A medical examiner in Texas believes she has found another victim of a serial killer who terrorized Houston in the early 1970s. Sharon Derrick with the Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office said Wednesday that the body of Joseph Allen Lyles was identified through DNA analysis. It’s been more than 36 years since Lyles disappeared and 26 since his body was found buried on a beach. Derrick believes Lyles was the victim of serial killer Dean Corll.
