Dr. Jeffrey Smalldon

And it was called PDM, Painting, Decorating, and Modeling, I think, or Maintenance, maybe.

But he had a company, and he hired a lot of young boys to work with him.

And some of them disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

And in the end, he was convicted of 33 murders.

There were 26 bodies found buried in the crawl space underneath his house.

There were three others buried at other locations on his property.

And then when he ran out of space, he started disposing of them in the nearby Des Plaines River.

So he threw four in the river for a total of 33.

And he was arrested in December of 1978.

These killings had begun in 1972.

And he, like a lot of these predatory killers, he chose people who might not immediately be missed.

Maybe they had problems, they were addicted to drugs, they had legal issues.

And some of their families inquired, you know, what happened to so-and-so?

He was working for you.

And Gacy would say, well, you know how hard I was working to get him off drugs and put him on the straight and narrow.

And he disappeared one day.

I don't know where he went.

So there were any number of cases like that where people inquired, but they were relatively quick to believe Gacy's bullshit.

about what really happened.

And in the end, what happened and got him arrested, it's really a creepy story.
