i will be around more once i'm sure

myself

come on i'll drive you

i'd like you to take a look at this

missing persons for me christopher gant

tell me what you think

you expect me to think this early in the

morning i'd like you to

you do have the experience in this sort

of thing youth bureau

not that many people were missing not

airing explains

over in chicago yeah but not here it's

uh mostly runaways

problems at home school off they go

that's what happened with this kid maybe

maybe not

it's a nice looking boy isn't he honor

student at maine west high school

that's where your son goes isn't it yeah

boy's had after-school jobs since he was

12 years old mother father picks him up

when he gets off work

it doesn't read like your typical

runaway does it no it doesn't

attend coz and zach there's a mr and mrs

gant in reception

want to talk to someone about a missing

person they filled out last night all

right thank you

well there you go when your son went

outside you're certain that it was to

talk to this

mr gacy about a job he was offering him

well

he didn't actually say the name then how

do you know

oh cindy beck told me she she works at

the store with chris you see

he was so excited so they were offering

twice what mr austin paid

it's so hard to understand

one minute he's with me in the store

would you like to have a seat again

so is there any special reason that

chris needs any extra money

difference does that make uh he was

saving up to

build a dark room at home he's a very

good photographer

i offered to buy the equipment for him

but

he insisted on paying for it himself

he's a very independent boy

perhaps uh too independent

it says here that mr austin phoned mr

gacy's house

but he wasn't there at least he didn't

answer the phone

and when chris still didn't come home we

called his friends

but uh he wasn't there

so we decided uh to drive around the

streets and look for him

but we couldn't find him so i

that's when we

mrs gant we'll do everything that we can

to find him

thank you i'll let you both know what's

happening

are you scant can i speak to you for a

minute please

is there any reason that you can think

of why your brother might have run away

and just something that he didn't want

your parents to know about of course not

what are you trying to do make out like

he was in some kind of trouble

is there something bothering you

last night the policeman on duty he told

us that it's routine with missing

persons to wait 48 hours before doing

anything

i see a lousy birthday present

what's that yesterday was my mother's

birthday

we were waiting for chris to come home

to have the party

whatever you're working on turn over i

want you full time on this until we find

the boy

when's atkins get in off today i'll call

him tell him to get his butt in here

right away to help you

joe yes should we give this just a

little time

no

[Music]

well what happened at the lineup i

practically pointed out the guy to them

like i was saying there's a scumbag

ripped off your stores

months work and not one of them would

give me a positive id

all right i'll see if uniform could put

another squad out there maybe he'll get

cocky enough to try it again

did williams or atkins call me

while you're at it how about getting me

some help i'm running my butt off trying

to serve all those summonses huh

yeah yeah we'll pick it up later what

did i tell you

lieutenant yes bureau

you're making a kid like that chief of

detectives he's no kid

been on the force 15 years you get up to

the shopping center

anything nothing you're gonna like

vincent austin doesn't remember seeing

casey talk to christopher gant

you get a hold of mr gacy on the phone

he said he didn't talk to any of the

employees in the pharmacy

not to the first time he's there or the

second when he came back for just a few

minutes to pick up the workbook

when did mr gacy talk to christopher

gantt about a job

maybe he didn't meaning well i checked

out a dozen people working at the uh

shopping center in and out of the stores

all night

one or two remember seeing christopher

gann out on the street but none of them

saw him with

anybody resembling the description that

austin gave me of john gacey

great in fact nobody i talked to saw

gasey at all

why'd gasey sound to you what can you

tell on the phone

sorry to your kid's missing sorry but he

can't help us you catch up with the

the girl cindy beck maine west high

school

and she and chris have been dating

nothing heavy

well what else more or less confirm what

mrs gatt said uh

chris asked his mother to wait a few

minutes so he could talk to a contractor

about a job

which mr gacy denies offering him

she have any idea what could have

happened to him not exactly

not exactly chris can act spacey

sometimes go off and do his own thing

he's not a runaway not with parents like

that and certainly not in his mother's

birthday

okay that's the way i feel about it

all right call chicago see if they've

got a rap sheet on casey i had a dollar

every time they stiffed me told me to

put a three channels i'd be sitting on a

beach on waikiki

all right that buddy of yours still

works chicago police records well i'll

try to get a hold of him see if he can't

cut through the red tape

you don't come in a night shift okay

we'll hang in and call him then

i got plans tonight i said wait around

and call him

look i just think we're missing

something here it doesn't feel right let

me know

you know i got a feeling there's a

magnet someplace in this town draws in

all the dirt bags off interstate 30.

