Gacy's muddy car

On Friday, December 22, 1978, Gacy confessed to police that he killed at least thirty people

and buried most of the remains of the victims beneath the crawl space of his house.

On the first day that the police began their digging, they found two bodies. One of the bodies was

that of John Butkovich who was buried under the garage. The other body was the one found

in the crawl space. As the days passed, the body count grew higher. Some of the victims

were found with their underwear still lodged deep in their throats.

Some victims were buried so close together that police believed they were probably killed

or buried at the same time. Gacy did confirm to police that he had on several occasions

killed more than one person in a day.

Numbered stakes indicate where the bodies of John Wayne Gacy's victims were found

in the crawl space beneath his suburban home. Twenty-nine bodies, all young males,

were recovered from Gacy's home. Four others were found in Illinois rivers.

The reason Gacy gave for them being buried so close together was that he was

running out of room and needed to conserve space.
