- Victims Cheryl Henry and Andy Atkinson were found in a car.

After 36 years, Houston police have arrested a suspect in the notorious 'Lovers' Lane' double murder case. Floyd William Parrott, 64, has been charged with capital murder in connection with the deaths of Cheryl Henry, 22, and Garland 'Andy' Atkinson, 21.
The victims were discovered in August 1990, their bodies found in a car parked in a cul-de-sac with neck injuries. The investigation, a collaborative effort involving multiple agencies, spanned decades without yielding an arrest.
Authorities identified Parrott as the suspect this month, leading to his arrest in Lincoln, Nebraska. He is currently awaiting extradition to Harris County, Texas, where he will face the charges. The District Attorney's office has hailed the arrest as a crucial step toward justice for the victims and their families.
