(sure to get its own Netlix series someday)

Notce: This is my opinion protected by the 1 st Amendment of the Consttuton.
Miles: I already hit this one in my paper on the Zodiac, but Coyote has some more informaton for us,
padding out my research there.
As a pushback to all the Netlix/Hollywood series and horrors of the season surrounding Halloween, I
dedicate this paper. Frankly, I fnd my culture's infatuaton with serial killers very nauseatng.
I came across this story while browsing a book store back in Houston called Murder by the Book. I guess
you could say it was a Modern liberal place that specialized in all things murder, mystery, biographies,
and such. It was OK to not wear a mask while browsing but if you wanted to stay for a book reading
you would have to wear one. The register area was run by a couple of older workers wearing white
masks. Afer reading so much of Miles' work on these fake serial killers, browsing the “non-fcton”
secton feels very surreal. I considered telling the staf that they had mislabeled some (if not all?) of
their non-fcton books, and that they should move them to the correct secton of the store. They
wouldn’t have a clue I suppose so I just laughed to myself about it and decided to move on.
One of the books was about a local serial killer known as the Candy Man Killings. I looked it up at
Wikipedia using my phone right away. The killer, Dean Arnold Corll, died when he was...you know
it...33. Would we expect nothing less? So without further introducton, let’s unravel another fake serial
killer and phony investgatons.
The Candy Man Killer (aka, The Pied Piper) was a saga that ran out of the Houston newspapers from
1970 to 1973. The crimes became known as the Houston Mass Murders. I wouldn’t be surprised if this
was the inspiraton for the Candyman horror series out of Hollywood for which they recently released a
new one last year. Strangely enough, there was a flm released in 1969 ttled The Candy Man in which
plot revolves around kidnapping. In 2020, an eight-part series podcast was released: The Clown and the
Candyman (2020-2021) narrated by Jacqueline Bynon, investgatng the murders commited by Dean
Corll and John Wayne Gacy. There is also flm, In A Madman’s World starring Chris Binum as one of the
accomplices Elmer Wayne Henley, Jr. Gacy is also fake.
Dean was born December 24 (12+2+4=18), 1939 and died on August 8, 1973. Aces and eights, sign of
the faked death. Born to parents Arnold Edwin Corll and Mary nee Emma Robinson. He has a sibling
named Stanley Wayne Corll. Dean’s father would be drafed into the United States Air Force afer his
parent’s divorce. Dean served in the U.S. Army. Would you look at that? Another serial killer with a
military background. Anyway… Dean was drafed into the Army on 8/10/1964. Here is the obligatory
fake U.S. Army photo below. The light just above his eyebrows (below the brim) makes no sense. It
pops out when it should be in shadow. The hat looks pasted on. There’s also a sharper picture
reversed, but it’s clear that the lightng is wrong just beneath the brim of the hat. It is too bright under
the brim, unless part of it is transparent.
For more strangeness, there are two graves for his father Arnold Edwin Corll on Findagrave.
Notce how the frst one has a cross and lists him as US Navy, and not Air Force. The second grave is
marked by the Freemasonic G and an upside-down pentagram. So were Corll's parents Satanists? Also
notce the name Mary Bearss. With two s’s, really? Miles has shown us that is another Intel signal: see
Bob Dylan's alias Elston Gunnn and Dylann Storm Roof of the Charleston fake. That’s Mary Orpha nee
Bearss Corll: I had assumed she was a second wife. However, following her link, we fnd a picture of her
which is the same photo of Dean’s mother Mary Emma nee Robinson West. Mary Bearss is on the lef
and Mary Robinson is on the right. You can also see the striped shirt of Dean in both pictures. The
photograph of Dean, Mary R, and (I assume) Stanley also looks very odd. Dean is much brighter than the
other two. What is going on here? It's a paste, as we see in the frst one. Note the neckline, especially
the line between head and neck and the perfectly straight line to your lef. No neck has a straight line
like that. And in the second photo look how the lightng is diferent on the three heads. The older boy
is lit from the right while mom and younger brother are lit more from the front.
Mary Bearss seems to have been previously married to a Walter Harry Starr (freemason G on grave
again), 1905-1963 (two s’s, two l’s; why not two r’s?) for which they had a son Walter Harry Starr Jr. in
1937. Jr. died in 2016 and was cremated. An obituary posted on his page lists him as being born to Mary
Bearse Starr. Hmm. That makes more sense, doesn't it, so we now have proof they fudged it on purpose
as a signal. Mary Bearss also worked as an Executve secretary at the Houston Power and Light Co. for
over 25 years. This is the same company Dean worked for during his killing spree. So he worked with
his mom’s candy company, and then worked for the same company his stepmom worked in? Or is it the
same person?? If we follow this Mary back far enough, we fnd a Revolutonary war veteran spelled as
Bearse.
