Since,August 8th was the day Henley shot Dean Corll and they started digging in the boat shed that afternoon,I would assume that,that's where they were found ,apparently among some of the last killed .
They also found that day James Stanton Dreymala 13,Corll's last victim,who Corll lured to his Pasadena home with the promise of pop bottles to return for the refund money,and Charles Cobble and Marty Ray Jones,two aquaintances of Wayne Henley.
I dont know who all else they found that first day.
Stanton Dreymala played on my baseball team and lived around the corner from me in Meadowcreek in Southeast Houston. I believe me and another friend of mine were the last ones that knew him to see him alive at the Meadowcreek Bowling alley. He asked us if we wanted to go to a party, which we declined. A couple of hours later, a neighbor of his came to the bowling alley saying that Stanton had gotten in an arguement with his father and left home without permission, and we went looking for him. He was not seen again until they found his bicycle and then his body in the boatshed. I still am haunted by what could have happened to us if we had decided to join him.
Wow,you guys thanks for sharing your info.Stanton Dreymala played on my baseball team and lived around the corner from me in Meadowcreek in Southeast Houston.

Yeah ,they are all evil but this one has got to be right up there.It was called "Mass Murderers" and it also featured Charles Whitman and Michael Ryan. It will probably be shown again on A&E, The Biography Channel as well....
Nyla4; There's a good (if you can call it that)read here: http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_killers/predators/corll/index_1.html
alot of what was said by both Henley and Brooks is there.
Evil, is all I can say about "The Candy Man" and his cohorts :behindbar
I just heard about this.more here...

I was looking for matches on DoeNet 1008UMTX, and came across Norman Prater. It seemed like a perfect match.

http://doenetwork.org/cases/1008umtx.html
I checked the WS board and found this thread, indicating that he had been called in, but no indication that he was ruled out. So I called Melanie Schramm of TX-DPS, to see whether he had been ruled out. She said that she hears Prater's name all the time. I suggested that they post their rule-out listings on NamUs, so that they won't keep getting so many redundant call-ins. She replied that she is going to talk to her superiors to see if they can start doing that.
After checking with Houston LE, she replied back that he was ruled out on DNA.
I will post it on the rule-out thread so that at least WS members won't keep calling this one in.
After Kline made a post stating that there were two books on this case and named them I ordered them from Amazon. I read The Man with the Candy but Mass Murder in Houston in 1974 is still in my pile of books I have to be read. I truly think that Brooks and Henley could give the police names of possible identities of who the bodies are.
Thank you Kline for telling me about the book and basic information on this case.
In David's statement he made a nasty comment to the effect that one boy was a nasty person and that no one was going to miss him. Has this boy ever been identified?
Could Brooks and Henley's full statement's be released under F.O.I.A? Or maybe not if these are still open cases? I would be will to shell out the money and share here on websleuths if it is possible to obtain them.
I really hate that these two escaped the death penalty.
Has anyone ever written to either of them? I feel that they have been able to fly under the radar (esp. Brooks) and I wonder if any new information could be gleamed from them.
I posted this in the Jury room but I though others who are interested in this case might find this interesting and new and I wanted everyone to be able to view it. It is news footage of Henley giving an interview, news footage of Henley by a police car while audio of his phone call to his mother after he shot Corll, pictures of Dean's house, interview footage with the Hilligiest family, footage of digs, and more.
There is no mention of David Owen Brooks though and that makes me extremely mad. It seems like he is the forgotten serial killer and I think he may hold the key to the identities of the poor victims and be able to put more information about Corll and Henley out there.

I'm sorry that I have no possibles on the unidentified boys but I thought this was interesting and wanted to share it. Plus, I thought that maybe some of you super sleuthers might be able to pick up on some small detail.
