This necklace was handmade by serial killer Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. Henley was the partner in crime to Dean Corll. Along with the handmade necklace is a letter of authenticity written by Henley that states “18” on tiger wire. Handmade polymer clay beads. Flower design with silver and topaz colored beads. Elmer Wayne Henley Jr.”
This was made decades ago when Henley still had access to art supplies. A privilege that would be taken from him after the Son of Sam law went into effect. He has not been able to create artwork or handmade items since, making this exceptionally rare.
COA included
Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. (born May 9, 1956) is an American convicted murderer known for his role as an accomplice in the Houston Mass Murders, one of the most horrific serial murder cases in U.S. history. Henley assisted serial killer Dean Corll in luring young boys and teenagers to their deaths between 1970 and 1973.
Henley ultimately killed Corll in 1973 and then confessed to his participation in the abductions, sexual assaults, and murders of at least 28 victims. He was convicted of six murders and sentenced to six consecutive life terms. Henley’s case has been examined for its psychological complexity, particularly the manipulation and moral conflict inherent in criminal complicity.