On Dean’s fathers side (Arnold), we fnd names Bradbury, Byrd, Keyser, Meyers, Wolf. All Jewish of
course. Arnold also married Dorothy Lee nee Dixon Corll whom only lived to age 39 (1920-1959). I also
can’t fnd informaton on Stanley Wayne Corll and there is no listng on Findagrave.
Let’s get back to Dean. Corll, hatng the military, applied for a hardship discharge so he could leave the
service and help with the family candy business. A quick search on hardship discharge states that the
discharge requires severe medical, psychological or fnancial problems in the member’s immediate
family. So his mother and brother couldn’t run a simple candy business? Seems like a prety shaky
reason to get of military service during the Vietnam War. What a lucky guy. He was given an honorable
discharge (or should we suggest a reassignment?) on June 11, 1965. Upon his return to Houston, he
resumed the positon as vice-president of Corll Candy Company.
When it comes to his reference as the Candy Man, there are two book references at Wiki by authors
Marshall Cavendish and a Jack Olsen. Cavendish is a top peerage name, of course. These authors claim
Dean's family owned the Corll Candy Shop which ran a store across the street form Helms Elementary
School. He was known to give candy to children, partcularly teenage boys. Because of this behavior, he
earned himself the nicknames of the Candy Man and the Pied Piper. So…the kids called him that? The
teachers? The neighbors? His handlers?
Dean Arnold Corll is alleged to have abducted, raped, tortured, and murdered a minimum of 28 teenage
boys and young men. He procured his victms with the help of two teenage accomplices, David Owen
Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. (note, Dean’s litle brother Stanley’s middle name is Wayne).
Brooks is said to have been in a homosexual relatonship with Corll since he was a teenager and was his
frst accomplice before Henley was brought on board. Corll and his accomplices buried 17 of their
victms in a rented boat shed alone. How does one ft 17 bodies into a boat shed? His killing spree was
put to an end by one of these accomplices, Henley, turning on him and shootng him with a pistol.
From Wikipedia, we fnd this ridiculous photo ttled the naked body of Dean Corll as discovered at 2020
Lamar Drive. Corll was shot on the lef chest and back. We can’t see his face nor do we see what looks
like gunshot wounds on his back so this picture proves nothing.
From this site, I found a brief summary of the whole story.
Afer Henley shoots Corll, he calls the police at 8:24 AM, and waits on the porch for the police to arrive.
Upon searching the house, the police fnd a plywood torture board measuring 8 by 3 feet long that has
handcufs or (?) nylon strapped to its 4 corners. Not sure how a teenager could stretch his hands and
feet to extend 8 f but moving on. Also found is a large blood stained huntng knife, sheets of plastc
wrapping, a portable radio atached to a batery cell enabling its sound to be amplifed beyond the
manufacturer's maximum setng, an electric motor prepped for giving out jolts of juice to those
unfortunate enough to be strapped to the “devilish device”, eight pairs of handcufs, an assortment of
dildos, various pre-cut lengths of rope, and in the backyard, a wooden crate with air holes drilled in its
sides that contains human hair fber. This all fts that Hollywood serial killer vibe doesn’t it?
The 8 foot tall board next to the 8.5 foot tall detectves in front of the 9.5 foot tall door
Reading the trials and convictons secton on Corll’s Wiki page, we fnd the usual legal farce. Brooks and
Henley would confess to their crimes with Corll, and receive multple life imprisonment at their
subsequent trials. The state provided 82 pieces of evidence, including the torture board. Henley is
given his sentence by Judge Preston Dial on August 8. [The Prestons are big in Texas, see governor
Preston Smith, etc. In fact, Preston Smith was the governor when this event was faked. Preston was a
family name (surname) for both those men, the Prestons going back to generals in Virginia in the
Revolutonary War and before that to Ulster. They were also Smiths, Patons, Buchanans, Campbells,
Russells, Madisons, Warfelds, Dudleys, and their women were sometmes named Letce. So, the usual
suspects we have seen a thousand tmes.] Henley appeals his sentence and convicton, contending the
jury in his inital trial had not been sequestered, that his atorneys' objectons to news media being
present in the courtroom had been overruled, and citng that his defense team's atempts to present
evidence contending that the inital trial should not have been held in San Antonio had also been
overruled by the judge. Henley's appeal was upheld and he was awarded a retrial in December 1978.
His retrial began on June 18, 1979 in Corpus Christ. He would use the same atorneys William Gray and
Edwin Pegelow, who did not call any witnesses or experts for the defense in both trials. The defense
atorneys also atacked the credibility of Henley’s writen confession. What? For Brooks’ trial, his own
defense atorney, Jim Skelton, threw Henley under the bus. Skelton argued that it is was Henley who
did the actual killings, with Brooks helplessly watching from the sidelines. Brooks was found guilty of
the June 4, 1973 for the abducton and murder of 15-year-old William Ray Lawrence. Only one
convicton? Really? From Wiki we fnd, “Brooks also appealed his sentence, contending that the signed
confessions used against him were taken without his being informed of his legal rights, but his appeal
was dismissed in May 1979.”
