Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Lovers Lane Murders: A Recap of the Crime

[03:04–05:39]

• In the summer of 1990, Cheryl Henry (22) and Andy Atkinson (21) go on a date in Houston. After partying with Cheryl’s sister, they park in a secluded area known as “Lover’s Lane.”
• The next morning, when they don’t show up for work, concern grows. A security guard discovers their car, Cheryl’s purse, and blood on the door—prompting a police search.
• The couple is found murdered: both bound, Andy tied to a tree with his throat slashed, Cheryl raped and murdered in similar manner.
  • Amy Robach: “This is horrible. Yeah, horrible stuff... for the people of Houston... you have a reason to be fearful, that somebody capable of that is among you.” ([05:39])

2. Living in Fear & the Painful Wait for Justice

[05:39–07:20]

• Discussion on how the community and the families coped with fear and uncertainty for years.

• The randomness and brutality of the crime made it feel particularly chilling—no clear motive, just vulnerable young people targeted in isolation.

• The killer, it turns out, had a violent history and was on parole at the time.

  • T.J. Holmes: “At some point you give up ...I'll never know who did this to my sister. I'll never know who did this to my brother, my son, my daughter. And that not knowing and feeling like someone just got away with it… just weighs on folks.” ([06:24–07:20])

3. The Break in the Case & Modern DNA

[07:20–10:45]

• Breakthrough tip and cold case detective work, combined with modern DNA analysis, finally point authorities to a suspect: Floyd William Parrott.
• Parrott, now 64, was living in Nebraska but had lived and worked near the crime scene until fairly recently.
• Critical factor: DNA from a 1996 sexual assault case involving Parrott hadn’t been properly entered into the database; once it was, it matched the DNA from the 1990 double murder.
  • Amy Robach: “So once all the DNA is in the system, lo and behold, the DNA from the Lovers Lane murders matches the DNA from 1996. And holy hell, here we just like that, a case is solved just with a couple of keystrokes on a computer.” ([10:14])

4. Hope for Other Families

[10:45–12:03]

• T.J. and Amy reflect on the hope this case provides to families awaiting answers in their own cold cases. Closure is possible, even after decades.

  • T.J. Holmes: “I hope that gives hope to so many families out there who are waiting for answers… This does give peace. This does give closure to these two families in particular. But I feel like it might give hope to so many other families out there.” ([10:45])

• Amy draws an analogy to publicizing lottery winners to show the process works: “You need a win …for folks who are waiting for people to come home… it gives you a reason to keep fighting and keep holding.” ([11:26])

5. The Henry Family’s Statement

[16:47–19:25]

• Hosts read and reflect on the official statement issued by Cheryl Henry's family.

  • Quote (T.J. Holmes) ([18:12]):

    “Today is a bittersweet day for our family. Cheryl and Andy were truly incredible people—kind, loving, and with so much life ahead of them. After nearly 36 years, we never imagined this day would come, and we are overwhelmed with emotion. We are deeply grateful to the Houston Police Department, the FBI, and the countless law enforcement professionals who never stopped working toward justice...We never gave up hope, and we thank God that a suspect is now in custody. We just wish our mother and Andy’s father would have lived to see this day...As we move forward in seeking justice for Cheryl and Andy, we kindly ask for privacy and continued prayers during this time.”

• The tragedy that both Cheryl’s mother and Andy’s father passed away in late 2024—just before the case’s resolution.

  • Amy Robach: “Understandable. We've covered a lot of even executions lately… all this stuff over the past 36 years, this family has to hear little updates, have little bits of hope… That can stop now. That's a big deal. And that's peace as well, I'm sure.” ([19:25])

6. The Lingering Questions

[20:37–20:56]

• Amy and T.J. ponder whether this was Parrott’s only crime or if other cases might be linked to him in light of this new evidence:

  • Amy Robach: “I wonder what else they're going to find out about this guy. It seems odd that you would just at one point in your life at 28, decide to go out and randomly kill two strangers in this, go about the rest of your life doing nothing else…”

• The hosts commit to update listeners as the legal process and investigations continue.

