John Wayne Gacy is undoubtedly one of the most dreaded serial killers in American history. He was active from the year 1967 to 1978, and during this timespan, he took the lives of 33 men of different age groups. His murderous streak ended when officials arrested him on December 21, 1978, and he was sentenced to death on March 13, 1980.
Finally, on May 10, 1994, he was executed at the Stateville Correctional Center with the use of lethal injection. According to ThoughtCo, this psychopath’s last words were, “Kiss my a**”.
According to Newsweek, four months after Gacy’s arrest, his home was demolished. The land where it stood remained vacant for a long time. However, in 1986, the space had a three-bedroom and two-bathroom house built on it. Then, in 1988, a woman bought the house. Ever since then, it has had several owners from time to time.
As per reports, the latest update is that in 2021, the property was sold for $395,000.
