The Strange
I Survived a Serial Killer  The Strange


This survivor's name is Susan B. McLemore and And she is a very vocal victims rights' advocate in Houston, Tx.

Basically, my story is as follows:
Sometimes it's very difficult to talk about. I was 10yrs. old when I met the trio.  My father was a Houston police officer and joined a country club in the Heights area of Houston as many other police officers did. My brothers and I were swimming when Henley and Brooks came and invited my older brother to one of Corll's "parties". My father gave him permission to go, but told him he would have to take me and my other brother and promise to watch over us. When we arrived there were a lot of other kids and adults there sniffing paint, smoking pot and drinking beer. As the "party" unfolded I was forced to inhale the paint and was then sexually abused.
I continued to attend these "parties" for approximately 2 1/2yrs. until February 1972. At that time, my oldest brother, Rusty, went to one of these "parties" alone and never returned home.
I later identified his body on July 3, 1985. He had been in the local morgue for 12yrs. By this time my father had died (1980) and my other brother, Doug, had also died (1981). The glue and paint left me with a chronic and progressive lung disease among other things.
Henley and Brooks became eligible for parole in 1983 and I have been publicly opposing their release since that time. I am a very vocal victims rights' advocate in Houston, Tx. At the present time, Henley is eligible for parole and Brooks was denied parole once again for three years. His parole hearing was in Angleton one month ago. I hope to get Henley denied for three years again also.
I still reside in Houston with my husband of 19yrs. I have no children but, hope to start a family soon. Henley recently had an art show at the Hyde Park Art Gallery in Houston which I strongly opposed. However, he sold 23 paintings valued at a total of $8,000.00. The art gallery owner collected 40%, his mother collected 30% and another 30% was donated to a Montrose clinic. Please see the Houston Chronicle article in the Metropolitan section dated Feb.1, 1997. The event was also viewed nationally on CNN.
Susan's new website! created by me, UPDATE:  That site ( survive911 ) has been down for at least 26 years but there was a lot of women helped through that site and by Susan.
