The Real Story Of John Wayne Gacy-- By The Man Who Helped Catch Him
He was a model citizen. A hospital volunteer. And one of the most sadistic serial killers of all time. But few people could see the cruel monster beneath the colorful clown makeup that John Gacy wore to entertain children in his Chicago suburb. Few could imagine what lay buried beneath his house of horrors--until a teenaged boy disappeared before Christmas in 1978, leading prosecutor Terry Sullivan on the greatest manhunt of his career.
Reconstructing the investigation--from records of violence in Gacys past, to the gruesome discovery of 29 corpses of abused boys in Gacys crawlspace and four others found in the nearby river--Sullivans shocking eyewitness account takes you where few true crime books ever go: inside the heart of a serial murder investigation and trial.
This updated edition features new revelations that have emerged using DNA evidence to confirm the identities of additional victims--and 16 pages of dramatic photos.
An unnerving true crime story of murder, terror, and justice. --Dallas Morning News

Killer Clown is a fast-paced, suspenseful account of the pursuit and prosecution of Americas most notorious mass murderer.
Gripping study ... for true-crime addicts.
Publishers Weekly
You will learn more in this book about the daily activities of a police department than you will from any number of Ed McBain novels or episodes of Hill Street Blues.
The Charleston News & Courier
As with a good mystery story, to the very end of Killer Clown we find ourselves still rooting for good to triumph over evil, yet fearing that the dice may be loaded the other way.
Chicago Tribune
For those who have nearly forgotten John Wayne Gacy Killer Clown is a chilling reminder.

with love and thanks
I am deeply indebted and most grateful to many people for their help on this manuscript. Any attempt to credit everyone would be futile. Nonetheless, with apologies to others, I thank my investigator Greg Bedoe; Sgt. Joe Hein; former Assistant States Attorney Larry Finder; my writer (and his patience) the late Peter Maiken; my trial partners, Bill Kunkle and Bob Egan; Officers Albrecht, Hachmeister, Robinson, Schultz, and Tovar; and my sister, Kathy Tully.
My thanks, finally and simply, to my faithful friends, family, and staff for their endurance through it all. I would also like to thank Anne Marie Saviano for all her hard work in preparing the 2013 Update.

INVESTIGATION
Monday
December 11, 1978
Kim Byers couldnt decide what to do with the photo receipt. Had it been a customers order, she simply would have given that person the stub from the envelope. But these were her own photographs, which she could easily identify when they came back from the lab. They were prints she planned to give to her sister for Christmas, now just two weeks away.
It was 7:30 P.M. when Kim, one of several teenagers working at Nisson Pharmacy in Des Plaines, Illinois, had used a brief lull in customer traffic to process her order. Nissons was in a nondescript, one-story building in a small shopping center. Its glass front was papered with signs advertising sale items. Among its neighbors were a 7-Eleven, a Gold Medal Restaurant, and a liquor store. Across busy Touhy Avenue lay the northern perimeter of Chicagos OHare International Airport. Inside Nissons, you smelled the usual drugstore aroma of candies and scented notions, while your ears absorbed the recurring thunder of jets.
Kim logged the order number in the record book and tore off the receipt. After a moments thought, she stuck it in a pocket of the parka she was wearing. While she was working at the cash register she had borrowed the coat to protect her from the drafts at the front door.
Rob Piest, whose parka Kim had on, was now midway through his after-school shift at Nissons. Rob was a fifteen-year-old sophomore at Maine West High School, and hed worked at the pharmacy since the previous summer. Although Kim was two years older, Rob and she had dated occasionally. Mature for his age, Rob usually went out with older girls, and Kim was attracted to the handsome boy with the trim athletic build, shaggy brown hair, and wide smile. Tonight, however, the smile was not in evidence as he stocked shelves in silence: Phil Torf, one of the owners of the pharmacy, had just turned down his request for a raise.
Im going to quit and find another job, Rob told Kim.
Dont quit now, Kim advised him. Youll probably get a Christmas bonus.
Yeah, Rob answered, but I need the money now.
Rob would turn sixteen in March, and he wanted to buy a Jeep. He had saved $900, but he knew he couldnt afford the payments on the $2.85 an hour he was earning at Nissons.
Rob had just broken up with the first special girlfriend in his life, but he hoped for a reconciliation, and having his own wheels would help. He wanted a Jeep, too, because of his interest in camping and the wilderness. Three merit badges shy of Eagle rank, he was tiring of the Boy Scouts but not of the outdoors. He had become a skilled nature photographer, and with a tough vehicle he could explore country that roads never crossed.
A dedicated athlete, Rob was training for the sophomore gymnastics team, but on that Monday afternoon hed left practice early: he wanted to stop at K-Mart to buy fish to feed his snakes. (Snakes were only some of the pets the Piests kept. Several years earlier, much to the delight of Rob and his brother and sister, the family had inherited a relatives menagerie of several dozen animals.)
As usual after school, Robs mother, Elizabeth, was waiting in her car for him, and as usual they were both on a tight schedule. She had just come from her job as a telephone operator in a chemical company to drive him home for a quick meal. After that, she or Robs father, Harold, would drive him to Nissons shortly before 6 oclock and pick him up after he finished work at 9. Tonights routine was different only because of the stop at K-Mart (which was unsuccessfulthe fish, Rob decided, were too expensive).
Tonight was special, though, because it was Elizabeth Piests forty-sixth birthday. At home, she saw Rob looking at her birthday cake. Well have the party when you get home from work, she told him. Rob bent over to hug the familys two German shepherds, Caesar and Kelly, who had bounded into the kitchen to greet him.
Heres your dinner, Robs sister said as she scooped a hot ham and cheese sandwich off the grill.
Thanks, Kerry, Rob said, taking his meal on the run.
He and his mother went out into the winter night and got in the car for the eight-block drive to Nisson Pharmacy. Rob remarked that once he bought his Jeep, his mother wouldnt have to bother driving him to work. She smiled and said she didnt mind the trip at all.
Now the family would wait for Robs return to celebrate Elizabeths birthday. The Piests were always together on occasions like this. They were an uncommonly close family, and Rob was the center of it.
