In the final episode on Dean Corll, Alix and Sunshine tell the rest of the story, complete with several endings. (Most of them, pretty bad). The trio has begun a dissolution, but the way the killing spree comes to a final stop is quite the surprise.
Some victims remain unidentified, others may still have never even been found. If you or anyone you know has any information on unidentified Corll victims you can contact Houston Forensic Investigative Services at 713-796-9292

July 26, 2019 23. The Candy Man Part 1: Dean Corll
We all have a near instinctual knowledge to protect children from white windowless vans for fear of a man with candy waiting to lure them away. Have you ever wondered where that story comes from? Sunshine and Alix are taking on the show's first full blown serial killer and it's a doozy. In this episode, they talk about the life of Dean Corll - The Candy Man - all the way up to his first confirmed murder. Content warning: this episode talks about some seriously heavy topics and goes into details about torture, assault, murder, and sexual violence.
