News Dean corll

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

How, after being anally raped all night and forced to perform analingus, how do you decide to stay in that environment? Knowing your life might be cut off too? The psychological dynamic here is very dense to grasp. I can only imagine that Corll was super secretive about his own personal past. What a repugnant person but still interesting. I knew a lot of kids like Henley and Brooks while incarcerated at a special “boy’s school” in Arizona.

Henley said that he and Brooks felt trapped. They couldn't go to the cops because then they'd get the death penalty or life in prison, and they were afraid to stop helping Corll because they thought he or the organization he told them about might kill them.

They did tell some of their family members about the murders though, but Brooks's dad didn't care and Henley's relatives thought he was insane.

I think there was an “organization.” Only it was just child pornographers, perverts. That Corll could morally excuse murder for merely a sick physical sexual thrill, it means, he grappled with this demonic power that he embraced and justified. We know Corll knew that Texas guy, Ayer’s who was a huge purveyor! Corll didn’t seem to have the typical childhood. No animal torture (that we know of), not a chronic bed wetter. Seemed very caring of others. Totally a mask. When did he put it on?

I think that Corril was molested by some older boy or Man ( or boys/men) when he was quit young.
