We expect that criminals will lie but not the police.

Bill Dorsch a retired Chicago homicide detective understood that people when accused of committing crimes, especially in homicide cases, would make conscious decisions to lie when questioned. He hated being lied to but his task as an investigator was to discover the truth no matter where it would take him.

He worked hard to gather evidence and testimony from individuals that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrator. The accumulation of his work was always focused on the presentation of his investigation at a later time in the courtroom. Only then, could the families of homicide victims find the answers that would hopefully bring closure to the loss of a loved one.

John Wayne Gacy was a monster of a man who walked among us. Not only the families of his victims; but citizens, especially those who lived in the Chicago area expected that law enforcement had done a complete and thorough investigation.

Dorsch knew Gacy and even had dinner in his home, the very home where the bodies of so many of his victims were later found. After Gacy's arrest, Dorsch responded to law enforcement requests to the public for information about possible victims and locations. However, that information was not welcomed and he was told "We don't want any more bodies" The City of Chicago rushed to get the case into court and obtain a conviction.

The authorities had ended their investigation with Gacy's arrest. With a heartless disregard for the victim's families, known and unknown, they not only buried Gacy but the truth along with him. At first, Dorsch felt betrayed and alone but it was the stories and the pleas for help that came from the families of some of Gacy's victims that persuaded him to begin his own investigation. Now, more than twenty years later he is able to reveal all that he has learned. He will reveal never-before-know information that should have been discovered in the weeks and months that followed Gacy's arrest. However, that never happened because law enforcement and certain people in government had decided that it was more important to protect themselves than to get the answers for the families of Gacy's victims.
