About this Item
Paperback. The horrifying story of one of America's most vicious mass killings: the sex murders of 26 young boys in Texas. Featuring the Candy Man Killer. They called 33yr old Dean Coril The Candy Man. Coril was the all-American "buddy". He was tall and strong, clean-cut and crew-cut: the guy who drove his mother's candy van and delighted neighbourhood kids with free candy and rides on his motorcycle, who lured them with toys and promises of "games" into the back of his bright, white van. Behind Coril's smile and good manners there lurked the warped mind and deadly passions of a psychopath, a man who killed to satisfy his lusts. When Coril was shot down in his Houston house of torture the grisly story of his secret life exploded into headlines. Coril's homosexuality and sadism masterminded the worst mass murder, at the time, in U.S. history - the torture, mutilation and killing of 26 helpless boys between the ages of 13 and 19. Also features Wayne Henley and David Brooks the other 2 members making up the trio of sadists. Illus. with 16pp. of never before published b/w photographs. 194pp. mass market p/back. Lightly browned pp. creased covers (see image), sunned sp. A G. only copy but one of the rarest of the books written about Dean Coril. Seller Inventory # 16779
