277. Truman Capote's Lost Treasures | Houston Diary

We are going to take a little jaunt with our man Dominick Dunne through Connecticut in this and future episodes. Dunne writes in June 2006 for Vanity Fair about a whole lot of scoops coming from the state of his home retreat. We begin with a line Nick got about a whole cache of secret papers left behind by Truman Capote investigating a case that he never will write about, although we have his research. Also, included are details of this grisly case in which Dean Corll, the Candy Man, murdered at least 28 men in Texas, soliciting the assistance of other teenagers, including Edmer Wayne Henley. It is a whole spiderweb of connected bits in this literary and true crime journey.Continue your investigation with ad-free and bonus episodes on Patreon!To advertise on Done & Dunne, please reach out to info@amplitudemediapartners.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
