Reséndiz broke into the home of 87-year-old Leafie Mason in Hughes Springs in 1998. He beat her to death with a fireplace tool. His other murders were just as violent. Reséndiz died by lethal injection in Huntsville in 2006. YouTubeDean Arnold Corll – The Candy ManDean Corll abducted, tortured, raped and murderd at least 28 teenage boys and young men between 1970 and 1973 in the Houston area. Corll would lure his victim’s with the offer of a ride or an invite to a party. He then would then restrain the victim, carry out whatever evil deed against them then strangle or shoot the victim. The bodies were then buried at either a boat shed or near Lake Sam Rayburn in deep East Texas. One victim was buried in Jefferson County. Corll had two accomplices, David Owen Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley. Henley shot Corll in 1973. Brooks died at the Terrell Unit in 2020 and Henley is serving a life sentence at the Mark Stiles Unit in Jefferson County. Phantom Killer – Never IdentifiedIn 1946, right after World War II, there were four unsolved murders in Texarkana on both the Texas and Arkansas side. These attacks happened between February and May of that year and mostly involved young couples who were stopped along a “lovers lane.” A couple that survived an attack described the man as wearing a pillow case over his head with holes cut out for his eyes. The perpetrator was never caught. It is believed that the slasher movie genre began with The Town That Dreaded Sundown in 1976 which used these killings as the basis of the movie’s plot.

This went on for about a year with no clues into who was doing it. Townsfolk of Austin at that time lived in fear. In total, seven women and one man were killed while six women and two men were seriously injured by the so-called Servant Girl Annihilator. No one was ever caught for these murders. Some believe whoever this person was traveled to England and became Jack the Ripper as that killing spree started about three years after these attacks and the killer used similar killing methods. YouTubeJoseph Douglas Ball – Butcher of ElmendorfJoseph Ball was born in Illinois and was a descendent of notorious slave trader and breeder and kidnapper John Hart Crenshaw. Ball made his way to Elmendorf, Texas after the end of prohibition. It is here that he murdered as many as 20 women throughout the 1930’s but only two of those killings were proven. He was also known as The Alligator Man as it was thought that he fed most of his victims to a pet alligator. When authorities came to question him at his job in 1938, he pulled a gun from the cash register and shot himself. YouTubeGenene Anne Jones – The Angel of DeathGenene Jones was an LVN at Bexar County Hospital (now the University Hospital of San Antonio) where an unusual amount of children began dying. The hospital asked all the LVNs to resign in the hopes of avoiding a lawsuit. Jones moved on to a clinic in Kerrville. The doctor began noticing puncture marks in a bottle of succinylcholine, a drug that causes temporary paralysis of all skeletal muscles, as well as those that control breathing, and can cause cardiac arrest in small children. Jones was mixing this drug with water and used that to poison six children at that clinic. She used the same drug to kill 15-month-old Chelsea McClellan and was sentenced to 99 years in prison in 1985. In total, it is believed that Jones may have killed up to 60 infants and children though that real number may never be known. She is still in prison today.

He shot and killed Brand and Dunnam. McDuff would later turn himself him. He died by lethal injection in Huntsville in 1998. YouTubeHenry Lee Lucas – The Confession KillerIt’s hard to tell how many people Henry Lucas actually killed because he confessed to about 600 murders. It was determined that a majority of those confessions were false and meant to throw authorites off the trail of his actual crime. This seemed to work on Texas Rangers. They used his confessions to close many cases prematuarlly just to get them off the books. After The Dallas Times Herald investigated this, massive changes were made in the law enforcement organization. Lucas was arrested in 1983 in Texas for unlawful possession of a firearm. He confessed to killing two people, 82-year-old Kate Rich of California and 15-year-old Frieda Powell of Florida. He is thought to have committed murders in Michigan and Florida as well. Lucas died of congestive heart failure in 2001 while serving a life sentence in Huntsville. YouTubeTommy Lynn Sells – The Coast to Coast KillerIn total, Tommy Sells is believed to have murdered 22 people.

Thomas Brose was a carnival worker that Sells shot and killed in his motorhome in 1998. Mary Perez was a 9-year-old girl Sells kidnapped in 1999 that he raped and murdered. Katy Harris was sexually assaulted then stabbed sixteen times and had her throat slashed. Sells died by lethal injection in Huntsville in 2014. YouTubeCharles Albright – Eyeball KillerCharles Albright was adopted from an orphanage by a very strict and overprotective teacher and her husband. He got his first gun when he was a teenager and began killing small animals that he and his mom would stuff because he wanted to be a taxidermist. He was very smart and graduated high school at 15. He enrolled at North Texas to become a surgeon. Albright stayed in and out of trouble with the law for theft, forging checks, falsifying a degree and sexually assaulting a 14 year old girl. Between December of 1990 and March of 1991, Albright was accused of murdering three women. All three were prostitutes and were shot and killed. The most gruesome part of their murders was that their eyes had been removed. Albright was only found guilty of one of the murders in December of 1991. Albright was sentenced to life without parole and died in 2020. YouTubeCarl Eugene Watts – The Sunday Morning SlasherCarl Watts was born in Killeen but committed most of his crimes in Michigan. It is believed that the number of his victims is close to 100. He contracted meningitis when he was 8 years old that almost killed him and may have lead to some brain damage. He would have violent dreams about fighting and killing the spirits of evil women. Watts would kidnap his victims, torture them followed by killing them. He was arrested in Texas after killing three women, two of whom were drowned in a bathtub. Watts was sentenced to 60 years in prison but through a loophole (at that time a bathtub wasn’t considered a dangerous weapon) Watts was released. He was arrested and tried for murders he committed in Michigan. He was sentenced to life in prison and died of prostate cancer in 2007. YouTubeWilliam Lester Suff – The Lake Elsinore KillerWilliam Suff was convicted of killing his two-month-old daughter in 1974 in Texas and sentenced to 70 years in prison. He only served 10 years.
