Dean Arnold Corll

- Also known as “The Candyman”
Dean Arnold Corrl was an american homosexual rapist and serial killer. Between 1970 and 1973, Corll is known to have killed a minimum of 28 victims. All of his victims were males aged thirteen to twenty.
Corll's victims were typically lured into one of two vehicles he owned, with an offer of a party or a lift and driven to his house. There, they were either plied with alcohol or drugs until they passed out, tricked into putting on handcuffs, or grabbed by force. They then were stripped naked and tied to either Corll's bed or a plywood torture board, which was regularly hung on a wall. Then the victims would be sexually assaulted, beaten, tortured and, after several days—killed by strangulation or shot. Their bodies then were tied in plastic sheets and buried.

In several instances, Corll had forced his victims to phone or write to their parents, with explanations for their disappearances, right before he killed them.
Dean Arnold Corll was shot on August 8, 1973, by one of his two accomplices, Wayne Henley. The two had been planning to kill Corll, because they were afraid of him, and thought that he had gone crazy. They had always considered themselves potential victims and worried that they might not see it coming fast enough to escape. According to them, Dean had been acting very strangely and they feared that his increased need for new victims posed a threat to their security.
