A sheet of plastic was placed under the plywood torture board to catch the excreta, blood and vomit that would invariably be discharged during the abuse, and the radio would be cranked up full blast to drown out the victim\u2019s screams. Occasionally he&#8217;d castrate his victims, often their severed genitals would be buried next to the bodies in small plastic bags. At least one boy&#8217;s corpse was found with his penis gnawed nearly in two. He was shot and killed by a teenage accomplice, who he had paid $200 per head to procure victims, in 1973.<\/p>\n<p>Culled from: <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Torture_murder\">Wikipedia<\/a><br \/>\nGenerously submitted by: Pamazon<\/p>\n<p>How have I never heard of this monster, Dean Corll, before?
