With 11 bodies of young men being pulled out of Lake Michigan recently, it’s impossible to ignore the growing rumor that there is a serial killer on the loose. The National Desk news outlet recently spoke to Karen Conti, who represented John Wayne Gacy during his death row appeals. She said, “Nobody’s talking about it but it’s an astounding amount of men and it could be as many as 15 men in a period of just over a year.” She continued, “Days later, they are found in either the lake or the river…and this is now being tied to what they called ‘The Smiley Face Killers,’ and I urge your viewers to Google that. That’s somewhere between 45 and 200 young men, who have disappeared all over the country in the same exact way. and they’re saying that there’s a possibility that there is a killer or group of killers who are doing this in a ritualistic fashion. We don’t know those facts yet, but it’s something we really need to watch.”
