Mark Steven Scott was last seen alive on Tuesday, April 20, 1972 in the Heights neighborhood of Houston. He was lured by Elmer Henley and David Brooks to 925 Schuler St: the then-address of serial killer Dean Corll. The following morning, Scott was strangled to death by Henley and his body buried at High Island Beach in Galveston County - a location where six other victims of Corll were to be found buried in 1973. (A seventh victim, Joseph Lyles, would be found buried very close to High Island Beach in 1983.)

Despite the admission to Scott having been buried at High Island Beach by both Brooks and Henley, Mark Scott's remains have never been found. Following Hurricane Ike in 2008, the section of beach where Corll's known victims were buried remains submerged beneath sea level.

Yes your welcome!!! I was shocked to see that he isn’t listed on NamUs!

Well, he’s been misidentified at least once. But I believe the poor boy is very much missing.

Is it possible he could be a Gacy victim?

Close resemblance, for sure. Do you have a link to the UID's profile? I'm not familiar with Gacy's victims. I'd almost bet Mark is somewhere Corll has buried victims, but there's always the chance he's not...

This is all i have on him. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Any chance he could be White Socks?

I honestly don't think he is either UID. But if either of you feel strongly about the boys, please submit!

 

[Molly's Mom]

I'm pretty sure Mark has always been a presumed Corll victim. But, it never hurts to submit a possible match to at least rule one out.

I've heard about speculations that Mark might be an early accomplice of Corll. I wonder which high school he attended.

I've been searching through yearbooks from that area that I have access to. So far found Ridinger and Frank Aguirre, still searching for others

Are we totally sure that he is one of Corll victims? Is it possible that Henley and Brooks were speaking about another abduction?
I find he is similar to Riverside John Doe, the victim had the "Mark" tattoo, the sign on the left eyebrow that resembles a scar, and the letter speaking of a lawyer that has defended him when he was charged for holding a weapon (same thing happened to the Doe)

Հենլին և Բրուքսը խոսում է հերթական առևանգման մասին։
Ես գտնում եմ, որ նա նման է Ռիվերսայդ Ջոն Դոյին, զոհն ուներ «Mark» դաջվածքը, ձախ հոնքի վրա սպի հիշեցնող նշանը, և նամակը, որը խոսվում է փաստաբանի մասին, որը պաշտպանում է իրեն, երբ նրան մեղադրանք է առաջադրվել զենք պահելու համար (նույնը պատահել է եղնիկի հետ)

That could be because of the name and the arrest, and because Mark's body was never found. But I checked and the guy you mentioned also had a "Gemini" tattoo, and Mark's zodiac sign was Leo. Mark was born on July 26, 1954. But I also suspect that there's something we don't know about Mark's death, or maybe Dean sold him to John Norman, given the fact that Dean seems to have worked with Norman.
