Does anyone know the best way to get in contact with Mack?

FYI, the site appears to be down again.   Look forward to checking it out in the future!

Ronald Clark O'Bryan (October 19, 1944 – March 31, 1984), nicknamed The Candy Man and The Man Who Killed Halloween, was an American former optician fromDeer Park, Texas convicted of killing his eight-year-old son Timothy on Halloween 1974 with potassium cyanide-laced Pixy Stix in order to claim life insurance money. He also distributed poisoned candy to his daughter and three other children in an attempt to cover up his crime; however neither his daughter nor the other children ate the poisoned candy.   (

Just read an interesting story in the Chron today about Ronald Clark O'Bryan  (link).   I consider myself pretty well-schooled in Houston's macabre history and had not heard of him before.  I thought Dean Corrl was Houston's only notorious "Candyman" killer in the 1970's, but I guess not.

Anyway, I have been working on a map project of sorts for the last year, in which I've been pinpointing the precise locations of various historical events, offbeat attractions, and sites in Houston.    I'm trying to find Clark's old address (the house where the poisoning presumably occurred) so I can include it on my map, but have been unsuccessful thus far.

Does anyone remember where this happened?  Even just a street name would help.
