61 year old twice married and divorced Mary Cerruti had lived in the quiet, unassuming neighborhood of mostly Depression-era bungalows and senior citizens. She had lived here since 2001, for 14 years. It was peaceful here. Then developers moved in and began pressuring peopled to sell their homes so the developers could build multi-story condominiums and apartments. The community was changing from a tranquil area of lots of empty nesters to upscale loud, overcrowded neighborhood of yuppies and dinkies. She spoke out against the instrusion at a community meeting. Shortly thereafter, she was never seen again. Her house fell into disrepair with an overgrown lawn, and the mortage not paid. Police were called to look in on her and found a house full of stench and dead cats, but no Mary. The house was put up for auction and sold. The new owner leased it to a young Couple. The couple went into the attic, looked down an hole, and found her bones.

Dean Corll lived in the house in the rear from September 1971 to February 1972. David Brooks aided Corll in killing 2 boys at this location. Corll moved a lot to keep from having anyone see or hear anything that would bring suspicion upon him. Corll lived in 9 places within 3 places. He averaged about 4 months at each site. Corll along with his teenage high school dropout accomplices, Elmer Wayne Henley, and David Brooks enticed often delinquent middle and high school boys to come to Corll's homes to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana in a safe environment.

This is the site where the Corll Candy Store was located. Dean Corll (1939 - 1973) was a homosexual who left the military prematurely to work for his mother's candy company. He liked little boys and encouraged them to come over. He installed a pool table in the rear of the candy store so they would come more frequently and stay longer. He gave them free candy and earned the nickname of the "Candy Man." Corll had 2 hench boys, David Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley, who he would pay $100 to $200 a head for new victims to come to his various homes over the years. Brooks and Henley often aided Corll in killing their friends. Corll operated primarily in the Houston Heights neighborhood until 1973 when he moved to Pasadena and continued his killing. Corll was responsible for at least 28 murders between 1970 and 1973. However, he had earned the nickname in 1965 and he possibly murdered over 100 people counting the time from 1965 to 1970.

Learned so much!
My best friend and I spend the day with Keith and had an amazing time! Keith knows so much about Houston in general. We also of course learned a ton about true crime. This is definitely something you will love if you like true crime and learning about Houston.

Great Tour
Keith was an outstanding tour guide. His knowledge of the serial killers and psychopaths associated with the Houston area was incredible. As a retired history teacher and college professor, he brought historical context and fascinating details that made every stop engaging and memorable. What really stood out was how personable and accommodating he was. He adjusted the tour to fit our interests and pace, making it feel like a private experience rather than a standard tour. If you're looking for an informative, entertaining, and personalized tour, I highly recommend Keith. You won't be disappointed!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Psychos, Killers, and Victims Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Houston.
How much does Psychos, Killers, and Victims Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Houston usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Psychos, Killers, and Victims Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Houston is not rushed.
Is Psychos, Killers, and Victims Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Houston, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Psychos, Killers, and Victims Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Psychos, Killers, and Victims Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Psychos, Killers, and Victims Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Houston can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Houston and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Psychos, Killers, and Victims Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Houston within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Houston?
+
Houston's list leads with Space Center Houston and NASA Johnson tours, then museum district visits, Buffalo Bayou kayaking, Galveston beach days and some of the deepest food tour scenes in Texas. NASA access levels differ between tour tiers. On Outty we rank every Houston experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Astroville Houston Tunnel Tour: Downtown History & Hidden Gems, The Escape Game Houston: Epic 60-Minute Adventures at City Centre, The Escape Game Houston: 60-Minute Adventures at The Galleria. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Houston?
+
February to April and October to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Houston?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
