John Wayne Gacy investigation leads to breakthrough in separate, 36-year-old cold case
FOX6 ^ | September 24, 2015

Because of John Wayne Gacy, John Doe No. 89 now has a name.

It’s Andy Drath, who as a teenage boy fit the profile of many of the serial killer’s victims. Authorities don’t think Drath was one of them, though investigators looking into Gacy’s past did manage to put two and two together in a major breakthrough in a 36-year-old cold case and major relief to Drath’s family.

I believe, if I’m not mistaken that Gein was severely abused as a child- beign forced to live in a shed alongside his dead infant brother who was buried I nthere- He might have been forced to bury him? I’m not usre if this is the same person- or not- but I remember seeing soemthi9gn similar to this on some criem show awhile back-

They say even his clown make-up depicts something wrong. Clowns will never use sharp pointed edges around the mouth, it generates a negative, visceral response in very young children. It denotes a snarling, mean and/or scary caricature of a human face that scares little kids.

I think Ted Bundy was supposedly a Republican.

Not that I know of. His brother died during a brushfire on the property. It was suspected Ed had killed him.

The movie Psycho was loosely based on him.

Read the Wiki entry it will make your skin crawl. He actually only killed two women but dug up graves and stole women’s corpses to make lamps and assorted other crazy stuff. Skulls were found all over the farm.

There was a claim of necrophilia but was never proven as he actually hated women from being brought up with his mom constantly telling him all women were evil prostitutes.

Truly a sick situation all around. He was also found to be schizophrenic.

One of the women he actually killed, he had her hanging like a deer in the barn completely field dressed.

But the pointy mouthed ones will scare even more. Child psychologists say that to kids, it looks like a snarl.

I think it might be- Did it have a scene in it where they went to the house and found all kinds of body parts and where he was skinning them hanging from meathooks? If so m, then Yep- I’ve mixed the two up- I don’t recall what the slingblade character was convicted of?

See, thats’ what I’m remembering from the show- When the police went to the place, they found a woman hanging from hooks or something?

I’ll check it out though- There was another fella in England who did similar stuff- He was a very bad dude too- He killed lots of people though-

I dunno- maybe I’m mixing all three thigns- the movie and two accounts lol

For murder....but dang I can’t think of who it was. Later in the show he confronts his father and turns out he had a baby brother (maybe a sister) and they made him bury it....his childhood was horrible. I don’t think there was any animal processing in Sling Blade but in the end he commits another murder which had the crowds cheering cause this POS needed to die.....lol......been a long time since I watched it but you sure did sympathize with Billy Bob Thornton’s character.

Yeah- that’s it- now I recall the scene=-

[[but you sure did sympathize with Billy Bob Thornton’s character]]

He did an excellent job of acting in that movie- really had the character down pat- He really pulled off appearing mentally unstable-
