Author: redrumpodcast December 27, 2025 Duration: 37:52
Whilst I take a break for Christmas, I wanted to R&R (rewind and repeat) one of the most horrific cases I covered. Have a lovely Christmas - New Year period, and your next new episode will be in your feed one New Year's day! Imagine trusting the local candy store owner, only to discover he’s one of the most sadistic serial killers in history. Dean Corll, the man they called 'The Candy Man,' lured innocent teens into a nightmare beyond belief. What drove him to commit some of the most chilling murders in Texas history? You won’t believe how deep this darkness goes... Listener discretion is advised. Towards the end of this episode, I also reference the Ruthie Mae McCoy case: ⁠⁠https://chicagoreader.com/news-politics/they-came-in-through-the-bathroom-mirror/⁠⁠ SHOP MERCH: ⁠⁠redrumtruecrime.myshopify.com⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/redrumtruecrime/⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/redrumtruecrime/⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/redrumtruecrime⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠redrumtruecrimepodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠ If you're able, please support me on Patreon/buymeacoffee/YouTube membership to continue bringing REDRUM content to YouTube.

Behind every headline is a human story, often lost in the sensational details of the crime itself. REDRUM true crime shifts the focus back to where it belongs, exploring the lives and legacies of those most profoundly affected. Host and writer Grace Cordell guides listeners through a nuanced examination of cases that have left indelible marks, weaving historical context with personal narrative. This isn't just about the what or the who; it's a thoughtful, respectful exploration of the lasting impact on families, communities, and the fabric of society itself. Each episode of this podcast is a standalone deep dive, committed to honoring the truth with integrity and compassion. You'll hear stories told with a clarity that prioritizes dignity over drama, offering a more complete and human understanding of events that are too often simplified. Grace's presentation grounds the narrative in reality, emphasizing that these are not just tales from the past but real events with enduring consequences. Tune in for a series that treats its difficult subject matter with the depth and solemnity it demands, making REDRUM true crime a distinct voice in the genre.
