On their arrival, officers found Gacy had unplugged his sump pump , flooding the crawl space with water; to clear it, they simply replaced the plug and waited for the water to drain. After it had done so, evidence technician Daniel Genty entered the byfoot 8. Genty immediately shouted to the investigators that they could charge Gacy with murder, adding, "I think this place is full of kids". A police photographer then dug in the northeast corner of the crawl space, uncovering a patella. The two then began digging in the southeast corner, uncovering two lower leg bones. The victims were too decomposed to be Piest. As the body discovered in the northeast corner was later unearthed, a crime scene technician discovered the skull of a second victim alongside this body. Later excavations of the feet of this second victim revealed a further skull beneath the body. After being informed that the police had found human remains in his crawl space and that he would now face murder charges, Gacy told officers he wanted to "clear the air", adding he had known his arrest was inevitable since the previous evening, which he had spent on the couch in his lawyers' office. In the early morning hours of December 22, and in the presence of his lawyers, Gacy provided a formal statement in which he confessed to murdering approximately 30 young males—all of whom he claimed had entered his house willingly.

The Florida Sheriffs Association and the State Association of County Commissioners have agreed that the time has come for the state to share the escalating cost of building and operating county jails; and they have formed a joint Political Action Committee to generate public support. Here's how the crisis looks to them: State and federal court rulings have been trans- lated into new state regulations that will require expensive refinements in county jails —more man- power for one thing. These regulations are mandated by the state but counties will have to foot the bill, which is expected to total around $80 million. Officials say they can't get It was the worst. possible day for a Tallahassee press conference —March 30, the day President Reagan was that kind of blood out of the local tax turnip —espe- shot —but the Florida Sheriffs Association got its message cially when they are already paying for such jail- across nevertheless.

  • Views All Texts As Part of a Collective Culture from Which He May Sample
    "THIS IS WHAT IT IS TO BE HUMAN": THE DRAMA AND HISTORY OF CHARLES L. MEE JR. A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Elissa Schlueter, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Master's Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Thomas Postlewait, Adviser Dr. Alan Woods Adviser Department of Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Elissa Schlueter 2003 ABSTRACT In his career, Charles L. Mee, Jr. (1938- ) has moved between the fields of history and theatre. Between 1960 and 1965, Mee participated in the Off Off Broadway movement as a playwright and a journalist. From 1966 to 1999, Mee wrote nineteen books: two memoirs, three children’s books, and fourteen histories. In 1986, Mee returned to playwriting, with his Obie-award-winning Vienna: Lusthaus. The plays Mee created after 1986 are heavily influenced by his career as a historian. His plays have taken historical events as their topic. In addition, Mee creates his scripts as collages, sampling from a variety of literary and popular texts. Further, several of Mee’s plays are rewrites of other texts, including Caucasian Chalk Circle, Orestes, and The Trojan Women. Mee claims “there is no such thing as an original play,” and thus views all texts as part of a collective culture from which he may sample. Via his website, he then returns his work, copyright-free, to the culture for further use. Mee’s battle with polio (which he contracted in 1953) has also shaped his aesthetic view.

  • Serial Murder As Allegory: a Subconscious Echo Of
    SERIAL MURDER AS ALLEGORY: A SUBCONSCIOUS ECHO OF UNRESOLVED CHILDHOOD TRAUMA Robert Lyle Robertson BA (Beh. Sc.), Dip. Soc. Pl. School of Justice Studies, Faculty of Law Queensland University of Technology A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Justice (Research) 2004 KEYWORDS Serial murder Hermeneutics Life History Life Narrative Poisonous Pedagogy Allegory ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the notion that we may be able to more fully understand the etiology of serial murder. Specifically, it concludes that the behaviours of serial murderers can be allegorical of unresolved childhood trauma – that in the murderous actions of the adult there can be a depth of subconscious allegorical connection to the repressed (forgotten) and unresolved trauma of the murderer’s own childhood. The focus for this hermeneutic inquiry is the intersection that can be constructed between the phenomenon of serial murder and the assertion of the psychoanalyst Alice Miller that every perpetrator of violence was once a child who was (himself or herself) a victim. Alice Miller’s concept of Poisonous Pedagogy is explained and critiqued. Her belief that our childhoods tell the stories of our adult behaviours is questioned in light of the similar theoretical ground of Life History, Life Narrative, Psychobiography, and Psychoanalytic Narrative. Miller’s contention that there are directly allegorical connections between childhood abuse and adult murderous behaviours is illustrated by her analysis of the life of Jurgen Bartsch. A hermeneutic examination of the biographic records of two other serial murderers (Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy) is then undertaken to question the available support for Miller’s contentions.

  • Serial Killer Connections Through Cold Cases | National Institute of Justice
    15/06/2020 17:21 Page 1 of 31 An official website of the United States government, Department of Justice. Here's how you know Menu Home / Topics Serial Killer Connections Through Cold Cases Cold case investigations have revealed that, in many cases, the offenders are responsible for multiple crimes. Therefore, prioritizing cold case investigations can assist in both resolving crimes and preventing future ones. June 15, 2020 By: Eric Martin Dawn Elizabeth Schwarting Ruby J Chase There is a cold case[1] crisis in the United States. In 1965, approximately 80% of homicide cases were cleared, according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports,[2] but in 2017 only about 60% of homicide cases were resolved. An estimated 250,000 unresolved homicides exist in the United States, and more than 100,000 have accumulated in the past 20 years alone (see exhibit 1).[3] 15/06/2020 17:21 Page 2 of 31 20 Years of Accumulated Cold Cases (View larger image.) Data table: 20 Years of Cold Cases In part, limited resources have caused the crisis. Law enforcement agencies are stretched thin and often lack the personnel to adequately work cases as they happen. Cold cases are also difficult investigations, sometimes because of a lack of evidence. If there were easy solutions, resolution would have occurred at the time of the offense. As time passes, the likelihood of losing case file information, evidence, and witnesses increases. Another likely contributor to the country’s current cold case crisis is the number of serial killers operating in the United States.
