S5 E4: The Vanishing Years
Show notes
Between 1975 and 1978, young men kept vanishing around Chicago contractor John Wayne Gacy — employees arguing over unpaid wages, teenagers digging trenches in a crawl space, friends out together — and nobody connected the disappearances until it was far too late. This episode traces the vanishing years: John Butkovich, Gregory Godzik, John Szyc, and the warnings their families gave that went unheard. A car with the keys still in the ignition. A dead boy's car, sold on. How many warnings does a city need? New episodes daily — one complete case every season. Music by SINIUS (Free Music Archive, CC-BY 4.0).
