What you can learn from John Wayne Gacy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have studied serial murder for many years and John Wayne Gacy is still one of the most disturbing killers of our time. If we can learn anything at all from Gacy it would be that appearances can be deceiving. Gacy gave most people the impression that he was a benign family man and civil servant. Gacy did in fact give warning signs that all was not well within his mind but he somehow fell through the cracks and was able to murder at least 33 young men and boys. Gacy was a malignacy on the human race and in a more perfect world he should have been shut down before he was allowed to kill a single person. But of course we do not live in a perfect world, the most we can do at this point is to try to learn from the past and try to prevent any future killers like Gacy.

Why did John Wayne Gacy only kill men?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

John Wayne Gacy's crimes were sexual in nature. It is a fact that male homosexual serial killers target those that appeal to them sexually, which for Gacy was young men. Just as was true of Jeffrey Dahmer in Wisconsin and Randy Kraft in California.

Serial killer Ted Bundy was heterosexual, he killed only young college-aged women, because that is the type the appealed to him sexually. When a male serial killer targets those of the same sex, they are usually gay.

How did the criminal justice system fail or work in the John Gacy case?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm not convinced it did fail. When released from prison on child molestation charges he reported to his parole officer and followed all the rules, becoming a 'model' citizen. Unfortuneatly, the American prison system doesn't have a crystal ball. There was no indication he would reoffend upon his release.