Notable Quotes & Emotional Moments

• Amy Robach (on the brutality): “To be quite honest, we watch a lot of horror movies and this thing kind of plays out where lovers are targeted and there are these horrific killings. ...This is horrible.” ([05:39])
• T.J. Holmes (on closure): “But to know that someone is held accountable matters. I mean, you know, like, feeling like at least, you know, you're not getting your loved ones back. But to have that justice is something.” ([18:12])
• T.J. Holmes (on the relief for the families): “You’re always on edge. You’re always waiting. There’s this level of anxiety that I’m imagining never goes away because you’re waiting for word.” ([20:11])
• Amy Robach (on hope): “You need to see that, oh, this is possible. And it did happen after 36 years. My case has only been six months. My case has only been three. It just. It matters, man. It gives you a reason to keep fighting and keep holding.” ([11:50])
• Amy Robach (on ongoing investigation): “I wonder how much of a threat they think he still was.” ([20:37])

Welcome to the Boys and Girls Podcast. Arranged marriage is basically a reality show and you're auditioning for your soulmate and who's judging? Only your entire family. I sacrificed myself to this ancient tradition hoping to find love the right way. And instead I found chaos, comedy and a lot of cringe. Listen to boys and Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Amy Robach]

Hey there folks. It is Friday, March 27, and an infamous cold case that has haunted the Houston area for 36 years has been solved. According to prosecutors, they have caught the so called Lovers Lane killer. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ and Robe. One of the things, and yes, we off the top, we'll mention it, you just said it about Savannah Guthrie's mom. This is a case that's been sitting there for 36 years and apparently Robe's one tip changed everything.

[T.J. Holmes]

Right? And that's what police have said time and time again about Savannah's mom, Nancy, that it's just one tip that they need that will lead them in the right direction. But when you have thousands of tips to go through, it takes time. And you don't know which one is

[Co-host or Guest on Amy and TJ]

that needle in a haystack.

[T.J. Holmes]

And this story highlights that, yes, even 36 years after the murders, justice can potentially finally be served. But my goodness, these families have had to wait for so long to get something, anything. And their reaction is pretty powerful.

[Amy Robach]

And this. We will take you back, folks. We're talking about the summer of 19, 1992. Young people. What are the ages again? 22 and 21.

[T.J. Holmes]

Yeah. 22 year old Cheryl Henry and 20 year old 21 year old Andy Atkinson. They had a big date night. They were out and partying with her sister, dancing at a nightclub and they went off to a place to most likely make out. Maybe they couldn't, they're young enough. They couldn't probably go back to their family's house. So they did what a lot of kids have done over the years. They parked in a secluded area and a cul de sac. It's so called Lover's Lane.

[Amy Robach]

It's terrible. You know, most of us growing up, there was some spot in your hometown, there was some spot in your college town like this. And usually they were a little scary, honestly, because they are secluded and people go out there late at night and you see another car parked, you assume maybe it's another couple there. You don't know. So to put you in that mindset of where they were and what they were thinking in the night that's being described, that's been described that they had is just horror.

[T.J. Holmes]

Horrific, horrific. So yes, they. They parked there and then what happened was they didn't return home and they didn't show up for work the next morning. And so family started calling 91 1, the search begins. A security guard sees this vehicle parked in a cul de sac and sees, I believe, Cheryl's purse and sees some blood on the door and thinks, uh, oh, and starts to call police. And shortly thereafter, their bodies were found. And the way they were found, babe, it is. It's like a scene out of a horror movie.

[Amy Robach]

It is. And to be quite honest, we watch a lot of horror movies and this thing kind of plays out where lovers are targeted and there are these horrific killings. And Rhodes, this is horrible stuff. They were both bound. He tied them both up, he walked them out into the woods. He tied him to a tree and slashed his throat. Slashed her throat as well, but only after he raped her. This is horrible. Yeah, horrible stuff. So, Robes, what we're describing now for the people of Houston, in the day that followed, in the weeks that followed, in the months that followed, and even in the years, Robes, you have a reason to be fearful, that somebody capable of that is among you.

[T.J. Holmes]

And that was true. That was true.

[Co-host or Guest on Amy and TJ]

And that's the scary part.

