Abstract
The article focuses primarily on the question of why human trafficking is often overlooked as a contributing factor in homicide cases. As a case study, the author analyzes one of the most infamous serial murder cases in United States history, the John Wayne Gacy case, in which the human trafficking element remained hidden for almost 40 years. The case is examined from five different perspectives: (1) the prosecution; (2) the defense; (3) the police; (4) the culture; and (5) political corruption. In addition, the piece provides an overview of current efforts in the United States to prevent trafficking in persons, including a summary of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, the annual Trafficking in Persons Report, with its informative regional and country narratives, and the White House’s National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking.
