HOUSTON – Dean Corll is perhaps the most notorious killer in Houston’s history.
It may all seem like history, but the tendrils of his thee-year killing spree extend to present day with one set of unidentified child-size remains, still lacking a name since they were found nearly 50 years ago.
Between 1970 and 1973, Dean Corll, murdered at least 28 young boys in the Houston area. The killings were dubbed the “Houston Mass Murders,” and at the time, they were considered the worst serial murders in U.S. history.
“John Doe 1973” was one of those victims. He was never identified.
He was found on Aug. 9, 1973.
Based on the condition of the remains, he was likely deceased for 12 months or more prior to recovery.
He was white, possibly with Hispanic background. He had brown hair approximately seven inches in length (from the crown). He was found with belted Catalina swim trunks with vertical red, turquoise, gold, and dark blue stripes, with the letter C on the silver buckle and a khaki-colored long sleeved t-shirt that tied in the front. The shirt had a large blue and white peace symbol and the letters USMC, and L84MF written underneath the peace symbol. He was also found with dark blue corduroys with a 32-inch waist and a 30-inch inseam, a knotted leather ankle bracelet, and brown leather cowboy boots that were 12 inches in length and had the word NEOLITE on the heel.
Examination revealed that the boy had a mild form of spina bifida which may have caused him lower back pain or possibly affected his stride; however, it may not have produced any noticeable symptoms.
