In the early 1970s, Houston became the setting for one of the most disturbing serial murder cases in American history. Dean Corll, known locally as the “Candy Man”, used his access to teenage boys and the trust of their families to conceal a prolonged pattern of abduction, assualt, and murder. With the help of two teenage accomplices, Corll lured dozens of victims to his home and other locations, where the violence escalated unchecked for years. The case only came to light after one of those accomplices turned on him, exposing a scale of brutality that shocked investigators and the public alike. In this episode, we trace Corll’s progression from quiet neighborhood presence to orchestrator of mass murder, examine the role of manipulation and control within the group dynamic, and explore how his Capricorn Sun, Gemini Moon, and Leo Rising reflect calculated authority, compartmentalization, and a need to dominate while remaining unseen.
