Ep.2: When We Were Driving Down Touhy

In this episode of Buried: Inside the John Wayne Gacy Investigation, the Des Plaines police are searching for missing teenager Robert Piest, and there is one man they are interested in talking to: a local contractor last seen speaking with Robbie inside Nisson Pharmacy moments before he disappeared. In this haunting episode, listeners hear exclusive, never-before-heard recordings of John Wayne Gacy recounting the night Robbie Piest vanished, casually describing how he left the pharmacy with the teenager and drove down Touhy Avenue. But what follows is even more unsettling. Gacy’s detached recollection of the hours that came after—the phone calls, the routine—reveals a chilling indifference. He coldly describes the aftermath of an abduction and ultimate murder as if it were any ordinary evening. The result is a chilling portrait, told by the son of Gacy’s defense attorney, of a serial killer so practiced in deception that even his own words sound ordinary.
