release
From 1970 through 1973, Elmer Wayne Henley helped lured 28 teenage boys to a Pasadena home belonging to Dean Corll, also known as The Candy Man. He's serving 6 life sentences, but is being considered for compassionate release.
"It was the largest serial killing in the country's history up until John Wayne Gacey appeared," said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers.
Parole officials can't be specific about Henley's current state. But according to the guidelines of compassionate release, he's terminally ill or requires long-term care.

He should die in prison. He's dying, so what difference does it make where?
