Cheryl Henry & Andy Atkinson: The Houston Lover’s Lane Murders Part 2

After the bodies of 22-year-old Cheryl Henry and 21-year-old Andy Atkinson were found, on August 23rd and 24th 1990 respectively, Houston Homicide Detective Billy Belk was called to the scene to begin the investigation into their murders. Alongside other homicide detectives, Belk scoured the city for leads – first questioning and taking blood samples from all Andy and Cheryl’s known friends and patrons of the bars they frequented. Nothing turned up, even after examining robberies and sexual assaults that, like these Lover’s Lane Murders, took place in West Houston. Though the initial investigation was painstaking and thorough, it brought with it nothing but dead ends.
