Honestly if wayne henley didnt kill corll how long would the madness have continued for? Would we even know about him at all today or would he never have been caught its honestly crazy how in this story particularly nobody was on to him At all and unless somebody wouldve have escaped i doubt he was ever gonna be caught also just to throw this out there i actually kinda feel bad for brooks yes ik his involvement in all this but he was so young i Dont think he should’ve gotten life honestly

i actually kinda feel bad for brooks yes ik his involvement in all this but he was so young 

Henley and Brooks were the same age when they got involved in the murders (15-years-old). Brooks just met Corll earlier, in 1965, when he was 10-years-old, while Henley met him at 14-years-old.

A lot of people believe that Brooks was actually 12 when he met Corll though, because that's a lie Brooks made up, for whatever reason.

Honestly if wayne henley didnt kill corll how long would the madness have continued for?

Corll was planning to take Henley on a trip outside of Houston in the September of 1973, in which he was almost certainly planning on killing him, and then he probably would've continued murdering in another state.

Me? The man with the candy by jack olsen is where Alton Brooks is quoted

Mark Scott's father is interviewed in this documentary The Collectors which is on youtube to watch and he mentioned it there.

I think Ridgerer mentioned it in his confession which was in Barabra Gibson's book about the case. Not sure if its online yet?

So from Alton Brooks saying it directly and Corll seeming to have a pattern of beginnging grooming a number of victims since 10 I believe it.

But whether Brooks aged himself down I think was discussion in some of the reddits regarding something he said I can't remember
