I watched his testimony live...it was chilling....
He discussed the killings as you or I would discuss what we had for lunch....very matter of fact....
He also discussed how he did the killings for sexual gratification.....very sick....even the Judge chocked on his words after some of the testimony...
NeverGore :^)
I turned on the TV and he was on, it was chilling. He admitted he did this because of "sexual fantasy." I was glad to switch the station, I couldn't take it. We never know who is walking in our midst.
This guy had zero,nada, nothing for his victims.
The guy cool and calmly describe his days at "work".
He touched on some of the sexual aspects of his "work" but didn't go into detail.
Scary! ...where is the next one like him?
This guy is a poster child for the death penalty. If he ever gets out of prison for whatever reason it will be business as usual and he will kill again.
I was stationed at McConnell AFB in Wichita when his spree started. My then gun scared wife was suddenly interested in learning how to use those evil guns I owned. We lived off base and if I was working the night shift she had the 12 guage pump and the .45 ACP beside the bed. I called ahead if I got off early.
Where is the next one like him? Prolly driving a rig from state to state, with a hostage he would torture and slowly kill; Or making Candy (the candy man) in a Texas town, "the rope", another strangler from gainsville.
There are all kinds of sicko's running around, and from time to time they catch one. I used to read Anne Rule's paperbacks, who wrote about many of them.
The worst of it is it can be someone you have known for a long time and completely trust, or it can be a relative stranger, a new person in town that seems harmless. You just never know.
Somebody needs to get rid of him when he's in prison.
Sounds like the b-movie, 'Suspect Zero'. ...his property had 100s of graves when finally caught.
The writer, Hannah Arendt, wrote the phrase to describe that infamous Nazi Adolph Eichmann, in her book "Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil".

The "Candyman"(Dean Corll) had a lot of victims buried as well, 30 boys that they found in the early 70's. He was a homosexual who murdered teenagers in Huston. People thought that their teenage kids just left home like they often do at that age. THis guy owned a candy factory, lived in the neighborhood for years, Always gave free candy to the kids.
I don't think there has ever been a movie made aabout this case, but I could be wrong.
I'm sure someone will take care of him like they did Dahmer. I don't think he lasted a month.
Wasn't "The Candy Man" one such Ronald Clark O'Brien, who poisoned his son on Halloween with Pixy Stix laced with cyanide circa 1974?
I remember the Dean Allen Corll case...he was killed by one of his accomplices, Elmer Wayne Henley, who is serving a life term in prison. Those two (and one other actor, if I remember right) were responsible by at least 30 abduction/murders, as you point out, but I don't recall that Corll had a nickname such as "The Candy Man." I do remember the case being referred to as the "Boathouse Murders," because many of the victims were buried in the dirt floor of a boat storage shed.
You are correct. Corll didn't have a candy factory either. But, he did have a boatshed.
I turned this on and caught part of this. I had to turn the channel, it was too much to bear.
I don't know how the families sat through it. How could they listen to someone talking about killing their loved ones?
What a sick monster! All those poor people.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens everyday in this country. Somebody just slaughtered a family of six in Arizona. What's unprecedented, IMO, is that the judge questioned and encouraged the prisoner for a full detailed confession of each count, while on live national TV.
As for the death penalty, don't be so sure. Once he's in prison, all it would take is for someone to call him a snitch for the warden, and he's dead. The inmates might just kill him anyways for no reason at all.
Since the guy killed kids, I bet a "lifer" will do such. IIRC, child killers are the lowest of the low on the prison caste system.