I’m confused at this point. How do you confess to the killings and then expect an atorney to convince a
jury you didn’t kill anyone? Here’s a no brainer for you: why would Brooks and Henley turn themselves
into the authorites in the frst place, and then ask for more trials and appeals during their prison tme?
They could have easily just shot Corll, leaving him with the evidence and walk away right? Or if they felt
extreme guilt for the horrendous murders they commited, they would accept whatever fate gave them
afer turning themselves in.
Web searches fnd that, “Henley is serving his sentence at the Mark W. Michael Unit in Anderson
County, Texas, while Brooks spends his tme behind bars at the Terrell Unit near Rosharon, Texas, untl
he dies in a Galveston hospital on May 28, 2020 at the age of 65 due to exposure to COVID-19.”
Here are some of the photos of Henley and Brooks in custody:
Henley hanging loose at the jail I guess. Wow, how short is he? The usual 5'2” prety boy actor from
Hollywood, fown in for the part. The Dallas Voice, the premier media source for LGBT Texas, just
published an artcle (for some reason) on Henley where he asks for compassionate release. They post
this updated mugshot:
Except that isn't the same guy. Look at the two lines between the eyes. No match.
Henley was born to Elmer Wayne Henley Sr. (September 21, 1938 – June 18, 1986) and Mary Pauline
Henley (née Weed) (born May 4, 1937). Elmer Wayne Henley Sr., has a Findagrave page listed where we
fnd Henley Jr. is related to a Bradley, Fuchs (Fox), Rodgers, and a Warren. Although Wiki states that
Henley Jr. had 3 other siblings, only one of them is listed on that Findagrave page, Ronald Eugene
Henley. Henley Jr. is not listed. No easy info on his mother Mary. From Wiki we fnd, “In the spring of
1973, Henley atempted to enlist in the U.S. Navy, but his applicaton was rejected on June 28 due to
the fact he had dropped out of high school and—although a later intelligence test would reveal his IQ to
be 126—possessed a limited educaton.” Looks like a Hollywood cousin of Corll, since those families are
related to Corll's extended families above, including the Wolfs.
Moving on to Brooks.
Mug shot of Brooks looking very young. Those are obviously fake. Are we supposed to believe they lef
them out in the Sun for fve years? And the one from the side makes no sense. Was he leaning forward
with his hands on his knees?
Mugshot of Brooks looking much older here. That is also fake on purpose, since he turned to the lef
and not far enough. No name on the board. Below is a comparison of young and old Brooks as well as
his ridiculous grave stone. Not sure what happened to his glasses. In the younger photo, Brooks has
handcufs on, so I’m assuming this is when he was showing the police where the victms were buried.
Same shirt as his booking photo.
What is 248288? It's his prisoner number. But why would they put your prisoner number on your
gravestone? Stll a prisoner in death, I guess. Normally you have a birthdate there, not a govID#. I
would say that stone is fake, since it doesn't follow the form of gravestones in any way.
I remind you Brooks was an Owen, that name probably being a surname, not a given name. Linking him
again to the Families. As in Engels and Owen. And why did he die in a hospital in Galveston when jails
have their own infrmaries? He should have died in Rosharon.
There are no relatves listed at Findagrave. Brooks’ story gets weirder. Wiki says he was married to
Bridget Clark in 1973 and that they had one daughter, Rachel Lynn Brooks, who died at 18 in 1992. How
does a gay man sleeping with a serial killer manage to get married in 1973 and have a daughter born in
December, 1973? Below is a paste up of Bridget leaving a hearing with Atorney Ted Musick (far lef)
and Brooks’ father, Alton Brooks, behind her.
As for the victms, the list goes on and on and would take a while to unravel. I suppose we should look
at least a few. According to wiki, many of the victms had been friends of Brooks and Henley.
Willard Karmon “Rusty” Branch, Jr. (born 2 July, 1954, died Feb 9, 1973) was the alleged 23 rd victm. Born
to Willard Karmon Branch and Bonnie Sue Sherman Clark. Clark was the name of Brooks’ wife, as we just
saw, so we probably have cousins here. This was the frst victm I looked at and his mother shares a
name associated with one of the other killers. What are the odds of that? Bonnie would marry Leonard
L. Clark (1928-1190) in 1952. How was Rusty born 2 years afer his mother remarried a Clark?
In an AP News artcle, Willard was identfed by his sister 12 years later; his body lef in a Houston
morgue. She had seen his skeleton before, I guess. Harris County Medical Examiner Dr. Joseph
Jachimczyk claims the body of Willard was identfed by his sister, Susan McLemore. The artcle
contnues, “Branch, son of a former Houston Police ofcer, was 18 years old when his family reported
him missing in 1973.” From wiki we fnd he was the son of an HPD ofcer who subsequently died of
a heart atack during the search for his son. Right.
