The Serial Killer's Apprentice On Investigative Discovery Hosted By Dr Katherine Ramsland

from Arroe Collins Like It's Live · host Arroe Collins

Investigation Discovery revisits one of the most sinister killers in recent history, Dean Corll, and features an in-depth interview with his accomplice, Elmer Wayne Henley Jr., marking the first time Henley has spoken about his crimes in over 50 years.Speak with Renowned Criminologist, Dr. Katherine Ramsland who dives into the mind and memory of Henley – and what motivated him to act as Corll’s accomplice in what was known as the largest mass murder in US history at the time.Infamously known as “The Candyman Killer”, Dean Corll stalked the streets of Houston, Texas in the early to mid 1970s luring and brutally killing at least 28 young men. Corll operated largely undetectably for years due not only to his unassuming nature in the community, but largely because of the help he received by two young accomplices – Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. and David Brooks. However, in 1973, Henley fatally shot Corll and subsequently confessed to their crimes, leading authorities to Corll’s burial ground to recover the victims’ bodies. Decades later, Henley speaks now for the first time in 50 years with Dr. Ramsland, offering unprecedented and chilling insight into what led to his complicities in Corll’s crimes. Featuring conversations between Dr. Ramsland and Henley from the 60 hours they spoke, THE SERIAL KILLER’S APPRENTICE will offer a wholistic portrait of Henley, his psyche, and the tragedy that still lingers in Houston, Texas following Corll’s reign of terror. In addition to Dr. Ramsland bringing extensive experience to unpacking Henley’s accomplice and master dynamic with Corll, the docuseries will also offer access to expansive archival footage and insight from victim’s loved ones, local authorities, and journalists who are still unpacking the extent of Corll’s crimes decades later. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
