S5 E1: The Man Next Door
Show notes
He was Pogo the Clown, a respected contractor and the neighbour everybody trusted — until a fifteen-year-old boy walked out of a Des Plaines pharmacy and never came home. In this season opener, Marcus traces how John Wayne Gacy built his respectable double life, and how Robert Piest's disappearance on 11 December 1978 finally brought police to the house on Summerdale Avenue. A mother waited in the pharmacy for her son; the answers waiting under that house would shock America. New episodes daily — one complete case every season.
