The episode explores the notorious "Candy Man" murders committed by serial killer Dean Corll, who targeted dozens of young men in the Houston area during the early 1970s. Decades after his death, the nonprofit Texas EquuSearch is collaborating with law enforcement to locate undiscovered remains based on information from one of Corll's surviving accomplices. The episode highlights the tragic history of the case, including the original police department's failure to investigate the disappearances of victims who were wrongly classified as runaways. Current efforts focus on using modern technology and fresh leads to provide closure to families who believe their missing relatives were among Corll's casualties. Despite these renewed searches, one victim remains unidentified, leading forensic experts to seek the public's help in finally uncovering his name.
