The Recreation Of Murder Victims
Have you heard of the murder spree John Wayne Gacy wrought throughout Cook County, Illinois? This man murdered 33 people between 1972 and 1978 and became one of America’s most infamous serial killers. Gacy was known as the “Killer Clown” by the media, and his crimes spawned a wave of serial killer-related fiction. Forensic artists were recruited in 1980 to recreate the faces of nine of John Wayne Gacy’s victims with the intent of releasing these images to the public. The artists worked hard to give these victims back their identities, and many were recognized once the public received the images.
