The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has revealed a newly released sketch that may finally close the chapter on a notorious serial killer who targeted teenage boys in Houston 50 years ago. This killer, known as the “Candy Man” due to his parents owning a candy store, was identified as Dean Corll. While Corll’s other 27 victims have been identified, one remains unknown and is referred to as John Doe 1973. The NCMEC believes this unidentified victim was between the ages of 15 and 18, with long brown hair. The sketch also includes reconstructed images of the clothes he was likely wearing when abducted. A tip concerning the teen’s identity has been received by KHOU, but authorities have yet to confirm it.
Carol Schweitzer of NCMEC expresses hope that the family and friends of this young man are still searching for him. There may be siblings, cousins, classmates, neighbors, or friends who have always wondered about his fate. If still alive, his peers would be in their late 60s or early 70s. Corll operated with the assistance of teenage accomplices Elmer Wayne Henley and David Owen Brooks. Henley killed Corll in 1973, claiming self-defense, and then led the police to the bodies. The victims, collectively known as the “Lost Boys,” were subjected to torture, rape, and murder.
