Was John Wayne Gacy A Cannibal?
There is no evidence that John Wayne Gacy is a Cannibal. He would bring his victims back to his residence, give them wine or drugs, and then, while holding them bound, perform a "magic trick" on them. He would usually encourage his victims to do the same before tying his own hand behind his back and freeing himself with a key he was concealed. Sadly, after shackling his victims, he would rape, torture, and eventually kill them, frequently by tying a rope tourniquet around their necks. In order to hasten decomposition, he poured quicklime into the crawl area under his house, where 26 victims were buried. Four were dumped in the Des Plaines River, and three more were buried somewhere on the property.
