Description

This auction is for a letter from Texas teen serial killer Elmer Wayne Henley, Jr. Between 1970 to 1973, Wayne Henley participated in a series of murders in Houston, TX, with accomplices the "Candy Man" Dean Corll and David Brooks. Wayne Henley was 17 at the time of his arrest. 28 teenage boys were abducted, raped, tortured, and murdered by Dean Corll, while Wayne Henley and David Brooks are believed to have primarily lured the victims, who in some cases were their friends. Another version of events is Dean Corll was a simple-minded man, manipulated by Wayne Henley and David Brooks, and the pair took a more active role in the murders with Corll. It's not disputed that on 8/8/1973 Wayne Henley would shoot and kill Dean Corll and the case broke. It was the highest serial killer body count to date, surpassing the then record of 25 held by California serial killer Juan Corona. Addition bodies attributed to Wayne Henley, David Brooks, and Dean Corll would be found, but no additional charges were filed. Wayne Henley was sentenced to multiple life sentences.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: The missive is two pages on one legal size sheet of stationery, dated 2/29/2004, and signed, "Wayne." The original mailing envelope is postmarked 3/11/2004. The letter and envelope come inside a protective magazine sleeve with an acid free board. Message me with any questions you might have. Thanks for having a look-see.
