      I can also relate to the unorthodox family lifestyle. My dad ran cocaine when I was a kid. I had a good upbringing compared to most but really offbeat. I remember being with him making drops waiting in the car. I never knew what was actually happening (I was only 6-8 years old) but later my mom told me. But I do remember being in situations such as this man around older adults. I was always a listener and observer. Growing up I was in sketch situations but recognized and gtfo. It's reckless children living this way but some of the smartest/clever sotes lived similar lives
      Thank you everyone for the love. Life is crazy sometimes 🖤

      What's disturbing about that re-encounter is that clearly Gacy had no recolection of him but was there to find more victims as it was a spot full of young and naïve boys to prey upon. Likely was a spot where he had tortured and killed at least one other boy between 1970 and 1974 when he saw him again...Someone Tony likely would've been peers with or at least would have known about their "drowning".

      @@HowieHoward-ti3dx it's easy to call everyone stupid when looking through our own 2023 lens but you're forgetting he was only 14 years old at the time. A boy who just encountered a strange man in a sexual environment especially when it wasn't as "out there" as it is now probably wanted to get to a familiar face as quickly as possible, and probably would've felt weird about describing that situation to a stranger only minutes later. He was just thinking "Get my bike and get the hell out of here" to the place he saw as the safest: home. You're also forgetting this is not the "Modern woman" era. This is back when women often still deferred to their husbands for direction, decision, and action. So it's understandable she wanted to wait for her husband to come home and hear her son's story, especially considering he was pretty much unharmed just talking about a what he felt was just a "weird man."

      Being a victims of crime advocate who has talked to hundreds of victims and their family members and read just as many police reports in my 25 years I have to totally agree with HowieHoward. I wonder how many victims who didn’t make it out alive had those same fear instinct feelings but either didn’t do anything or was too slow to act. HowieHoward was right that at the time of Tony’s encounter was a completely different era of what we know now of sexual predators and serial killers. Him and his mom couldn’t even imagine someone like Gacy and what he was capable of doing. Every action he and his mom took was believable. Knowing what we know now we can sit and watch this video and think to ourselves all the things he should of done but that’s just not realistic during that era, his experience and his age. He did the right thing and of course survived because of it. Thank god for victim success stories.

    It's insanely courageous seeing this man talk about his experience with an infamous serial killer. Just unreal. Especially knowing that not many of his victims survived his attacks or advances. Sadly, there are bodies of young men still being discovered almost 50 years later (many are unidentified), but the last person positively IDed was in 2021.

His rhythm of speech, the pauses, the seamless continuation of the story, telling the ending without any fluctuations in his voice. What a fabulous storyteller. Very scary stories but fabulously told.

    What a great story teller. I was actively listening to every word he said. I grew up in Hollywood, Ca. In the 70’s. I was very street smart. I was walking to the bank one summer day during summer break from high school. I was 16 and didn’t have a car yet. The bank was about five blocks. I wanted to cash my paycheck from my part time job. I told my dad where I was going, it’s was about noontime. He didn’t drive and my mom was at work. I walked one block and this car was driving really slow looking at me. Then he turned the corner. I’m halfway down the next block and here he comes again. Looking at me. I got a really bad feeling and I slowed down to see where he was going to drive next because the corner was coming up. He turned again and once he couldn’t see me I turned around and ran for my life back home. It was 2-3 short blocks. Got inside and locked the door. My dad asked me what happened and why I was back and I told him I changed my mind because it was too hot to walk. I never told him the truth or my mom when she came home. Maybe he would have kidnapped me. I don’t know. My neighborhood wasn’t extremely busy because all the schools were closed for summer and actually my neighborhood had more adults with no kids than families so the sidewalks were pretty empty as far as kids playing outside. To this day it could have been Richard Ramirez or any other serial killer in Hollywood/los Angeles in 1982.

I assume because they knew more or experienced more by their age and also could be a bad example to us and lead us down a wrong path. She didn't want us to grow up too fast. I so understand that now and appreciate that. Ss I listen to this man's story, his father had an unorthodox way of raising his child so this is why he did not discern when he was in harm's way with the serial killer gacy, I get that but as he got older and he was in the situation with the guys about purchasing a truck and went along with them when he hardly knew them. To me he just seemed too trustworthy. I thought that after all he went through that he would have had different advise about the safety of children. I don't know about being a helicopter parent or not, but I do believe parents should always be protecting and guiding their children because children need guidance and protection.

      But stupid of him not to escape when Gacy was in the bathroom a 2nd time and to just pull the cooler aside. Also, he should have told the desk clerk Ella what happened and Gacy would be caught then. Also, his Mom instead of smoking a cig should have called the police and Gacy would be caught then. Stupid people who caused many more to die by their inaction.

And he made it clear his family weren't the type to go to the police for things like that, w his story about the man who was stabbed. For a 14yo, he was incredibly smart in that situation and was lucky to get out of that motel room.

    It's amazing how events like these stay so vivid in one's memory. All of the details Tony is mentioning paint such an intense picture. The dew hitting him in the face as he was riding home from escaping Gacy, the Wiedemann beer can, the towel Gacy threw around his own neck, the squinting of Gacy's eyes, describing how his Mom backed up against the kitchen counter with a cigarette when Tony relayed what had just happened to him. Tony's survival instincts were so amazing that night, especially for someone so young! Thank God he lived to tell the tale.

      Yes, also, the weird juxtaposition of how his mother wanted to call Chicago police about her son's close call with Gacy in Kentucky and his father telling his son to never again mention the murder he was a witness to. In the end, the mother was right to inform authorities and The Chicago Tribune reporter could see the value, maybe even when the detectives couldn't.

