THE CANDY MAN WAS TRUSTED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEN HOUSTON'S MISSING BOYS WERE FOUND BENEATH THE GROUND.
Dean Corll appeared ordinary enough to disappear into everyday Houston life. He worked in his family's candy business, held a steady job as an electrician, and became a familiar adult to teenagers in the Houston Heights. Behind that harmless image, however, investigators later uncovered one of the most shocking murder cases in American criminal history.
Dean Corll, The Pied Piper of Houston: The Complete Biography explores the life, crimes, accomplices, victims, and disturbing unanswered questions surrounding the man remembered as Houston's infamous "Candy Man."
Follow Corll from his childhood and family life through the candy business that brought him into contact with neighborhood boys. Discover how his relationships with teenagers David Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley developed into something far darker, creating a system in which familiar faces could be used to lure other young men into danger.
This detailed biography examines the disappearances that were repeatedly mistaken for teenage runaways, the hidden burial sites, the devastating discoveries of August 1973, and the moment Henley finally turned a gun on Corll and exposed everything.
It also investigates the difficult questions left behind. How many victims were there? Did Corll begin killing before the established murder series? Why did authorities fail to recognize the pattern sooner? And more than fifty years later, why does one recovered victim still remain unidentified?
Carefully separating confirmed evidence from later speculation, this book goes beyond the killer's notoriety to remember the young men whose lives were nearly overshadowed by the name Dean Corll.
