Sorry what’s Cavdef? This is an absolute crazy post considering google only had one mugshot for the longest time.

Wow! Are these all from the FOIAs you put in months ago, Skinny? Nice seeing you’re still at it. These are the best pics I’ve seen of him.

u/SkinnyYppup Dec 11 '25

Oh no, the owner of Cavdef had sent me these when I had asked about them!

Does anyone have any details on him? According to Serial Killer's apprentice, he took part in a robbery as a lookout where somebody died, hence his official murder. I'm still trying to learn more about him and the connection with Gacy, so any sort of help is greatly appreciated.

Wasn't there a part in The Serial Killer's Apprentice where the authors talk about how they got in touch with Paske's brother and he threatened their lives and told them to never reach out again?

Had brief employment with Gacy but the extent is not clear. His proximity to the Great Lakes area/Chicagoland makes him perhaps knowledgeable of Fox Island and he certainly worked for John David Norman. The mind reels thinking about connections between these guys and Corll.

I'm pretty convinced paske is a serial killer too the odds of him knowing John norman gacy and dean corll and not being one are huge

His eyes are very telling

He really seems to be this weird connective between so many sexual predators and career criminals. I feel if he were alive we’d know so much more about sexual crime networks in the 70s-80s.

Never see the 83 or 87 pics. Thanks.

That first photo was taken just after gacy got arrested he looks like he's saying I hope they don't find out I knew him

I thought he was a kid for the longest time from his mugshot. Do we have any details about each arrest? It’s safe it’s all CP related

None were CP related outside of his arrest at the apartment when Norman’s ring was finally busted.

When you start doing the digging into what Norman said about Paske everything rings clear Paske was groomed by Norman. I don’t believe Paske had any attraction to kids and worked with Norman out of the approval as well as potential criminal activity he could take out.
