Omnipotent: Don't Ask, Don't Tell

by William Dorsch

We expect that criminals will lie but not the police.

Bill Dorsch a retired Chicago homicide detective understood that people when accused of committing crimes, especially in homicide cases, would make conscious decisions to lie when questioned. He hated being lied to but his task as an investigator was to discover the truth no matter where it would take him.

He worked hard to gather evidence and testimony from individuals that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrator. The accumulation of his work was always focused on the presentation of his investigation at a later time in the courtroom. Only then, could the families of homicide victims find the answers that would hopefully bring closure to the loss of a loved one.

John Wayne Gacy was a monster of a man who walked among us. Not only the families of his victims; but citizens, especially those who lived in the Chicago area expected that law enforcement had done a complete and thorough investigation.

Dorsch knew Gacy and even had dinner in his home, the very home where the bodies of so many of his victims were later found. After Gacy's arrest, Dorsch responded to law enforcement requests to the public for information about possible victims and locations. However, that information was not welcomed and he was told "We don't want any more bodies" The City of Chicago rushed to get the case into court and obtain a conviction.

The authorities had ended their investigation with Gacy's arrest. With a heartless disregard for the victim's families, known and unknown, they not only buried Gacy but the truth along with him.

[Jane Doe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably the best book that’s been written on John Wayne Gacy… there’s a lot of information in this book that’s not available elsewhere online and it’s a must read!

The author had interviewed many many people tied to people who had either disappeared, to accomplices, or to Gacy himself. It leaves you with more information and you’re left pondering about how much more was truly going on during that time.

I would definitely recommend purchasing this book!
