Cook County, Il - In a shocking revelation, David Bolton has come forward with a chilling account of his childhood encounter with one of America's most notorious serial killers, John Wayne Gacy. Bolton, now a successful real estate investor, narrowly escaped an attack by a teenage Gacy while vacationing with his family at a Wisconsin lake.

The traumatic experience, which occurred years before Gacy's infamous killing spree, had a profound impact on Bolton's life. This trauma was further compounded by his later service in Vietnam, leading to significant challenges in his personal relationships and mental health.

Bolton's story takes an unexpected turn with the revelation that he coincidentally lived near Gacy's infamous "murder house" in Norwood Park Township, Illinois. This proximity to the site where Gacy committed many of his horrific crimes adds an eerie dimension to Bolton's narrative.

John Wayne Gacy, known as the "Killer Clown," was convicted of raping, torturing, and murdering at least 33 young men and boys between 1972 and 1978. Gacy's modus operandi involved luring victims to his home, often under the pretense of offering construction work, before subjecting them to brutal assaults and ultimately killing them.

Despite the severe trauma he endured, Bolton has shown remarkable resilience. He has channeled his experiences into a fictionalized novel, "Hike Around The Lake," which explores themes of survival, trauma, and recovery. Through his writing, Bolton offers valuable insights into the long-lasting effects of violence and the human capacity for healing.

Bolton's journey from survivor to author and successful businessman serves as a powerful testament to the human spirit. His story highlights the complex path of trauma survivors and the various routes to recovery and success they may navigate.