    To all the folks disbelieving him or becoming impatient with the details in his story, it's really important to understand that in the American South, storytelling is considered an art.
    The more details, the better the story, because it paints a picture in your head, lets you understand the setting, gives you context for all the "characters" in the story, and lets you relax into the flow of it.
    Sometimes storytelling isn't about a precise record and being correct about every little detail, but telling the truth of the narrative.

    I love that he felt safe to tell his parents what happened in that room. So many people have a traumatizing experience and hide it because they feel ashamed. They blame themselves for getting into a situation where they're in danger, or where they are harmed. He was able to tell both his parents, which reflects well on them for that part of his upbringing. But you do have to wonder why they didn't call the police? Was it because they didn't want police poking around Dad's illegal enterprises? Probably. Or maybe they didn't want nosy neighbors hearing about how their undersge son agreed to have a beer with a full grown man. As for having complete freedom, I grew up that way too and am not so sure it was a good thing. I could have used more guidance. I did a lot of stupid, risky stuff. I wasn't always the best judge of other people. What I did learn, though, is to listen to my gut. If something feels weird, then get out. And I think that like Tony, I learned how to talk to unstable or even evil people in a way that would keep them calm until I could figure out how to get away. I have to say, I was shocked when he started talking about federal prison. That came out of left field. And running marijuana with his boat! You know, he and I are the same age and up until I had a massive heart attack followed by a quadruple bypass that unfortunately left me with nerve damage, I worked for an agency caring for elderly people. (Prior to that, I was a reporter for about 30 years), and I discovered that every one of these folks had a story or two to tell. Even the clients with dementia still could remember and talk about their wild and crazy days. Of course, as a reporter, I got good at drawing people out. But Tony shows us you really cannot tell a book by its cover. Which is why it's also foolish to judge people, even people you've known a long time, because there's always so much more to their story than you may know.

      Contrary to the prevalent opinion, I do believe Gacy killed just the 33 young men he admitted to killing. His last words, "kiss my ass, you'll never find out where the others are," sounds like a bluff of a narcissistic man wanting to leave a last lingering impression. And I am not saying si because I like to differ: Dean Corll, John Wayne Gacy's unintentional mentor, has 28 murdered boys on his account, but I am positively sure he was killing boys before 1970, and their real number is probably up to 60.

He told her his puppy got lost and asked if she could help him find the lost puppy. She agreed and he started leading her to a more secluded area of the park where he said he lost the puppy. She said he was intensely staring at her the whole time, and when she asked what the puppy’s name was he got all flustered.

    I remember when I was 14 years old I was sitting on our front porch in Southern Illinois. I saw a Illinois department of corrections caravan coming through our small town going about 30 mph ,in the back of the caravan was a green dodge van with one passenger. The passenger was John Gacy and he stared right in my eyes. Later that night my father who worked at Menard penitentiary in Chester, il. Told me that Gacy arrived at Menard .I'll never forget that

    Fellow Tennesseen here too. Born and raised. Tony reminds me of my grandpa. The way he talks and how he tells his story. No detail gets left out. You could sit and listen to him talk for hours and it would be interesting. Im glad he's here today to tell us what happened to him. You're a brave soul Tony. ❤
    Also fun fact: Tony was let out of prison when I was born. 1989.

      You're right, Tony didn't embellish. And told the stories with interesting detail. Except the detail of what happened after he told his mother what happened in the hotel room with the creepy guy trying to hold him hostage and showing him boy porn magazines and handcuffs and chains. Mom says let's chill. We'll mention it to your dad when he gets home at midnight.
      I was looking forward to this part of the story, weren't you? Man, I bet his dad was gonna be angry. I'm thinking dad's gonna throw mom and son in the car and drive to the police station right then and there. There's a child-predator on the loose. He's staying at the freaking resort! Man, that part of the story was gonna be good, right? Mom and dad to the rescue!
      But all we get is. "We'll tell your father when he gets home. Fast forward three years."
      Fast forward three years?
      Let's fast forward 6 years. By that time Gacy went on to rape, torture, and murder 33 young men and boys.
      11:00 to 12:05
      Mom waits until 1978 to call the cops. After Gacy was finally caught by cops and all the bodies found under his house.
      Tony says cop was rude to his mom on the phone. "Do you think someone calling us...some LADY calling us (nice touch Tony)...to report an incident after we found all the bodies is gonna do any good?"
      Cop was probably saying to her, "Hold on a second. You waited 8 years to tell us about this creep holding your son hostage in a hotel room?"

    I also narrowly escaped from a psycho when I was 15 and hitch hiking. Also, I lived in the Chicago suburbs and remember the Gacy killings very well. A friend of mine was 16 and working with his dad doing industrial floor cleaning at a new drugstore. Gacy was also doing some contracting there and asked my friend to come to his house for a barbecue. Luckily, his dad got the willies from Gacy and wouldn't let him go. Im so glad Tony got away, he seems like a really cool guy.

      I haven't had advice like this since my old man would sit me down while he'd do his ironing for the week. For hours he'd talk...and I'd listen. He'd tell story after story.. and I'd listen. Then, when I was old enough to start making my own stories...he'd tell me that he put everything he could into me...the good, bad and ugly...and it was my time to figure out the rest. Men, like in this video, aren't around like they once were...but, his advice at the end was priceless (now that I'm a father of young boys) and my father isn't around for those ironing sessions anymore...I haven't enjoyed hearing an elder talk truth like that in many years. I'm appreciative. Thank you.