you guys get a hold of them just now

well

chicago handled two complaints

concerning a john geesey

for what assault first ones five years

ago

aggravated assault case dismissed second

one's july this year case still open

and what was the nature of the assault

what do you mean you don't know

on a limb giving me this much

unauthorized

yeah all right why don't i go to chicago

tomorrow

try to get the rest no no no tomorrow

could be too late

joe we all know uh assault even reckless

itself could be anything from a bar room

brawl to uh

physical attack endangering the life of

another person uh-huh

why not wait and find out

we'll be late

lieutenant i'd like you both to meet me

outside gacy's house as soon as possible

yeah that's right as soon as possible

uh i'm gonna have to miss another game

here

joe it's okay

is it about christopher gant

everybody at school was talking about it

you going to find him i hope so

may be all right

state attorney's office how far can we

push it

what's up because i want to let you in

the house back off he doesn't he want to

talk to you go home

what do we do everything we can to get

the boy out if he's in there

look what do we got two assault charges

missing teenager who's been missing for

less than 24 hours yeah listen i hope

i'm wrong i hope this guy is clean i

hope chris gant shows up on harm but i

got to tell you i got a lousy feeling in

my gut on this thing

oh i don't want your guts to be in

enough room thank you let's go

say we get into the house not much we

can do without a search the least

indication the boy is in there anything

about gacy doesn't add up

ringing the bell i'm sorry i was in the

can

did you find out anything about the boy

no michael wouldn't run away neither did

christopher gant i just

i know it now what i don't know is

what i should do now

maybe if i had a little longer in this

job

i just don't know how to handle this

you'll handle it

the way you always did when you were in

uniform had done it charging

[Music]

