John Wayne, born in March 1942, was in the family the only son. In addition to him, Marion Elaine Robinson and John Stanley Gaysi raised daughters Joanne and Karen. Childhood, the boy was ordinary. He studied at a Catholic school, in his spare time he worked in a grocery shop and a panel of newspapers. That's just the home setting left much to be desired. Father drank, beat and humiliated children and wife. At an early age, John had health problems, in 1958 he suffered an operation on the brain, therefore began to attend school less and communicate with peers.
Geysi's teenager was subjected to sexual violence from the father's friend, a mentally sick neighbor of Donimal to the depraved action. Then the awareness came that communication with boys is much more interesting than with girls. At the same time, to share the experiences of John was not with whom. All this day after day, formed in the young man an understanding that his addictions go far beyond the generally accepted norms.
Throwing her studies, Gacy, no matter how surprisingly, hit politics - became an assistant to the representative of the Democratic Party and a member of the district youth chamber, the forge of future leaders.

In 1972, Gaysi moved from sexual perversions to murder. The first sacrifice of Timothy McKoy killed by chance. The guy prepared lunch and carelessly approached John with a knife in his hand, that he regarded as an attack.

In search of Robert Pist, the police once again examined the accommodation of Gaysi. Employees had to fit in astrochemical protection suits to extract the remains of 29 people. In the fact that another 4 were taken by river waters, John admitted himself. 8 corpses rotted so much that they were not subject to identification.
