The Clown and the Candyman

by ID
856

Two serial killers, Dean Corll and John Wayne Gacy, thousands of miles apart, brutally murdered over 60 teenage boys. The police said the murders were the work of these sole deranged killers, but for the first time we reveal that they were actually connected by a network of pedophiles which was partially financed by prominent members of American society. This is America's sordid secret.

    Wow!
    I think this is an incredibly powerful and well researched podcast. The weird bad reviews claiming it's a Q non or whatever conspiracy show are obviously fake maybe part of these crimes being told here. It's too much of the reviews repeating the exact same statements and obviously planned. This leads me to think that a few creeps might be lurking here because they are being exposed. Hurting, traumatizing, and destroying children is the most evil and horrific crime there is. Anyone who believes it isn't are the heartless delusional ones. This podcast is the truth stop defending evil by labeling it a conspiracy. Shame on you fake reviewers who don't care about keeping our children safe.

    Decent podcast but….
    Decent podcast but 6 commercials in the first 5:55 make it hard to get into.
  • AppRater2021
    Excellent
    Very professional and in my opinion thoroughly researched.

    Excellent reporting. New info for crime junkies
    As a true crime junkie and kid in Chicago who remembers the Gacy case in real time I almost passed this by thinking it’s probably the same old stuff. Nope. This kept me awake and fascinated on a long, lone car ride. The more I read the more I realize there are nefarious, dark people and they are often connected. This makes me think about the smiley faced killers and the likelihood of a similar, connected network of evil-sick-need to be exposed subhumans. And police who deny the evidence all along. The corruption runs deep. Isn’t MKULTRA survivor Cathy OBrien from MI also? Wonder if that’s connected.

    Shoddy
    It be great if you actually gave the source who first connected these two cases to North Fox Island

    Crazy Connections
    Great podcast. Interesting, well told and paced just right. Content is hard to hear but was done tastefully and they didn’t dig too deep, just enough for you to get the idea. Disturbing information. Can’t help but wonder why there was so many people like this during a specific period of time?

    This man stands out as the picture of courage and strength in this story, speaking out against a terrible machine of evil. He is right: watch your kids, sick people hide in families, camp, churches. Stop protecting these pedophiles because they make donations. And I agree with others who point out the language needs to change. No such thing as “child porn”. It is all child sex abuse material. No child is capable of engaging in pornography, and we should be calling it what it is: child rape and child sex abuse.

    Despite Some Reviews
    I absolutely loved this podcast. I feel as though the way it connected cases was really inquisitive.
  • <D.B>
    Narrator talks about herself too much
    It’s clear the narrator has some problems with her parents. This isn’t the place for that.
  • kayferguson13
    Excellent!
    The podcast did what LE should’ve done. Cops are idiots & there are only a small % of cops w/ the capability of expanding their brain to go farther than the nose on their face. I will always be amazed that cops label almost everyone a runaway. To hear ‘why did no one look for the boys’ is sickening. They didn’t look b/c they didn’t & don’t care. This angered me so much.

    Informative & high-quality true crime podcast
    True crime both fascinates and repels me—what makes people do the evil things they do?! I was first drawn to this podcast for its reporting on the Oakland county child killer case from the 1970s (still unsolved). This is an excellent podcast: the host is professional and thorough and its entire production—music, timing, sound quality—is superb. For all true crime solvers.

    Viennasunrise is a stupid person.

    Unethical and frustrating.
    I’m only on episode 3 but I feel that the interview with the survivor on the island was unethical and should not have been included in the podcast. That man suffered more than I can comprehend during his time on the island and for the producers of this podcast to include his panic attack for dramatic effect is disgusting. I understand that he chose to return to the island and that he’s entitled to that choice but don’t re-traumatize him and then include it in the podcast for your own gain. If you’re so bothered by what happened to the boys in this story then act like it. Also call rape rape. Don’t downplay it to make it more palatable for the audience.
  • spinne85
    Nice enough production, questionable research
    thought i was going to get an in-depth look into Dean Corll and John Wayne Gacy. Instead what you get is a suggestive narrative with little factual basis to hold it together. Pretty disappointing.
  • mle mke
    I like the show but have one major concern!
    This is all great information and worth your time. My only problem is a big one. There is no such thing as “child porn” or “child sex.” It is all rape. The language is troubling throughout. “Pictures of two men having sex with a young boy” should be “two men raping a young boy.” I appreciate your hard work.
  • baba la baba
    Torn
    Seems to be really well researched. However, the narration is poorly written. There are issues with basic grammar and shifting tenses. Also, Jacqueline should not have been the narrator. Her voice and chronic dry mouth are distracting.
  • biggiesmallzthepup
    Amazing
    Love this, offers a ton of new insight onto what many of us already suspected about gacy! That he didn’t work fully alone! Please make more episodes!
  • Pattijong
    Excellent podcast
    Would love to here or episodes
  • Dandylion666
    Not actual facts.
    I was in until the victim interviewed said he won an award for Wicca from the YMCA…. That just isn’t true. This is holdover Satanic Panic nonsense. I’m sure the victim really believed something happened but Satanic ritual abuse wasn’t real. Google it if you don’t believe me. Wasted my time on nonsense.
  • Rowstarboard
    Bravo!
    This is so good! I recommend it to everyone!
  • deathnest
    Very well done!
    I didn’t expect this podcast to be so good. I hung on every word and listened to it all in one evening. Very interesting
  • Lacey.K83
    Best podcast production.
    It was a pleasure to listen to. I didn’t feel like I was missing out on visual images. The descriptions were great! I enjoyed the podcast so much I watched it on ID. I need more episodes and more podcasts produced like this. Well done!!!
  • ReeRee68
    Must listen to for True Crime Enthusiasts
    Fresh, new material not repeated a hundred different ways on many other shows. I thought I knew everything on Gacy, guess again. A new perspective that makes sense and throws up a question in my head and probably yours too. The other cases, some completely new to me when put together, put them in a new light worth pondering. I just finished listening and need to listen again. Great research and guests. Narration is smooth and Jacqueline’s voice is like silk. Wish she did a lot more podcasts.
  • jiobanny
    Great
    Good work very
  • iagosant
    Best host
    Out of many serial format podcasts I’ve binged on recently, Jacqueline Bynon is my favorite. I’d love to hear more serial shows by her.
  • Supercharged Scottsman
    Bill List
    This is an amazing podcast, but I wonder if this story is some how linked to William Gerald List who operated the Seabrook Murder Mansion on Todville road.
  • Annoying102938
    Q-Anon Nonsense
    Laughable conspiracy theories.
  • crochet and listen
    Interesting
    I listened to this all in less than 2 days. Very interesting and so devastating to hear about the victims. I hope families can find peace in the work still being done to acknowledge the victims and identify the remaining unidentified victims.
  • Veganate
    Amazing
    How is this not more popular? Incredible work
  • MJ HALESTONES
    Fantastic!!
    I love these podcasts, I had no idea...This story is Bomb..Facts!! This story is told so well, fantastic job for all your effort & time to bring us a exhilarating podcast.Great great job!! Thank you
  • Juniors6028
    Not sure
    Only at episode 3. Narrators really leads the listener. Too many cliches, mediocre writing and can clearly tell she’s reading from the script. I question the accuracy and how everything ties together.
  • bjjmombeliever
    Terrifying
    Thank you for your countless hours in research! I hope justice is found for every victim!

