It’s the urban legend every parent has whispered at least once: “Check your candy, you never know what could be inside.” But in 1974, that warning wasn’t just a myth. In Pasadena, Texas, eight-year-old Timothy O’Bryan was poisoned by a Pixy Stix laced with cyanide, handed to him by his own father.
This is the horrifying true story of Ronald O’Bryan, the man the media dubbed The Candyman Killer. He wasn’t a stranger lurking in the shadows or a neighbour with bad intentions. He was a dad in financial ruin who saw his son’s life as a quick payday.
