During our interview, Elmer Wayne Henley made a point of denying that he created this type of art, but clearly that’s not true.
Not only did Texas grant a serial killer full immunity for at least seven more murders (in exchange for nothing, by the way) and then vanish the hypnosis tapes, but they also allowed him to paint an adorable pink painting mocking all 27 victims of the Houston Mass Murders.
The piece features a pink Texas silhouette covered by 27 little skulls. Aren’t they cute? What about the drops of blood that make it pop? And the accent pickaxe and shovel at the top certainly make a statement. Last but not least, there is the stenciled name of Henley’s mentor and master—Dean A. Corll, the “Candy Man.” Bravo, Texas!
Doesn’t this Texas-sponsored masterpiece just scream remorse? What about the time and care it took to stencil his master’s name, Dean A. Corll, “The Candy Man”? What a loving gesture. Wonder how much he was paid per skull this time.
For someone who’s claimed to be a victim of his master’s control, this artwork certainly paints a different story.
To find out what lies beneath the artwork, I sat across from Henley myself. What unfolded in those three hours didn’t just add to the history books. It shattered the official narrative.
Armed with police photographs the killer had never seen, I pushed Henley until he threw down the gauntlet, exposing a web of bombshell claims that authorities have spent decades keeping quiet.
Originally published as two separate chronological volumes, this definitive combined edition brings the entire three-hour interview together under one roof for the first time in Houston Mass Murders: The Elmer Wayne Henley Interview: (Serial Parts 4 & 5). This special edition stands alone.
Packed with grainy case photographs and chilling direct revelations, it strips away decades of silence and lays out the hidden mechanics of the Harris County justice system, moving from why Henley chose to kill—forsaking the chance to save eighteen boys—to vanished district-attorney hypnosis tapes, secret immunity agreements, and yet another misidentified teenage boy.
The cover I designed is a puzzle. The text is the key. Turn the page and see what the official story left in the dark.
