Thursday, March 26, 2026 2:13PMAfter 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. It was also profiled in ABC13's True Crime series in November 2025, with interviews from the victims' family members."Initially I thought, 'OK, three to six months,'" Andy's cousin, Tim Godwin, told Eyewitness News in 2025. "We'd find out who did this, there'd be a trial, and they'd be brought to justice." But months turned into years. One year became five. Then 10. Even after 15 years, there were still no arrests, no suspects - only grief and unanswered questions. For decades, the families continued speaking out and held on to hope that one day someone would come forward. "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."No further details were released, but Teare's office said law enforcement is working to coordinate a joint presser to address any questions.
