Suspect Arrested in 1990 Lover's Lane Murders

0:00After nearly 36 years, Houston police have arrested a suspect in the 1990 murders of a young couple known as the Lovers Lane case. 64-year-old Floyd William Parrott faces capital murder charges for killing 22-year-old Cheryl Henry and 21-year-old Andy. Atkinson, the victims were last seen at a nightclub on Westheimer Road, the night of August 22, 1990. The next day, a security guard found their bodies in a wooded area near Enclave Parkway, sparking a decades-long investigation. This cold case haunted the victim's families and the Houston community for over three decades, with investigators chasing hundreds of leads through. Dead ends and setbacks. Earlier this week, officers from the Houston Police Department and the FBI napped Parrott in Lincoln, Nebraska. Harris County District Attorney, Sean Tyair, praised the team's relentless work that finally brought progress. For the first time in years, the Henry and Atkinson families have real hope as the case moves forward in court.
