In the end, 33 bodies were discovered, 29 in the house and another four nearby. Gacy went to trial, was quickly convicted and executed in May 1994. Then came the wave of autopsies in the form of books and films, some good and some bad. If you now believe there is nothing more to say, you will change your mind after watching a brilliant and provocative “John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise”, a six-part, six-hour documentary that premiered Thursday at Peacock. . Beautifully made, judicious in its uses of archival footage and benefiting greatly from a long and rarely seen interview session in 1992 in the director’s office at Menard’s correctional center, conducted by FBI profiler Robert Ressler.
