Through exclusive interviews conducted by host Bob Motta, listeners hear firsthand from the investigators who tracked Gacy during the final days of the manhunt—revealing how their relentless search exposed systemic failures and missed opportunities that allowed one of America’s most notorious serial killers to operate for years.