[T.J. Holmes]

This was one of those crimes where it's unexplained. You don't have a reason. This just a young couple enjoying a night on their own. So this was perhaps targeted and that they were just easy pickings because there was no one around. And that seclusion gave him the opportunity. But yeah, to think this man was on the loose for 30 plus years and he has some history of other violent offenses. In fact, he was out on parole when police say he committed this horrific crime. So this is just something that meant so much for the family to hear word they talk about being shocked because think about this. At some point you give up. At some point you think, I'll never know who did this to my sister. I'll never know who did this to my brother, my son, my daughter. And that not knowing and feeling like someone just got away with it. And who knows, they're probably thinking he could have been doing this to other people, to other couples. Just all of that uncertainty just weighs on folks.

[Amy Robach]

That 36 year wait ended this week. In fact, he was in court yesterday. And Robes, yes, the folks in the Houston area, Texas, they remember this and were impacted by this. But the guy they caught after 36 years, they did not pick him up in Texas.

[T.J. Holmes]

No, they did not. He was all the way in Lincoln, Nebraska. His name is 64 year old Floyd William Parrott. He's been arrested, he's been charged with murder. He was 28 at the time of the murders. I was just trying to do the math there. But that's, that's remarkable. 36 years ago he was 28 years old. And yes, this break in the case from a tip combined with renewed DNA analysis because they had all this DNA back in 1990 from the vehicle. They had blood, they had the ropes, they had a lot of evidence that they found. They just didn't know who to be able to tie it to. It all came together with that tip. And they got a hit in the database when they got that DNA.

[Amy Robach]

And that's interesting because yes, naturally the question is how were they able to do this now after all this time? That is interesting. And what we've seen, I mean there are shows called Cold Case File. There are shows that are focused on cold cases. We've seen these things happen. This is absolutely fascinating. There are so many police departments that have detectives dedicated to cold cases. So you have in this instance, detective dedicated to this case, checking it out. He reviews a tip, he comes across a tip robes that apparently had been sitting around for a while. He saw this last year in going through stuff. But we don't. They didn't tell us a lot of information actually. Not a lot of details. But he takes this tip and here's where we are. But yes, the DNA part of it, but that's the interesting part. Robed about so many tips. One of them is the right one. Ooh.

[T.J. Holmes]

And you have to be able to connect the dots. And then yes, if you've got the DNA and you can then basically that's your smoking gun. Now you can say, oh my goodness, I can put this man at the scene of the crime, period with his DNA. And turns out all this time I think he had just recently moved to Lincoln, Nebraska is what they believe. But I think in 2020, up until 2020, he had owned property near the murder scene, but he worked just over a mile away from where they found the bodies of that young couple. So he was there in the area for all that time. And again they were able to find him in Lincoln, Nebraska. He is there and awaiting extradition as we record this.

[Amy Robach]

So as they piece this together, folks, and don't know how this all exactly works, but my understanding is that that detective who found the one tip, he realizes that parrot somewhere in his investigation, the tip, I guess directed him towards this guy. But Parrot was accused of another sexual assault somewhere in 1996.

[T.J. Holmes]

Yep.

[Amy Robach]

Do I have this right?

[T.J. Holmes]

Yes.

[Amy Robach]

Okay, so there's DNA from that case that had not been properly entered into this coda's database after all this time. So it wasn't there to be compared. So once all the DNA is in the system, lo and behold, the DNA from the lovers lane murders matches the DNA from 1996. And holy hell, here we just like that, a case is solved just with a couple of keystrokes on a computer.

[T.J. Holmes]

And I hope that gives hope to so many families out there who are waiting for answers, who are afraid they'll never know what happened or who was responsible for their loved one's death or just even them being missing. So for all the people who are waiting for answers and how excruciating that is, and we've just seen a play out with Savannah. Her talking about just the pain, waking up in the middle of the night, just the not knowing. This does give peace. This does give closure to these two families in particular. But I feel like it might give hope to so many other families out there thinking maybe one day, maybe not tomorrow, but maybe a year from now, maybe 10 years from now, we'll figure this out.

