In this episode of Unexplained Arkansas, your host Lisa discusses in the serial killer John Wayne Gacy's Connection to Arkansas.
John Wayne Gacy lives and works and hunts for young men in Chicago in 1972-1978--in that time frame he will brutally murder a known 33 young men. In Part 2, we pick up where the police are excavating in Gacy's crawl space. Over 4 months, they will find 33 victims bodies--only 22 victims will be identified by the time Gacy goes to trial for his murderous crimes in 1980. We will discuss how Gacy will detail for investigators his horrendous acts but will not always tell the truth. Gacy is sentenced to death on all 33 murder counts--we will cover his time in prison up until he is executed by lethal injection in 1994.
We will also discuss the Netflix and the Peacock documentaries; the tv show Gacy's sister interviews in called Evil Lives Here, his connection to Arkansas, his interviews from 1992 stating his innocence and what happened to his home on Summerdale.
I will also leave you with some questions--so make sure to reach out to me in comments, email or on social media.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
