back and said shut up he was
2:52:42basically like look we're not doing a
2:52:43retrial if you want to take the stand
2:52:45and testify you can no one's stopping
2:52:48you lawyer can't stop you doing that but
2:52:49we're not going to retrial and once the
2:52:52judge said that gasy shut up completely
2:52:55he was just like yeah no never mind I
2:52:56don't want to take the stand anymore at
2:52:58the end of the trial the prosecution
2:53:00called John Wayne gasi the worst of all
2:53:03murderers and said that he had caused
2:53:05more human Devastation than many Earthly
2:53:08catastrophes he had killed more people
2:53:11than a lot of earthquakes than a lot of
2:53:13hurricanes had Gay's defense came back
2:53:16to that and said that he was just a man
2:53:18driven by compulsions that he was unable
2:53:20to control he was mentally ill and
2:53:23therefore not at fault for any of this
2:53:26his team said that they really didn't
2:53:28think that gasey would benefit from
2:53:30being behind bars from just being like
2:53:31Locked Away In A Cell they said that he
2:53:33needed treatment he needed help he
2:53:35needed medication and counseling and and
2:53:38psychiatrists he needed hospitalizing
2:53:41not a prison cell the prosecution argued
2:53:45that the insanity plea that they were
2:53:47trying to put in was was a sham and that
2:53:49it was an insult to actual genuinely
2:53:52mentally ill people there was evidence
2:53:54that John Wayne gasy had planned and
2:53:56premeditated his murders he had acted in
2:53:59a very calm cool controlled way
2:54:02throughout the whole thing so the jury
2:54:03went to deliberate their verdict and it
2:54:05took them just two hours to come back
2:54:08and find John Wayne gasy guilty of all
2:54:1133 counts of murder plus a bunch of
2:54:15counts of sexual assault on top of that
2:54:17the jury was then asked to go back and
2:54:19deliberate again this time to see if
2:54:22they think John Wayne gasy should be put
2:54:24up for the death penalty if he should be
2:54:26executed and again it really didn't take
2:54:29them much time at all to come back and
2:54:31say that he should be executed John
2:54:34Wayne gas's death date was then set for
2:54:37June 2nd 1980 but he actually sat on
2:54:40death row for 14 years he never ended up
2:54:44dying on that day he died 14 years later
2:54:46he was just chilling in prison for 14
2:54:49years basically I think it's because he
2:54:51tried to appeal the decision so many
2:54:53times that it just kept having to like
2:54:55get pushed back and back and back I
2:54:56don't know if that was just a tactic for
2:54:58him to like stay alive a bit longer I
2:55:00don't know cuz realistically was it ever
2:55:02going to get overturned no you're John
2:55:04Wayne gasy you're the killer clown in
2:55:06those 14 years that he was just chilling
2:55:09in prison just on death row John Wayne
2:55:12gasy did a lot of press interviews a lot
2:55:15yeah for a serial killer he did a lot of
2:55:17press interviews in these interviews
2:55:19there's quite a few interesting quotes
2:55:20actually in one of them he said that he
2:55:23didn't believe in hitting children what
2:55:26a 33 time murderer torturer rapist
2:55:30doesn't believe in hitting children I
2:55:32mean what he also collaborated with an
2:55:35author to publish a book and this oh the
2:55:38title of this book ma'am it was called
2:55:41buried dreams and essentially this book
2:55:43was just like a serial killer biography
2:55:46of his life and he gave some details
2:55:49about some of the murders I don't know
2:55:51how that book was allowed to be made and
2:55:52I'll be fuming if he made any money off
2:55:54that but there was actually an upside to
2:55:56this book being made because gasy went
2:55:59into quite a bit more detail in this
2:56:01book than he had in his confession to
2:56:03the police and this book actually led to
2:56:06two more of the unidentified bodies
2:56:09eventually being identified I will have
2:56:11named them in this video so I don't know
2:56:13which two bodies they were but at least
2:56:15we know about them now also in his time
2:56:17on death rad John Wayne gasey actually
2:56:19ended up getting into a fight with
