Tuesdays with Gacy
Friday, November 24th, 2006
In 1992, when I was seventeen years old, I came across the prison address of John Wayne Gacy, serial killer of thirty-three young men. Convicted and sentenced to die (he was executed in 1994 by lethal injection), I decided to send a letter to Gacy on death row, just to see if he would respond. I told two of my friends about the plan and together we drafted a letter and sent it off. I was too chickenshit to list my own address for reply, so we listed the address of my friend James and waited to see if he would write back to us.
