BURIED: Inside the John Wayne Gacy Investigation

Ep.1: Dead Man Talking

16 Oct 2025

Description

On his 21st birthday, Bob Motta II received the most unusual gift imaginable: a box of cassette tapes containing his father’s pre-trial interviews with John Wayne Gacy. For decades, Bob held onto those tapes, unsure what to do with them, or whether the world was ready to hear them.But the questions never stopped burning in his mind. How did the Des Plaines Police Department catch Gacy in just ten days when Chicago police couldn’t stop him for six years—during which 33 young men and boys were murdered? Why did that happen? How was it allowed to happen?Years later, those questions became the driving force behind Buried: Inside the John Wayne Gacy Investigation, an investigative podcast where Bob Motta revisits the case his father helped defend, exposes the investigation Chicago police never conducted, and uncovers secrets that the detectives who ultimately caught Gacy kept hidden for more than 40 years.This premiere episode brings listeners inside the host’s personal story and features never-before-heard pre-trial recordings of Gacy speaking with his defense lawyers about the case against him. These rare tapes, recorded before Gacy ever set foot in court, offer a chilling glimpse into the manipulative calm of one of America’s most notorious murderers.A groundbreaking true-crime investigation that exposes the story you thought you knew.
