Elmer Wayne Henley Biography

Elmer Wayne Henley is one of the most popular and richest Prisoner who was born on May 9, 1956 in Houston, Texas, United States. In the latter part of 1971 Henley was also spending more time in the company of Corll. Corll stated to Henley that Corll had been involved with organized theft and that he, Brooks and Henley burglarized numerous addresses, and Henley received small amounts of money. In one instance, as an apparent test of character Corll inquired of Henley whether he was willing to commit murder if needed Henley was asked this question, and Henley responded, “Yes.”

The identity of this first victim Henley assisted in the abduction of is not known, although it is possible the youth was 17-year-old Willard Karmon Branch, who disappeared in February 1972 and whose emasculated and strangled body was buried in Corll’s boat shed.

Henley later told police that, for several months, he completely ignored Corll’s offer. However, in early 1972, he decided he would “help find a boy” for Corll as he was in dire financial circumstances. At Corll’s home, Corll and Henley devised a ruse in which they would lure a youth to Corll’s home and Henley would then cuff his hands behind his back, release himself, then con the victim into placing the handcuffs upon himself. The pair then drove around Houston Heights and, at the corner of 11th and Studewood, Henley persuaded a youth to enter Corll’s GTX. The victim was lured to Corll’s Schuler Street apartment on the promise of smoking some marijuana. At Corll’s address, Henley helped con the teenager into donning the handcuffs, then watched Corll pounce on the youth, tie his feet and place tape over his mouth. Henley then left the youth alone with Corll, believing he was to be sold into the sex slavery ring. The next day, Corll paid Henley $200.

In the same time, Henley was aware of disappearances that were eerie in his area: since the previous year’s December there had been at least eight teenagers aged 13-17 had vanished in Houston Heights. Henley was close to two of the youngsters, David Hilligiest and Gregory Malley Winkle who had disappeared on the 29th of May 1971, in the direction of an area swimming pool. Henley himself was actively involved in the search for them.

It was the cold winter months of 1971 at the age of 15years old, Wayne Henley was again taken by David Brooks to meet Corll. In his confession , which was made two years ago, Henley told detectives Brooks attracted him to Corll’s house with the promise that he would be part of “a deal where I could make some money.” In Corll’s house (where Henley was likely to be considered to be a victim) He was informed to Corll that he was a member of an organization located in Dallas that had recruited youngsters for a child sexual slavery rings. Henley was given the same amount that was offered to Brooks ($200) in exchange for any young man who he would be able to bring to Corll.

Corll moved to an address at Westcott Towers in June 1972 and within one month, a 17-year-old youth named Steven Sickman had been murdered. On October 3, Henley assisted Corll in the abduction and murder of two Heights boys named Wally Simoneaux and Richard Hembree. David Brooks later stated Hembree was accidentally shot in the mouth by Henley who, according to Brooks’ confession “just came in (the room where the two boys were bound) waving the .22 and accidentally shot one of the boys in the jaw.” The two boys were killed later the same day Hembree was shot and later buried in the boat shed. One month later, a 19-year-old named Richard Kepner was abducted while walking to phone his fiancée from a pay phone.
