Tragically, Randell Harvey was one of the victims of Houston’s serial killer and sex offender Dean Corll who abducted, raped, tortured, and murdered a minimum of twenty-eight teenage boys and young men between 1970 and 1973 in Houston and Pasadena, Texas. He was aided by two teenaged accomplices. Their crimes became known as the Houston Mass Murders, and he was known as the “The Candy Man.”
On March 09, 1971, 15-year-old Randell Harvey, was last seen by his family on that afternoon cycling towards Oak Forest, where he worked part-time as a gas station attendant. Harvey was driven to Corll’s Mangum Road apartment, where he was subsequently killed by a single gunshot to the head.
On October 17, 2008, ML73-3349 was identified as Randell Lee Harvey, a Heights teenager who had been reported missing on March 11, 1971 – two days after he had disappeared. Harvey, who had been shot through the eye, was wearing a navy-blue jacket with red lining, jeans and lace-up boots. A plastic orange pocket comb was also found alongside his body.