Rusty doesn’t have a sister listed at Findagrave but he did have a brother, Douglass William Branch,
allegedly a year and a half younger. That's odd: Willard and William. Could both go by Will. Even
odder: Here is his gravestone with a litle fower holder for Rusty in front of it with no dates.
So he lived on as his “brother”. The old brother switch we have seen many tmes, though it is usually a
sister trick. See Sharon/Pat Tate, Nicole and Denise Simpson, the Straten “sisters”, etc.
Two victms who died together in 1970 were James Eugene Glass and Danny Michael Yates, both about
14 years old. These two were found in the “boat shed” along with 15 others. Glass was born to Willie
Edwin Glass and Ima nee Cobb Glass. Ima is also a Murphy and a Leach.
For some more strangeness, we fnd that James Glass had an older brother Willie Edwin Glass Jr. who
has pictures with Chuck Norris and Muhammed Ali…
This indicates hidden connectons. From that same Findagrave page, we fnd the Cobbs of Houston
come from King Ranch people who came over in 1851 from Germany. We looked at them in my paper
on Marx's wife. These Glasses were formerly Pagodas, McGraws, Crowders, Sadlers, Phillips, Kiels,
Leaches, and Murphys. Some of those names are defnitely Jewish and they may all be. The Pegodas
stll have a large ranch in that area, see the Pegoda Ranch Catahoulas in Conroe. There used to be a
Pegoda, TX, about fve miles from Trinity. There is also a Pegoda Ranch LLC, with ofcers listed as
Guven, Bowen, and Feldman. All Jewish. There are Pegoda Ranch roads in Groveton and Woodlake.
On the paternal side the Glasses are Helmingers, Viviers, Valentnes, and Owens from Mansura, LA, and
before that Metz. So it looks like James Glass was a cousin of his fake killer David Brooks. Findagrave
and other sites break the Glass genealogy when it hits Rufus Glass and Georgia, but we can pick them up
again at Ancestry.com. There we go back to Virginia, where we fnd the with names like Uriah and
Zachariah and Lovezinski. From there we go back to Ireland, where they were also Flemings, Fieldings,
Scots and Gambles. More Jewish merchants. These aren't just any Flemings, they are the Earls
Wigdon, linking us to the Dudleys again. See the link to Preston above. The Fieldings take us to
Yorkshire and coal. The Scots take us immediately to the Howards, Barons of Efngdon, specifcally
William Howard, Lord High Admiral of the English Fleet. We also link immediately to the Greys,
Marquesses of Dorset. Which may link us forward to Corll's atorney Gray.
So, what was all that about again? It was about showing that the fake victm James Glass just happened
to be Houston royalty. That is why Coyote found his brother in a picture with Ali. I needed to make
sense of that and now I have.
From Yates’ Findagrave page, we fnd his uncle served in the US Navy. His father’s gravestone features a
Freemasonic G and a Marine Corps Emblem. Danny’s grave stone (on the right) has an engraving below
it which states, “Into your hands – oh Deity”. I wonder which Deity that would be?
OK a few more and then I have to wrap this paper up. I didn’t want this one to be much longer than 10
pages or so.
Donald Wayne and Jerry Lynn Waldrop were also found in the boat shed. They were born to Everet
Rufus Waldrop (1930-2006) and Mary Enez nee Hendrix Waldrop.
I will leave you with two pictures of a news artcle I found on the Findagrave page of Everet Rufus
Waldrop which I think sums up the show nicely. Back then, the only news people could gather were
from local newspapers and some of the Mainstream channels. As Miles has stated, people at that tme
could be strung along for years with these hoaxes. So here are two pages from the Atlanta Consttuton
(newspaper) in 1973.
Some fun things to notce: Waldrop wanted to work with the news in order to alert the police to
“homosexual animals.” The Waldrops complain that the police won’t give back the pictures of their sons,
leaving them with the only two photos above…The Waldrop also have 4 other children while living in
Atlanta? The boys went missing in 1971 by the way. Asked if he was relieved that the search was over,
Waldrop replied that he felt beter when he had hope. What? Who says that? We fnd that Waldrop
worked in the same neighborhood as Dean Allen Corll, slain alleged mass murderer. Whoops! And
fnally, my favorite quote: “13 of the 27 victms of Corll and his accomplices lived in the same
neighborhood. Waldrop wonders how 13 boys whose paths crossed every day in school and on the
streets could disappear without raising a general alarm.” Yah…I wonder too.
