When does Conversations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes premiere on Netflix?
The series will be available for viewers to watch on Wednesday, April 20, 2022.
It has three parts and features previously unheard audio from John Wayne Gacy’s discussions with his legal team.
It was directed by Joe Berlinger, who is also responsible for Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes; Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel; and Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich.
This three-part series searches for an explanation as to how Gacy managed to murder at least 33 people in the mid-1970s before being caught.
Who was John Wayne Gacy?
John Wayne Gacy was a serial killer and rapist, who assaulted and murdered at least 33 young males in Cook County, Illinois.
He buried most under his house and in his back yard, while other bodies were recovered from the nearby Des Plaines River.
He is known as the “Killer Clown” to some because he was known for dressing up as a clown for local birthday celebrations and events.
He was also a local contractor, who often hired young men to do jobs for him.
Many of these young men were reported missing by concerned family members, but it took Gacy being arrested for two sexual assaults before police began to look into him as a potential suspect in the disappearances.
