About

In this chilling episode, host Jace dives deep into the horrifying story of Dean Corll, also known as The Candyman — a seemingly ordinary man who lured, tortured, and murdered at least 29 young boys between 1970 and 1973 in Houston and Pasadena, Texas. With the help of two teenage accomplices, Elmer Wayne Henley and David Owen Brooks, Corll’s sadistic crimes became one of the most shocking cases in American history — later studied by the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit to develop modern criminal profiling. We’ll explore the backgrounds of Corll’s victims, the terrifying discovery that ended his killing spree, and how this case reshaped the way investigators hunt serial killers today.Follow us on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bloodstainedbackstories/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodstainedbackstories/'Twitter/X: https://x.com/BloodstaindBTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bloodstainedbackstoriesDiscord: https://discord.gg/ByrDwT4pQE#TrueCrimePodcast #BloodstainedBackstories #TrueCrimeStory #HistoricCrime #SpotifyTrueCrime #YouTubeTrueCrime #SerialKiller