    Clown and the Candyman
    Great series. Good companion to the tv series. You don’t realize how many serial killers there were until somebody starts the outline of dates.
  • Ash5479
    Misleading
    The title and the advertising lead you to believe this is focused around Gacy and Corll. Instead, that’s a footnote in a totally different story about child trafficking in 70s. I don’t appreciate being misled. I also am not fond of this narrator and the continual comments comparing things to today.
  • Vince_Versa
    Amazed
    I’m amazed at all the pedos leaving negative reviews.
  • Jerdpaul
    Well done, gripping
    I’m very impressed with this one, thanks for the thorough research
  • Firedancer1013
    Poor Research and Conclusion Jumping
    If you think loose coincidences are the same as facts, then this is the podcast for you.
  • Goatkiller489
    Scary
    A very interesting and very scary possibility. You will have to decide for yourself, but definitely worth listening to.
  • racin707
    Good version of the story with more information
    Bad call having a mattress company sponsor a pod cast about pedo’s or brilliant?
  • Littledutchgirl240
    Basically Q anon... horrible
    I love true crime podcasts and thought this had great potential. Unfortunately, the host links a bunch of well known serial killers and says they’re all involved in some sort of conspiracy with ZERO evidence. Shows like this are harmful and only send people deeper down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Completely irresponsible.
  • trucrimeghy
    Had potential
    To much inference not enough hard facts takes away from the effectiveness of the topic journalism
  • helenavic1
    Poorly done
    This podcast had such great potential, but the host consistently jumps to conclusions without evidence. After a while, it’s unbearable to listen to because of all the logical fallacies.
  • toritoritoritori3
    It’s R@PE NOT ‘having sex’
    Please use the correct terms when describing adults sexually assaulting/r@pe children. Do not referring to these pedophiles as ‘having sex’ with victims! It’s so ignorant and you KNOW BETTER.
  • TC Junkie
    Riveting
    I thought these stories have all been told. This podcast proved me wrong! Especially in light of the things that have been uncovered in our country in the last few years.
  • Camby 2376
    The Franklin Cover Up
    Great podcast and I knew about all these incidents but didn’t know how they all tied together! Th one you missed from this error was Boys Town, Johnny Gosch and the Franklin. No way they weren’t all connected and the kids involved have said they were in chicago and Michigan and DC. Also the Founders in Florida. Internationally you could go with Jimmy Savile, Edward Heath, Mark Dutreax and the white March! This stuff is so big and so prevalent and those naive enough to thing Epstein isn’t the biggest story of the 20th and 21st just don’t want to know the real truth! It’s always been about the Children!
  • Larry8900
    Excellent
    There’s much more going on here, and it’s very clear. Unfortunately, the normies in the review section are would rather listen to what mainstream media tells them. It’s sad.
  • COWBOY68
    Believably Unbelievable
    FANTASTIC !!! Interviews, never before heard clips and information that I’ve never heard of and I listen to A LOT of True Crime podcasts. The host is great , I listened from beginning to end in one day at work . This is one of the best !!! If you want people giggling and sipping wine , this isn’t for you !!!
  • frigal shopper
    Great podcast
    Love the podcast. But I can’t help to ask, how is your friend Chris doing today?
  • KimmiKay89
    Maybe.
    Ok, so the stories are sound in and of themselves, but the conclusion I’m a bit dubious on. I do believe the child murders of the 70s/80s are a major reason why childhood in 2021 is much different than childhood in 1971. BUT does that also mean all those murders and horrible abuses are tied to a larger pedo group? Maybe. I’m not quite convinced. I think the growth of national media in that era exposed actions that were neither new nor novel. That’s my take. An interesting podcast to listen to nonetheless.
