From a disturbing stint at a Las Vegas mortuary to running a secretive “gentlemen’s club” for young boys, the red flags were everywhere. But the system ignored them—until it was too late.When Gacy’s crimes finally surfaced in 1967, he was convicted of sodomy and assault.A psychiatric evaluation labeled him as an antisocial psychopath.But instead of being locked away forever, Gacy was released after just 18 months.That decision would cost 33 young boys their lives.Join Al and Tony as they rip apart Gacy’s early years, exposing the arrogance, the lies, and the system’s shocking failures. This episode will enrage you, horrify you, and—true to Murder Phone style—find humor in the absurdity of it all.

    Season 7, Slipping Through the Cracks of Justice – Part 2: The Deadly Charade of John Wayne Gacy

    In this chilling second installment, host Tony Ciaglia—The Serial Killer Whisperer—is joined by his father Al and brother Joey as they plunge even deeper into the twisted descent of John Wayne Gacy. After serving a laughable eighteen months in prison for sexually assaulting a teenage boy, Gacy slithers his way back into society… and right under the radar. He moves in with his mother, launches his construction business, and begins building what would become a house of horrors—brick by brick, lie by lie. As the trio unpacks Gacy’s so-called reinvention, they unravel his early Chicago crimes: from the abduction and assault of a boy at the Greyhound station to the horrifying murder of sixteen-year-old Tim McCoy—his first known victim, buried in the crawl space of 8213 W. Summerdale Avenue. But McCoy wouldn’t be the last. Gacy’s deadly double life intensifies: a respected businessman by day, a monstrous predator by night. With the help of a clueless parole system and law enforcement asleep at the wheel, Gacy evades justice again and again—even after multiple arrests and red flags. By 1975, he’s married, living with stepdaughters, and actively stacking bodies beneath their feet. It’s bold. It's brutal. It’s infuriating. And it’s packed with the black humor, raw horror, and chilling truths only Murder Phone delivers. Listen now… before Gacy slithers into your nightmares.

Teenagers disappear, one after another—many of them Gacy’s own employees—while neighbors hear muffled screams in the night and do nothing. The show dissects Gacy’s depraved “Cruising Years,” revealing a sociopath emboldened by silence, protected by sealed records, and empowered by his reputation as a charming businessman and civic clown.

    Season 7 Slipping Through The Cracks Of Justice John Wayne Gacy Part 4 “Handcuffs and Horror”

    Step inside the twisted world of John Wayne Gacy—a suburban home that looked ordinary on the outside but hid unimaginable horrors within.  In this episode, Tony and Al dive into Gacy’s chilling methods: his Tiki Bar of terror, the “magic trick” handcuffs that became instruments of torture, and his monstrous transformation from jovial host to sadistic predator.  You’ll hear survivor accounts that expose the darkness behind his grinning clown mask, and we’ll reveal how his young employee, David Cram, dug more than just trenches in Gacy’s crawl space—he dug graves.  Jeffrey Rignall’s face was burned from chloroform, his eyes haunted with terror. He reported the nightmare — the torture — the agony. The police did nothing. Ignored him. Why? Because he was gay. But Jeffrey refused to be just another victim. He hunted his own monster — tracked the Oldsmobile to 8213 West Summerdale. Handed the police Gacy on a silver platter. And they charged Gacy… with assault and battery. No search. No real investigation. Just another failure in a twisted circus. And the Clown Show kept rolling. So did the killing. This is the story of how fear, deception, and violence turned an ordinary house into a slaughterhouse.

    Season 7 Slipping Through The Cracks of Justice John Wayne Gacy Part 5 “The Horror Unfolds”

    In this harrowing episode, Tony Ciaglia and his father Al peel back the bloodstained layers of John Wayne Gacy’s final killing spree—when the bodies no longer fit beneath the floorboards and the monster behind the clown makeup grew more careless, arrogant, and vicious.  From the chilling murder of 15-year-old Robert Piest to the river-dumped remains of Gacy’s forgotten victims, this episode tracks the unraveling of one of America’s most sadistic predators.  With raw emotion, brutal honesty, and their signature blend of dark commentary, Tony and Al expose the cracks in the justice system that allowed Gacy to hunt for so long—and spotlight the heroes who finally brought his circus of death to an end. This isn’t just a true crime episode — it’s a descent into the festering hell beneath 8213 Summerdale Avenue. A place where innocence was slaughtered, and a predator played judge, jury, and executioner with a smile. Listener discretion is not only advised — it's necessary. The horror is real. The pain is still palpable. And the story isn’t over yet.

    Season 7 Slipping Through The Cracks of Justice John Wayne Gacy Part 6 “Echos From The Crawl Space”

    Tony and Al break down the Gacy arrest in Murder Phone style.  How does a man diagnosed as a dangerous sociopath in 1968, sentenced to ten years for sodomizing a teenage boy, walk free after just 18 months… and then go on to torture, rape, and murder over 30 young men and boys? In this explosive episode, Tony and Al rip the mask off the system that protected John Wayne Gacy. We’re talking about arrests that vanished, parole violations that were flat-out ignored, and a criminal record sealed tighter than his crawl space. A survivor came forward. Families begged police to listen. And still… silence. How does that happen? We’ll tell you exactly how. Because Gacy didn’t fool the world — the world let itself be fooled. He didn’t wear a mask… we just refused to look. Every missed red flag, every dismissed charge, every mother whose voice was silenced, was one more shovel of dirt piled on an innocent boy beneath Gacy’s floorboards.
