Dozens of teenaged boys were lured to a home in Pasadena, Texas in the 1970s with the promise of beer and marijuana. Dean Corll then murdered the boys. He was known as the “Candy Man” killer because he once owned a candy store.
The young boys were lured to the home and then assaulted and killed.
Authorities recovered the bodies of 28 teenage boys and young men in the early 70s.
Over the past few weeks volunteers with Texas EquuSearch along with Pasadena police have been working to find the bodies of more victims.
They believe that as many 20 bodies are still not yet accounted for.
