Almost a century after Thomas Inces mysterious death, we are no closer to knowing what really happened on William Randolph Hearst’s yacht that November night. The theories however run rampant. Some believe Hearst shot Ince either on accident when he meant to kill someone else. Who was that someone else? Charlie Chaplin. Rumors swirled that Chaplin and Hearst’s girlfriend Marion Davies were a little too close for comfort. What is clear is that whatever took place that night on Hearst’s yacht is not something he wanted the world to know. He hired reporter Louella Parsons to subsequently silence her. Headlines about the event were changed at his behest. Even a cornor’s inquest was not held and his remains were subsequently cremated, putting an end to our chances to find out what really killed Thomas Ince.

Dean Corll was the mastermind behind the Houston Heights Murders that left at least 28 boys dead. He enlisted the help of David Brooks, a teen whom he was abusing, and Elmer Wayne Henley. Brooks and Henley would lure teenage boys back to Corll’s place with the promise of alcohol and drugs. Or more simply a ride home. Most of their victims were treated like runaways, making Corll’s job a lot easier. Not many people were looking for these kids. But the night of August 8, 1973 would blow the lid right off this case. Moving it from just a dark secret between three people and into the public consciousness.
