Texas True Crime: Deal with the Devil

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

It was 4:06 a.m. on Saturday, February 8, 2014. The beaten body of a girl was found in a vacant apartment in Clear Lake, Texas.

“It looks like there’s a toilet lid, you know, on the back of the tank?” the caller said. “It’s broken all over the place. I think that’s what they used to kill her.”

It was dark and damp in the empty apartment with no electricity, but pieces of the white porcelain toilet tank lid were broken and scattered everywhere.

Authorities later identified the victim as Corriann Cervantes, 15. She had been killed four days earlier by two teenagers she trusted.

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

In our latest episode of Texas True Crime, you’ll hear exclusive, never-before-seen 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 speaks out.

“Deal with the Devil” is now airing on ABC 13.
