In the early 1970s, dozens of boys began to mysteriously vanish from the Houston area. Some were lured off the streets with candy or drugs. Others were snatched off their bikes. But at the time, the disappearances were often brushed off by police – the victims considered to be runaways or troublemakers.
Then one summer night in 1973, one of the most horrifying serial murder cases in American history was uncovered. At least 28 boys and young men had been tortured, sexually assaulted, and killed by Dean Corll, known as the Candy Man Killer, and his teenage accomplices, Elmer Wayne Henley and David Brooks.