2:56:21another serial killer named Henry
2:56:23brisban they'd always had power
2:56:25struggles between the two of them
2:56:27between gase and Brisbane because they
2:56:29were both the serial killers of the wing
2:56:32you know they both wanted to be like Top
2:56:34Dog the scariest guy on that prison Ward
2:56:37or whatever they wanted to be king of
2:56:39the serial killers so they would both
2:56:41always have these fights these arguments
2:56:43and then one day Henry brisban turns
2:56:45around and he's made a makeshift knife
2:56:48and he stabbed John Wayne gasi in the
2:56:51arm I think yeah in the arm random so
2:56:54gasi had to be taken to the prison
2:56:56hospital he got some stitches and gas's
2:56:59final death date was rescheduled for May
2:57:0210th 1994 and his last words ever to his
2:57:06lawyer were taking my life will not
2:57:09compensate for the loss of others the
2:57:11state is murdering me the day before his
2:57:13execution John Wayne gasy was allowed to
2:57:15have a picnic on Prison grounds with his
2:57:18family in order to say goodbye to them
2:57:20um but like I said earlier what family I
2:57:23don't know who showed up to that picnic
2:57:24I really couldn't find much about it cuz
2:57:26he really didn't have any family in the
2:57:28end did he that night gasy had his final
2:57:31meal his death Ro meal do you want to
2:57:33know what he had consisted of a bucket
2:57:35of KFC chicken a dozen deep fried shrimp
2:57:38a pound of strawberries and a bottle of
2:57:40Diet cook he then went and prayed with a
2:57:43Catholic priest and then he was sent
2:57:45straight to the execution chamber at
2:57:47like one a.m. they didn't even let him
2:57:49sleep and then go there in the morning
2:57:51to be killed he was just going to they
2:57:53were just going to do it now just get it
2:57:54over with it was going to be done by
2:57:56lethal injection and it was but
2:57:58everything didn't quite go to plan so
2:58:01the way that the lethal injection works
2:58:03or worked in this instance was that gase
2:58:06was going to be given three different
2:58:08drugs one after the other after the
2:58:10other the first one is to sedate the
2:58:12person which is is supposed to try and
2:58:15make it like the most humane way of
2:58:17killing someone like they're not going
2:58:18to feel anything they're just out cold
2:58:20and then they die they fall asleep
2:58:21forever the second injection that they
2:58:24get is to paralyze all their muscles and
2:58:27then the third injection is finally the
2:58:29one that kills them that is the one that
2:58:31stops the heart and causes them to die
2:58:33so yeah like I said they're given one
2:58:35and then the other and then the other so
2:58:38they set him all up everything's going
2:58:40well they get the IV in his arm and they
2:58:42inject the first one to Sedar in but as
2:58:45they inject it into like you know the
2:58:47the tubes and everything it crystallized
2:58:50in the tube they couldn't get it into
2:58:53gas's body this was really weird this
2:58:55had never happened before so they had to
2:58:57disconnect it all and like get new
2:58:59equipment and remeasure out all the
2:59:01different you know things so yeah anyway
2:59:03they disconnected it all reconnected it
2:59:05all injected him and this time it worked
2:59:09and John Wayne gy was executed the
2:59:11Killer Clown was pronounced dead just
2:59:13before 1:00 a.m. on May 10th 1994 his
2:59:17last words ever would kiss my ass after
2:59:21his death John Wayne gas's brain was
2:59:23actually sent off for testing because
2:59:26what the hell went on there I don't know
2:59:28if they ever really found anything but
2:59:30it's actually still preserved in for
2:59:32Malahide to this day John Wing gas's
2:59:34brain just exists somewhere in like a
2:59:36jar I find that so crazy the rest of his
2:59:38body was cremated and one of the saddest
2:59:40things about this case is that five of
2:59:43John Wayne gas's 33 victims are still
2:59:46unidentified to this day they found
2:59:48their remains but they can't identify
2:59:50them and none of their families know
2:59:52where they are or what happened to them
2:59:54but yeah that is everything for this
2:59:57really really long case I hope you
