HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — After nearly 36 years, an arrest has been made in the cold case killings of Cheryl Henry and Andy Atkinson.
On Thursday, Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare’s office announced 64-year-old Floyd Wiliam Parrott has been charged with murder in connection with the 1990 murders.
The case dubbed “Lover’s Lane Murders” went unsolved for almost 36 years – until now.
“One of Houston’s most haunting and infamous cold cases has weighed on the Henry and Atkinson families, as well as our community, for more than three decades,” Teare said. “Our prosecutors, working with the HPD and FBI, have pursued this investigation with relentless and dogged determination. They have worked hundreds of leads, facing dead ends and plenty of frustration. But, they never gave up on Cheryl and Andy.”
Teare said Houston police and the FBI arrested Parrott in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Wednesday.
No further details were released, but Teare’s office said law enforcement is working to coordinate a joint presser to address any questions.
