Ep. 324 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “The Serial Killer’s Apprentice”

Bromance Month goes dark again — really dark — with this new look at a hideous, landmark serial killing case, the first of its kind to be covered by national media as body after body was discovered inside a sweltering boat shed baking in the merciless heat of Houston Texas. In THE SERIAL KILLER'S APPRENTICE, psychologist Katherine Ramsland — who also wrote a biography of Christopher's mother — interviews the imprisoned accomplice to Dean Corll, the so-called Candyman Killer, who tortured, murdered and raped young men throughout Texas in the 1960's. Was Wayne Henley a willing accomplice and a budding serial killer himself?  Or was he pitched into a state of "temporary psychopathy" by mean circumstances, a broken home and a ruthless killer and sadist who kept him in a state of fear?
