The Candy Man: A Chronicle Of The Houston Mass Murders
from Plastic Paddy · host Steven Ellis
To the outside world, he was the "Candy Man" or "Pied Piper," a friendly and seemingly unassuming figure. This persona stemmed from his family's ownership of a candy factory in the Houston Heights neighborhood, where he was known to give out free candy to local children and teenagers. This seemingly harmless act was, in reality, a deliberate strategy to build trust and gain access to the young boys who would become his victims.
