The couple knew each other from a very young age. Actually, Carole was a friend to Gacy’s sister Karen and being sister’s friend, John and Hoff knew each other when they were teens. When Carole was just 16 years old, she even went on a date with John. But, a few years after their romance, the two separated and both of them later got married to different people.

But at the end of 1971, Carole separated from her first husband. And after her split from her first spouse, she along with her two daughters visited Gacy and his mother. At the time, both the mother and son duo was really kind to Carole and her daughters. Gradually, Carole again began her relationship with her childhood boyfriend John, and got married.

After her separation from her first husband, Carole got great support from Gacy and his mother. They became like a pillar to her while she was raising her two daughters as a single mother. By this time, it was actually Gacy’s mom who made a move for Carole and Gacy’s marriage.

As said earlier, a couple of days before their wedding, Gacy had told Carole about him being bisexual but she ignored taking it as a joke.

Why Did Carole And John Separate? Was It Due To John’s Sexuality?

Carole, during her marriage with her spouse John didn’t get everything that a wife expects from her husband either emotionally or physically. She said they barely had a physical relationship after their marriage and her then-spouse was sexually dysfunctional with women.

As a matter of fact, John was more interested in men and had zero attraction to his wife. Most of the time, he used to spend his days and nights outside the home.

Gradually, Carole started noticing something strange surrounding the house and in the behavior of her now-late ex-partner. She once told in an interview that while she was living together with John, she several times found wallets that apparently belonged to teenage boys in his car. Regarding this, whenever she tried to ask, her husband used to explode in anger. She stated,

“He would throw furniture, “He broke a lot of my furniture. I think now, if there were murders, some must have taken place when I was in that house.”

Amidst all these happenings, Carole asked for a divorce from her husband, citing Gacy’s infidelity with women. They later separated with mutual consent and their divorce was finalized in March 1976, 4 years after their marriage.

Both Husband-Wife Were Married Before 

Before tieing the knot with John, Carole was married to her first husband whose name is not known yet. Like Carole, her second spouse John was also previously married to his first wife named Marlynn Myers whose father purchased three KFC restaurants in Waterloo, Iowa in which John even served as a manager.

From his marriage with Myers, the notorious killer also shared two kids, a son Michael Gacy and a daughter Christine Gacy.

Throughout his crime spree, John killed at least 33 men and teenage boys. Before marrying Carole, John already had a criminal record. Police arrested him in charge of the sexual assault of a 15-year-old boy. In the crime of assaulting a teenage boy, John was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment. But by luck, the court later granted him parole. And then, he returned to Chicago where he met his future wife Hoff.

Before marrying her, he had already killed a boy and buried him at the premises of the house where the couple were living. Since 1972, John was active in murdering and molesting boys. While police extensively searched his home and surrounding, they found several dead bodies buried there.

For his notorious crime, the jury sentenced him to death on March 13, 1980. He was on death row and finally, John was executed by lethal injection on May 10, 1994.
