    What happened to Dean Corll?

    While most serial killers end up behind bars, Corll's fate was determined by his accomplices.

    In August 1973, Henley brought home 19-year-old Timothy Curley and 15-year-old Rhonda Williams to be the group's next victims.

    However, Corll got mad that he brought home a girl and later bound and gagged all three of them while they were sleeping.

    Henley then convinced Brooks to set him free so that he could help kill the others but during the attack, he realized that he had enough, so he took Corll's 20-caliber pistol and shot him six times.

    “I had Dean in a corner, see, and he told me, ‘You won’t kill me.’ I shot him—coolly—until I ran out of bullets," Henley recalled, via Texas Monthly.

    "I shot him once in the forehead; my hand went down, and I shot him twice in the shoulder. I stepped aside, he ran through the door, and I shot him once in the back of the shoulder, and twice in the small of the back. To make sure he stayed shot.”

    Where are Elmer Wayne Henley and David Brooks now?

    After Corll's death, Henley was taken into custody, where he confessed to the killings and helped police locate some of the bodies of the missing boys.

    Both Henley and Brooks were then sentenced to life in prison.

    “My only regret is that Dean isn’t here now, so I could tell him what a good job I did killing him," Henley said.
