John Wayne Gacy pre-arrest P.D.M contractors 8213 W. Summerdale check signed from December 1978
Very pretty signed check on the 14th of December 1978 during the time he was still not convicted. This piece is in great condition and signed in full, John Wayne Gacy . Its also signed by his P.D.M contractor associate and bookkepper Gordon Nebel.
This is a significative date on the check as its on the same period and time that he would abduct and kill Robert Piest his last victim and victim that led to his arrest. This same exact date 12-14-1978 is refered to in the Killer Clown book as the day he was saying to his friend that he wanted to clear the air and where he couldn't take it anymore and was barely talking and admitting to all the murders as the police was closing in on him. This check is stamped numerous times and is no.3342. A great true crime collectible related to the John Gacy case.
John Wayne Gacy Jr.(March 17, 1942 – May 10, 1994) was an American Serial Killer and rapist. He sexually assaulted , tortured and murdered at least 33 teenage boys and young men between 1972 and 1978 in Cook County Illinois a part of metropolitan Chicago.
All of Gacy's known murders were committed inside his Norwood Park ranch house. His victims were typically induced to his address by force or déceptions, and all but one of his victims were murdered by either asphyxiation or strangulation with a make shift tourniquet; his first victim was stabbed to death. Gacy buried 26 of his victims in the crawl space of his home. Three other victims were buried elsewhere on his property, while the bodies of his last four known victims were discarded in the Des Plaines River.
Convicted of 33 murders, Gacy was sentenced to death on March 13, 1980, for 12 of those killings. He spent 14 years on death row before he was executed by lethal injection at Stateville Correctional Center on May 10, 1994.
Gacy became known as the "Killer Clown" because of his charitable services at fundraising events, parades, and children's parties where he would dress as "Pogo the Clown", a character he had devised.
