Texas True Crime: Deal with the Devil

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — “She’s as cold as ice,” said the caller to the 911 dispatcher. “I think she’s deceased.”

It was 4:06 a.m. on Saturday, February 9, 2014. A girl’s beaten body was found in a vacant apartment in Clear Lake, Texas.

“It looks like there’s a toilet bowl lid thing-you know from the back of the tank?” said the caller. “It’s smashed up all over the place. I think that might be what they used to kill her.”

It was dark and dank in that empty apartment with no power, but pieces of that white porcelain toilet tank lid were shattered and strewn about.

Authorities would later identify the murdered girl as 15-year-old Corriann Cervantes. She had been killed four days earlier, by two teens she trusted.

Now, ten years after her brutal murder, Corriann’s family is telling their story.

In our latest Texas True Crime episode, you’ll hear never released, exclusive interviews with the people who helped send Corriann’s killers to prison. You’ll see how police got a 16-year-old to confess to murder. And, for the first time, a convicted killer talks.
