Who Are John Wayne Gacy's Ex-Wives?

John Wayne Gacy met his first wife Marlynn Myers in 1965. The two were co-workers at the Nunn-Bush Shoe Company in Springfield, Illinois. After they were engaged, Myers and Gacy moved to Waterloo, Iowa where Gacy was appointed as a manager in one of the three Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises that his then father-in-law owned, per The New Yorker.

After they settled down, Myer's gave birth to a son and a daughter in 1966 and 1967 respectively. However, their took a turn for the worst a year after their daughter was born when Gacy was convicted of sodomy in 1968, noted The New Yorker, which was illegal in Iowa until 1976. Gacy was sentenced to ten years in prison, and Myers filed for divorce as a result. The divorce meant that Gacy never had a relationship with his biological children, according to Robert J. Debry Associates, never seeing Myers again.
