Throughout the episode, Woody reminds listeners that this movement is about accountability—not politics—and asks everyone to respectfully contact the appropriate officials, share the available resources, and continue advocating until Hailey receives the justice she deserves.

08/08/2026 | 44 mins.On today's episode of True Crime Time, Woody opens with updates on both What Happened to Madison and Justice for Hailey, sharing his hope that significant developments are on the horizon while thanking the Real Life Real Crime community for continuing to advocate for victims and their families.
The focus of today's episode is one of the most disturbing serial murder cases in American history—the Houston Mass Murders, also known as the Candyman Murders.
Woody takes listeners through the horrifying crimes of Dean Corll, who, with the assistance of teenagers Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. and David Brooks, lured, tortured, sexually assaulted, and murdered at least 28 young boys and men in the Houston area between 1970 and 1973. He examines how Corll manipulated vulnerable teenagers into becoming accomplices, the failures that allowed so many disappearances to go unnoticed, and the brutal methods used to terrorize his victims.
The episode also explores:
The troubled childhood of Elmer Wayne Henley Jr.
How Dean Corll groomed Henley and David Brooks into participating in kidnappings and murders.
The progression of the murders from isolated victims to one of the largest serial killing cases in U.S. history.
The torture board, psychological manipulation, and escalating brutality used by Corll.
The dramatic night Henley finally turned Corll's own gun on him, ending the killing spree and leading investigators to dozens of hidden victims.
Throughout the episode, Woody reflects on missed investigative opportunities, the devastating impact on the victims' families, and how one of America's most prolific serial killers was ultimately stopped by one of his own accomplices.
