The true story of how one dedicated forensic scientist restored the long-lost identities of the teenaged victims of the Candy Man, one of Americas most prolific serial killers
A masterwork of crime writing . . . Lise Olsen has taken a fifty-year-old story and made it new and fresh and terrifyingly real.SC. Gwynne, New York Times bestselling author of Rebel Yell
Houston, Texas, in the early 1970s was an exciting placethe home of NASA, the city of the future. But a string of more than two dozen missing teenage boys hinted at a dark undercurrent that would go ignored for too longWhile their siblings and friends wondered where they had gone, the Houston police department dismissed them as runaways, fleeing the Vietnam draft or conservative parents, likely looking to get high and join the counterculture.
It was only after their killer, Dean Corll, was murdered by an accomplice that many of those boys bodies were discovered in mass gravesCorll, known as the Candy Man, was a local sweet-shop owner who had enlisted two teens to lure their friends to parties, where they would be tortured and killed.
All of Corlls victims bodies were badly decomposed; some were only skeletal. Known collectively as the Lost Boys, many were never identified and some remained undiscoveredDecades later, when forensic anthropologist Sharon Derrick discovered a box of remains marked 1973 Murders in the Harris County Medical Examiners office, she recalled the horrifying crime from her own childhood, and knew she had to act. It would take prison interviews with Corlls accomplices, advanced scientific techniques, and years of tireless effort to identify these young men.
Investigative journalist Lise Olsen brings to life the teens who were hunted by a killer hiding in plain sight and the extraordinary woman who would finally give his unknown victims back their names and their dignityWith newly uncovered information about the case, The Scientist and the Serial Killer immerses readers in an astonishing story and reveals why these horrific events remain relevant decades later.
