According to the book The Man With Candy, one young teenage boy who worked at the company complained to Corlls mother that Corll had made sexual advances toward him. But for some reason, Corll decided not to kill him. The youth pinned the reward posters around the Heights and attempted to reassure Hilligiest's parents that there might be an innocent explanation for the boys' absence. But all they did was say, Why are you down here? Corlls father was also known to have been a strict disciplinarian.

Brooks had also stated in his confession that Scott was likely buried at High Island. Within two weeks of moving into this address, he had killed 17-year-old Joseph Lyles. In response, Corll pounced on Aguirre, pushed him onto the table, and cuffed his hands behind his back. [31] Whenever Brooks told Corll he needed cash, Corll gave him money, and the youth began to view Corll as a father figure. [85] In Brooks's confession, he stated that both youths were tied to Corll's bed and, after their torture and rape, Henley manually strangled Baulch, then shouted, "Hey, Johnny!" For almost 50 years, people have recalled the atrocities. Corll initially told Brooks that he was part of a gay pornography ring and had sent the teens to California. But its unknown if this ever led to abuse or punishments that were worse than those typical for the 1940s. He was aided by two teenaged accomplices, David Owen Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley.

While his stepfather sold the candy on his sales route and his mother managed the business side of the company, Corll and his younger brother operated the machines that produced the candy. [30], Despite the revelations that Corll was, in reality, killing the boys he and Brooks had assisted in abducting, Henley nonetheless became an active participant in the abductions and murders. A second date was scheduled for May 25, 1982. And so for several more years, Corll continued to work at the candy store. [22]:3670 Investigators later returned to the scene where these extra bones bodies were discovered in efforts to locate any additional human remains at the site of their discovery, although this search yielded no further remains. This had inspired the salesman to state to her: "If you've got that much energy, why don't you start making candy? When the father succumbs to the wicked vengeance of the mythical killer, daughter Annie studies everything she can about the legend of Candyman to empower herself so that she can defeat the evil of the undead. In addition, Brooks only knew the location of Konen's body at High Island Beach because Corll had shown it to him.

In 1970, when he was 15, Brooks dropped out of Waltrip High School[30] and moved to Beaumont to live with his mother. Within a week, investigators recovered 17 bodies from makeshift graves and a boathouse shed. [72][73], Henley later stated that, for several months, he ignored Corll's offer, although he did maintain an acquaintance with Corll and gradually began to view him as something of a "brother-type person" whose work ethic he admired and in whom he could confide. That evening, Simoneaux is known to have phoned his mother's home and to have shouted the word "Mama" into the receiver[94] before the connection was terminated. The first victim of 1972 was Frank Aguirre, who disappeared on March 24, meaning no known victims were killed for seven months. In the decades since then, Henley has remained a controversial figure.

Brooks later stated he had assisted Corll in the abduction and murder of two youths during the time Corll resided at this address, including one youth who was killed "just before Wayne Henley came into the picture." The macabre record number of known victims attributed to a single murder case set by Corll and his accomplices was surpassed only in 1978 by John Wayne Gacy, who murdered 33 boys and young men and who admitted to being influenced by press coverage of the Houston Mass Murders to manacle his victims prior to their abuse and murder. In a 2010 interview granted to investigative reporter Barbara Gibson, Henley disputed the 1993 identification of a victim buried in the boat shed as Scott and reiterated his claim that Scott had been buried at High Island "in the sand: As a result of Henley's claims, DNA tests on the body initially identified as Scott were again tested against samples of DNA taken from Scott's family. Brooks persuaded Haney to attend a party at an address Corll had moved to on San Felipe Street the previous month. Beginning in 1969,[32] Corll paid Brooks in cash or with gifts to allow him to perform fellatio on the youth. Konen was born November 20, 1951, per death certificate. Numerous parents in Deer Park and the surrounding area turned in candy their children got from trick or treating to the police, fearing it was laced with poison. Brooks would later say Henley grew "especially sadistic", shooting and strangling victims himself after their rape and torture. However, Scott saw Henley pointing a pistol toward him and according to Brooks, Scott "just gave up." [5] After visiting a home where the occupant failed to answer the door, the children grew impatient and ran ahead to the next home while O'Bryan stayed behind. [298] The suspicion is that Corll began killing much earlier than 1970 and had been abusing youths prior to this date.[299]. Brooks later described Dreymala as a "small, blond boy" for whom he had bought a pizza and in whose company he had spent 45 minutes before the youth was attacked.
