would revive to find himself strapped, face inwards, to the specially constructed plywood board. Dean would then rape him repeatedly and violate him with the variously-sized glass tubes. Wayne also got in on the act, pulling out the boy’s pubic hairs. David Brooks occasionally called round to find Corll and Henley torturing one of their prisoners, though he’d claim that he watched but didn’t join in.
Cruelly, Wayne remained in touch with the parents of some missing boys and helped them distribute posters. The parents had no idea that he’d already helped to kill their sons and had buried the bodies in Dean’s boat shed.
The torture worsens
But pushing an oversized dildo into a victim’s rectum can’t make up for more than thirty years of repression. Hearing a boy scream can’t compensate for all of the years when you were emotionally scarred. As such, Dean Corll had to think up greater and greater excesses in order to assuage his blood lust – and he took to castrating his victims with a knife.
At least one victim had his testicles bitten off and it’s telling that during this period Dean Corll was especially anxious about his own genitalia as he’d developed a water pocket in his scrotum which caused him increasing pain. He told a female friend that he couldn’t afford to have this hydrocele treated, but it’s more likely that he was fearfulof the operation. He delayed until he was in agony then had the hydrocele removed.
His cruelty to his victims continued. One boy was viciously kicked to death whilst others were injured with bullets, sometimes being kept alive for several days.
The killing spree escalates
Dean Corll needed these torture murders to provide him with everything he lacked – self-esteem, the gratification he couldn’t find through his boring job, revenge at those who had punished him throughout his childhood. But he found, as most serial killers do, that the good feelings lasted for a shorter and shorter time. As a result he started to encourage Wayne to bring him two victims rather than one. Some of these duos were friends, others were brothers. He would torture them repeatedly then make one of the boys watch whilst his mate or sibling was slowly killed.
Dean also began to abuse younger victims as his need for satisfaction increased: most of his prey had been in their mid-teens but now he tortured and killed a nine-year-old boy who lived across the road.
Wayne Henley noted that Dean’s blood lust was up, that he now asked for more and more victims. He believed that Dean would only be happy when he brought him a new boy every day.
The men continued to kill with the utmost brutality. One day Wayne fired a gun as he entered Dean’s room and it accidentally hit one of their torture-victims in the jaw. David Brooks witnessed the macabre incident. Unperturbed, Dean Corll continued to torture the badly injured boy for the rest of the day.
David Brooks leaves
By 1973, David had moved away from Dean’s neighbourhood , married another teenager and impregnated her. This now left Wayne as Dean Corll’s sole procurer, and the strain began to tell. In March 1973, he told his friends that he was never coming back to the Heights again and he travelled to Mount Pleasant to live with his dad, got a job in a gas station and resolved to put the past behind him. But within a month relations had soured and he returned to his mother’s house, soon returning to Dean Corll’s outwardly affable company.
Wayne’s mother thought that Wayne treated Dean like a father, and Wayne told friends that he was more like a brother – but in reality he lurched between being sexually abused himself or finding Dean younger boys to sexually assault.
The constant killing was taking its toll on the younger man, who now begged a friend to go to Australia with him, offering to pay the friend’s boat fare. He was drinking more heavily than ever and his speech was often slurred. He also asked older friends and
