Karen Conti, a lawyer who represented serial killer John Wayne Gacy during his last death row appeals, said she believes Gacy killed dozens more

John Wayne Gacy killed more than 33 victims, and the 'Killer Clown' didn't do it alone, his lawyer believes. Karen Conti was a fledgling attorney in the early 1990s when she defended the most infamous serial killer at the time during his final death row appeals from 1993 to his execution by lethal injection May 4, 1994. Gacy was convicted of 33 murders, but Conti said she's certain there are more victims. 'I'm almost positive about that,' she told Fox News Digital.

But prosecutors didn't want to 'dirty up' the case against Gacy by bringing other suspects into the picture, Conti told The U.S. Sun in a March interview. So, potential co-conspirators were never introduced. 'It's my really strong feeling that these two young men helped procure the young men for Gacy and helped tie them down and maybe even help perpetrate the crimes, certainly helped bury the bodies,' Conti said.
