4. John Wayne Gacy
Serial killer John Wayne Gacy’s last words were “kiss my ass” before he was killed by lethal injection in Crest Hill, Illinois. This may be an indication that he wasn’t sorry for his heinous crimes. Gacy was 52 when he died, and was executed in 1994, as punishment for killing no less than 33 boys between the years of 1972 and 1978. However, he was only convicted for 12 of the murders. He spent 14 years on death row before his execution. Gacy dressed up in a psychotic clown outfit to carry out his crimes, which is why he was called the Killer Clown. Gacy’s first victim was stabbed to death, and the remaining victims were strangled to death. Gacy was born in Chicago and had two children, a son and a daughter. There are also reports that Gacy was constantly belittled by his father and felt that he was inferior to his sisters. His troubled childhood may have contributed to his criminal activity.
