S5 E5: The Crawl Space

In December 1978, investigators digging beneath John Wayne Gacy's Chicago house found not one grave, but dozens — 26 bodies in a dirt crawl space, more on the property, and four more recovered from the river. This episode follows the weeks-long excavation and the painstaking work of naming the victims through dental records, X-rays, and the families who never stopped looking. A flashlight in the dirt. A grid mapped in the ground. Names, one by one, coming back into the light. New episodes daily — one complete case every season. Music by SINIUS (Free Music Archive, CC-BY 4.0).
