Actor Jack Merrill Recounts Being Abducted & Sexually Assaulted As A Teen By Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy
'He put this homemade contraption around my neck," writes Merill, then 19. "It had ropes and pulleys, and it went around my back and through my handcuffed hands."
Hollywood is seemingly obsessed with serial killer stories, and one veteran actor is now relating his own, all-too real encounter with John Wayne Gacy. Jack Merrill, whose decades-long career includes parts in Eight Men Out, Law & Order, Sex and the City, Grey’s Anatomy, Numb3rs and Hannah Montana, wrote this week about surviving abduction and rape at the hands of Gacy, a serial killer who sometimes dressed as a clown and who authorities say sexually assaulted and murdered at least 33 young men and boys. Merrill says a few months later he saw a headline in the Chicago Sun-Times that read, “Bodies Found at Suburban Site” and he knew the man involved was the one who had abducted and assaulted him.
