A man known to children in a Spring-area neighborhood as the “Candyman” is now behind bars after Harris County Precinct 4 undercover investigators say he believed he was meeting a 13-year-old girl near a local school.
Elmer Wayne Henley, 69, helped serial killer Dean Corll lure, torture and murder at least 28 teens and young men between 1970-1973.
Authorities have shared a new reconstruction photo of one of the victims of the Houston “Candy Man” killer to try to identify the young man, according to a news release from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Dean Corll is perhaps the most notorious killer in Houston’s history.It may all seem like history, but the tendrils of his thee-year killing spree extend to present day with one set of unidentified child-size remains, still lacking a name since they were found nearly 50 years ago.
