Elmer Wayne Henley: From Lure to Executioner – The Boy Who Killed The Candy Man

In this gripping episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale explores the disturbing story of Elmer Wayne Henley, the teenage accomplice turned killer who helped Dean Corll — the infamous Candy Man — abduct, torture, and murder at least 28 young boys in Houston, Texas, during the early 1970s. Henley wasn’t just a witness. He was a recruiter, a handler, and at times, a participant in Corll’s unspeakable crimes. For three years, he lured classmates and friends to their deaths… until the night he turned the gun on his mentor and brought the killing spree to a shocking end. Damien Vale takes listeners deep into the twisted world of manipulation, complicity, and guilt. This is not just a story of evil — it’s the tale of a boy who walked willingly into darkness, and what happens when the puppet cuts his strings.
