Dean Corll born 1939 was an American serial killer who abducted raped and tortured several young men. His victims total 46 known.
He terrorized the community of The Heights, Houston in a crime that would end the culture of suburban openness that characterized
the 1950s and much of the 1960s. No longer would the kindly clean cut neighbour who had an affinity for children be seen without
perhaps some watchful suspicious eye. Corll was helped and supported by two men, the diffident David Owen Brooks and sly young rogue
Wayne Henley, who both assisted him in finding victims.
We explore this tragic story in lurid details while also putting these true events in the context of America's developing understanding
of homosexuality in the late 1960s with Corll being a negative symbol for the gay community.
