Dear Mr. Gacy Page #3

Synopsis: 1993. Overachieving college student Jason Moss, fascinated by serial crime, decides to write his criminology class term paper on John Wayne Gacy, who is on death row and scheduled to be executed in six months time. Jason's criminology professor, Mr. Harris, will only allow Jason to write his paper on Gacy if Jason can come up with a fresh angle, as he himself believes the topic of serial killers is already overexposed. After writing Gacy a nondescript letter and receiving a questionnaire from Gacy in return, Jason believes the fresh angle would be truly to get inside Gacy's head, specifically to learn what makes him tick, by presenting himself in subsequent correspondence to Gacy as Gacy's "type", i.e. a vulnerable young man from a dysfunctional family and thus who is possibly at risk. Despite the advice that he needs to watch out for cunning Gacy, Jason is certain he can outsmart the serial criminal at his own game. Things take an unexpected turn for Jason when he starts receiving tel

else to say until you write me back.

If you should need anything like paper

or supplies, just let me know.

I'd be happy to help.

I'm sure there are

many others who write you,

but I hope you take the time

to write me back.

You'll see that

I'm a pretty nice guy.

I look forward

to hearing from you soon.

Your friend, Jason Moss.

Look, Sam, I need to know how long

this habeas corpus review is gonna be.

I mean on average...

how long does it take?

I know that, Sam.

I'm just trying to figure out

how much time it's gonna buy me,

you know?

I know you're working hard.

I know that.

Listen to me, buddy,

you've got to know

that I'm counting on you here, pal.

All right, all right.

All right, keep me posted.

If you hear anything, get back to me.

Good news?

He's an attorney;

there's never any good news.

But no worries.

You know me, Stan.

I got friends in high places

pulling strings for me.

I'm sure it'll all work out then.

Yeah, it's no problem, buddy.

...and his motive unclear.

In the summer of 1985,

Southern California was held hostage

by a rabid creature of the night,

a phantom killer who cloaked

himself in darkness

and soon became known as...

What the f***?

Look at this.

- What is this?

- It's a questionnaire.

Where'd you get it?

It's from John Wayne Gacy.

The serial killer?

Yeah.

I told you, I'm writing him

for my criminology paper.

No you didn't.

I didn't? Really?

Look, you know, I probably

didn't think it was a big deal

because I never thought

he'd write me back, but...

"What's your relationship

like with your parents?

Do you have a girlfriend?

How often do you masturbate?"

That's disgusting.

Why are you writing to this guy?

I just told you...

it's for my paper.

You couldn't think of anything else

to do your paper on?

No, this is what's intriguing to me.

You're not really gonna tell him

about yourself, right?

No no.

That wouldn't be

the best approach, would it?

So I see Victor Leon Carsenos

is back on your most-wanted list.

Didn't you guys arrest him in '92

for felonious homicide?

Yep, but he got off

on a technicality.

So what's the urgency, Mr. Ross?

Uh, it's... it's this, sir.

And it's "Moss."

- A questionnaire?

- From John Wayne Gacy.

Okay.

I wrote him for my criminology term paper

and he sent me that back,

so I was hoping the FBI would be able to

give me some more information on him.

Well, unfortunately you're barking

up the wrong tree, son.

We don't have any information here

on John Gacy.

If we did have anything, it'd probably

be at the Chicago bureau.

Really? 'Cause, well,

he lived here in '62.

He worked part time

as a janitor at a funeral parlor.
