We all have a near instinctual knowledge to protect children from white windowless vans for fear of a man with candy waiting to lure them away. Have you ever wondered where that story comes from? Sunshine and Alix are taking on the show's first full blown serial killer and it's a doozy. In this episode, they talk about the life of Dean Corll - The Candy Man - all the way up to his first confirmed murder. Content warning: this episode talks about some seriously heavy topics and goes into details about torture, assault, murder, and sexual violence.
