John Wayne Gacy's Horror House - Des Plaines, IL

John Wayne Gacy was convicted of killing 33 teenage boys and young men inside his Des Plaines, Illinois home between 1972 and 1978. Gacy was executed for his crimes on May 10th, 1994.
The image above shows where he had hidden the bodies in his home, mainly below the floor boards. 
The crime scene photo above from 1978 shows police presence and a dumpster to dispose of building materials they pulled out of the house to excavate the bodies. The house was eventually torn down. In the image below taken in August of 2015, a new home has been built where Gacy's house once stood. You can see the house on the left has the same slope in the photo above and below to verify this is the exact location.
Gacy's original address was 8213 West Summerdale Avenue in Des Plaines, Illinois. The new home replacing Gacy didn't want that address, so the "technical" address is 8215 West Summerdale Avenue.
