CrimePsych

For those of you who are unfamiliar with some of the better known serial killers, John Wayne Gacy was one of the most prolific and infamous serial killers in the history of the United States. He was sentenced to death in the electric chair, which was carried out back in 1994, for the murder of 33 people. As the story goes, he could have continued for a lot longer – he was an organised killer and a sexual sadist who disposed of the bodies of his victims in the crawl space of his house. It was only when he ran out of room under his house that he started to dispose of the bodies in the local rivers, which ultimately led to his capture.

Here though we have on offer some of the art works that this demented and evil individual painted before his death. In the next few weeks we will write up a paper detailing everything that went on in the case as well as put up crime scene photos, transcripts from his interrogation and comments made by legendary FBI profiler Robert K Ressler (retired), who coincidentally is one of my favourite true crime writers and has personally been involved with hundreds of well known cases in his time. From memory, one of these art works was actually painted for Mr Ressler, i believe the self-portrait, but i will confirm that at a later stage.