request for information sheet our

missing person christopher gann

i need you to type that up for me

priority distribution statewide

he could be out there and okay let's

hope

lieutenant closing zach's office

it's mr gacy hey listen i'm sorry i

didn't make it in there last night

i was on my way i get some ice the car

went into a ditch

took me forever to get the damn thing

out listen if you don't believe me you

can check it out it happened at the

corner of brent morris

no no i believe you mr gacy

you still need me to come in

yeah yeah

hey cosplay

let the kid go back to work

joe yeah copies of the photograph with

it

yeah sweet looking kid yeah

kozlow chicago's checking looks like

your gut was right

rap sheet on casey

thanks the other building city

attorney's office

i share your concern for the missing boy

lieutenant

but what have you got to support a

request for a search warrant of darcy's

house copies of the charred cheats on

gacy's two arrests in chicago both

involve sexual assault on young men

look the complainant in the first told

the chicago cops that gacy kept him

prisoner in his garage he

he assaulted him repeatedly left him for

dead look that's how the boy escaped

let me see it also says casey denied the

charges and the case was dropped

the kid was a male prostitute i guess it

came down to who do you believe a

questionable character or a respectable

businessman

now maybe if they believed the kid chris

gantt wouldn't be missing

second case it's still open same kind of

charges again

it doesn't say why don't you try to get

a hold of him well he left town right

after

i see as you say mr casey is a

respectable business

under the circumstances i'm just not

sure that i can convince a judge to

issue a search warrant

for his own lieutenant close inside

yeah about one of your menus to talk

with you

yeah casey finally showed up says he's

not talking to anyone about you and he

won't wait long

what did you guys do in there last night

well don't go starting that rumor

look just uh read in the miranda and

start getting a statement but terry

whatever you do do not let him leave

until i get back yeah

gacy why don't you wait and see what

he's got to say

no i believe chris gantt is in there and

i want to get him out

before any more happens to him

donald help you drop a request mr casey

do you remember speaking to anybody in

particular when you went to the hospital

visit your uncle on that what the hell

is this

what are you questioning my word i spoke

with the head nurse on the floor she uh

doesn't remember seeing you i don't give

a damn what she remembers or she doesn't

remember

plaques on my wall

even know the kid's dead

you know i dropped in to see the boy's

family this morning

i told them not to give up hope

but you have

based on what

i don't know i don't know based on the

the feel of the case

you know some of the things we found in

gacy's house the mo on the two assault

charges against him

alleged assault the two victims lived to

tell their story one of them because

gacy thought the boy was dead

you sure you're not letting yourself get

too involved in this one besides you and

mike paxton

exactly we're getting better

not that there aren't one or two of the

old-timers don't hate my guts

yeah well i didn't make you chief of

detectives to win any popularity

contests

i jumped you over a lot of older guys to

figure out the smarts to do the job

don't prove me wrong i won't holding

gacy that long yesterday wasn't so smart

no sir hmm

can i have delta

you know what christmas means to me more

problems to deal with

don't let those delta cowboys lean too

heavy on the guy

we're looking at a lawsuit thanks walter

plug

you

guys got a lot of seniority look do i

get delta or not i thought you just told

me i said you got my approval

up to you to get paxton's cooperation

because i'm already using my best men to

follow up on the leads we've got

you drag delta unit into it never mind

what we got going

bill excuse us for a minute please

i suppose i should have talked to you

about it first would have been nice

have

what's all this

i've uh made bill wald an intelligence

officer

he's keeping track of all incoming

reports on the case why do you want this

guy tailed so bad

put pressure on him try to find out what

he did with the boy's body

you think he's stupid enough to go back

there if i can shake him up maybe he'll

start worrying he didn't hide it good

enough

you hoped oh there's only one way to

find out

i'm gonna bust my guy's butts for this

ah come on mike you're gonna help me or

not this guy

killed a kid this could be your son it

could be mine don't dance me around on

this

so how far do you want us to go just

surveillance this guy's been around the

block a few times we give him an excuse

he'll scream his rights are being

violated

but you want him to know that we're

there close

surveillance not gonna win any

popularity contest with this

him while he went back to pick up the

workbook

the olds was giving him trouble left as

soon as we got there

in case he did but he has seen gacy come

on to some of the kids that work at lpw

because he never did i'm straight tell

him tell him i got a wife why don't you

guess the case got us crawling up our

butts

[Applause]

i thought you knew he swings both ways

here's the speech he gives

about how he's liberal-minded when it

comes to sex gives to who

the guy is working for him i already

told you what guys kids he hit on

whose names you can't remember not lying

just dropping gacy in the crapper

you remember if anything bad happened to

any of them

about it ted

like what like any of them disappeared

watch ask john because i'm asking you

ted

you're the one at the austin pharmacy

the night chris canton disappeared

you're the one that's driving around in

a car belonging to a missing boy

john sold it to me john it's always john

you had nothing to do with it

what do you want from me the truth

you got it all wrong i never messed up

any kids

right john did yeah but but what

he's not a bad guy pays good that makes

it all right

seen him cry about what he was doing to

the kids or his father

i couldn't be here when his father died

that's some kind of character reference

why couldn't he be here ted i don't know

where was he ted someplace in iowa

what's the difference

well you think he did it

you think he's telling us everything he

knows

all right i want you to do an alpha

check on gacy for me this is something

that i should have requested before no

it was a few months after we were

married

he said that's the last time

i only did to give you a present because

it's a mother's day

it sounds funny to you doesn't it

[Music]

that's when he started bringing the

young men around

boys really i'd see them leaving the

garage the next morning

did you ever go into the garage just to

see what was there

he kept it locked

besides i wouldn't dare

why did you stay with him

i have two little girls from my first

marriage i needed the money he gave me

to take care of him

[Music]

john ever speak about his father no

about his childhood only by way of

saying that the kids he had working for

him had it

better than he had do you ever remember

anything happening

to any of them i mean

the ones you brought to the garage yeah

like what like any of them reported

missing

there was a phone call

from a father who said his son was

missing and could john call me back

do you recall the name

[Music]

could it have been trask

mick clavich

[Music]

i remember because it was tricky to

pronounce i got the k all mixed up when

i told him about the call

worry about than some dumb kid i'd quit

on

i'm sorry this boy worked for john

are you sure that's what he said

thank you thank you very much for coming

in

scared the daylights out of some of the

others about telling their parents

house on

one pretext to another

handcuff their feet to a board

put a rope around their neck and

twist it
