Cops Make Worst Discovery of Their Lives in Predator_s Shed

A routine search warrant led officers to a shed of unspeakable horror. A predator's hiding place. A graveyard of the innocent.In 1973, police were led to a boat shed south of Houston, where serial killer Dean Corll, known as the "Candy Man," had buried the bodies of at least 28 teenage boys over a three-year spree of kidnap, torture, and murder[reference:0][reference:1]. Inside the dark stall, investigators uncovered the decomposing remains of eight victims in a single day, each body a testament to a reign of terror that had hidden in plain sight[reference:2]. The discovery remains one of the most harrowing in American criminal history.
