James Dreymala was 13 when he was killed on August 5, 1973, in Pasadena, Texas. He was the final known victim of Dean Corll, who, with teenage accomplices Elmer Wayne Henley and David Owen Brooks, carried out the Houston Mass Murders that targeted boys between 1970 and 1973.

His bicycle was found near where his body was later recovered; James was buried in a Houston boat shed alongside other victims. The discovery of his body helped trigger the larger unearthing of the crimes after Henley fatally shot Corll on August 8, 1973.

Henley and Brooks were later convicted and received life sentences for their roles. Does anyone have memories or information about James’s life, routine, or the neighborhood around Pasadena in 1973 that could add context to his case?
