Gay and Lesbian Adoption
In 1942 a baby was born in a Chicago hospital named John Wayne Gacy. He came from what seemed like a normal family. He grew up with his two sisters, his mother, and his father. However, it was not known by anyone that Gacy's father was both verbally and physically abusing him. This would ultimately affect Gacy for the rest of his life. In 1968 Gacy was indicted by the a grand jury allegedly committing the act of sodomy with a young teenage boy, and sent to prison for ten years. Gacy spent only 18 months in jail and was set free on parole. It was the start of Gacy's killing spree that would last over ten years. He raped and killed in all, up to 33 young teenage boys. Gacy was not a suspect for any of the missing children until 1980. When the police searched Gacy's house, they found 28 bodies buried in his house. Of the bodies found, 27 were buried in his crawl space. The other four victims were found later in local rivers. Throughout Gacy's trial, he was said to show no emotions of regret or sympathy. John Wayne Gacy is still considered one of the most dangerous and famous serial killers of all time.
Another "co-morbid" disorder I would suggest Gacy having, would be depression. I feel this because of Gacy's past. His father was an abusive alcoholic and treated Gacy and his sisters and mother horribly. Gacy was also socially withdrawn from society, and interest in life. He lived for ten years in his own sick world. He also rarely showed expressions of feeling or emotion. osis of John Wayne Gacy is that he suffers from schizophrenia. There are many symptoms that make up schizophrenia, and two of them are clearly seen in Gacy. One positive symptom of schizophrenia is having extremely inappropriate emotions or actions. Gacy had very strange emotions. He enjoyed raping young teenage boys and then killing them. His actions were bizarre as well. The act of rape and murder are inappropriate. Also being able to bury and live with over 25 dead bodies is very unusual as well. Another symptom clearly seen in Gacy is his flat and unemotional personality. At the trial, Gacy seemed to be lapsed into flat affect. This means that he was in a zombie like state, showing absolutely no emotion at all. He had no regret for the crime
