The Clown and the Candyman

Reveals connections between a deranged serial killer named Dean Corll and another deranged serial killer named John Wayne Gacy through their criminal networks.

The 1970s witnessed an unprecedented rise in serial killers, marking a significant departure from previous US homicides. Two notorious figures were John Wayne Gacy in Chicago and Dean Corll in Houston. These killers exhibited extreme depravity beyond their outward personas, leading to the deaths of over 60 young men and women. Their actions caused immense grief to countless families and left some victims unidentifiable even today. Initially believed to be isolated incidents, recent revelations revealed a vast network of pedophiles spanning across America's most prominent institutions. THE CLOWN AND THE CANDYMAN delves into this disturbing underworld from the 1970s, exploring the dark corners where predators operated in secrecy.
