Myths, Mysteries, & Monsters

On August 8th, 1973, 17 year-old Elmer Wayne Henley called the police to report the murder of 33 year-old Dean Corll. The killer was Elmer himself but what at first seemed to be an open and shut case of self-defense, quickly became an investigation into one of the worst group of serial killers in U.S history.
The leader of the group soon became known as the Candyman Killer and by the time the investigation was done, not everyone was as innocent as they appeared to be.
