The Candyman Murders | Serial Killer Dean Corll

The Candyman Murders | Serial Killer Dean Corll

Timestamp to skip intro chat: (2:15)

In the early 1970’s, 42 boys vanished from the Houston Heights area of Texas.

Dean Corll lived in the area and worked for the family company, Corll Candy Company. In 1970, he began a three-year killing spree, along with his accomplices David Owen Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley.

All of their victims were males, aged between 13-20. The three men tortured and abused their victims before viciously murdering them.

Their rampage ended in 1973 when Elmer killed Dean following an altercation. He called police and said "Y'all better come here right now! I just killed a man!"

Dean, Elmer and David have been conclusively linked to 29 murders.