[Amy Robach]

You need a win. This is a weird comparison, but it's the first thing that came to my mind. Why some places, some states require that lottery winners have to be publicly identified because people need to have confidence in the system and know and see that, yes, that person won or somebody out there is like me. You need a win. I mean, for folks who are waiting for people to come home.

[T.J. Holmes]

Yeah, that's true.

[Amy Robach]

You need to see that, oh, this is possible. And it did happen after 36 years. My case has only been six months. My case has only been three. It just. It matters, man. It gives you a reason to keep fighting and keep holding.

[T.J. Holmes]

And that is everything when you're waiting for answers that you are afraid you might not ever get. So when we come back, we are going to read to you the family statement from the victims. It is powerful, and it just speaks to what so many people live with each and every day with violent crime and hoping and praying that one day they too will have their case solved. We'll hear directly from the Henry family when we come back.

I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations and the real work with the women shaping culture right now.

[Working with Cancer Pledge Promoter]

As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are and your integrity. You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja.

[Bailee Taylor]

Each week I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye. Because Being a knit girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it. I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day just so they know what's really going on. I feel like pulling the curtain back is important. Important. Listen to it girl with Bailee Taylor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[T.J. Holmes]

Welcome back everyone to this episode of Amy and TJ where police say they have finally nabbed the Lovers lane killer after 36 years on the run. This is an incredible story, a cold case that haunted the Houston area for more than three decades and certainly haunted the family members of the two young victims in this case, 22 year old Cheryl Henry and her boyfriend, 21 year old Andy Atkinson. It was. It was bittersweet. And we'll get into the exact statement because it's so sad to know that just a year and a half ago, late 2024, Cheryl's mom and Andy's dad passed away without knowing, without seeing this day, without feeling like justice might be served. And the family talks about that because you think about it, their parents just died within the last two years and they had waited more than three decades and probably had thought, I'm never gonna know. I'm never going to know what happened. But it just speaks to why it's people to have that time go by and to just be waiting for answers.

[Amy Robach]

It's unthinkable, we always say, right? It's the not knowing. It's one thing to not know somebody's fate, but even when you know your loved one might have been killed, you still. What's the next thing you do? Want to know? Why?

[T.J. Holmes]

Yes.

[Amy Robach]

You're just desperate for answers. And so at least this is one step in at the why you might never get. And the why there might not be

[T.J. Holmes]

a good reason, but to know that someone is held accountable matters. I mean, you know, like, feeling like at least, you know, you're not getting your loved ones back. But to have that justice is something. Um, we've got the Henry family statement that they released shortly after news of the arrest. Today is a bittersweet day for our family. Cheryl and Andy were truly incredible people. Kind, loving, and with so much life ahead of them after nearly 36 years, we never imagined this day would come, and we are overwhelmed with emotion. We are deeply grateful to the Houston Police Department, the FBI, and the countless law enforcement professionals who never stopped working toward justice. We also want to thank our family and friends who have continued to pray, support us, and stand beside us through every year and every breakthrough. We never gave up hope, and we thank God that a suspect is now in custody. We just wish our mother and Andy's father would have lived to see this day. Cheryl's mother, Barbara Craig, and Andy's father, Garland Atkinson, both passed away in 2024. As we move forward in seeking justice for Cheryl and Andy, we kindly ask for privacy and continued prayers during this time.

[Amy Robach]

Well done. Well said. Understandable. We've covered a lot of even executions lately. And I think about that when the execution is done, the victim's family oftentimes like, this is over. No more appeals. And all this stuff over the past 36 years, this family has to hear little updates, have little bits of hope. There was at one point, there was a pretty significant breakthrough in this case. They having to keep hearing little drips and drabs and thinking, maybe this is the one and maybe this, that can stop now. That's a big deal. And that's. That's peace as well, I'm sure. And I wonder over the past 36 years, every time you get a phone call where it's an unidentified phone number, you're like, is this police department? Is this the one? Is this the tip? Is this. That's.

[T.J. Holmes]

That gives me chills to think about. I mean, this is a big. It actually makes me emotional because you can put yourself in that position and it's. It's one thing to suffer, obviously, the loss of of life, the loss of a loved one. But to sit on edge, you're always on edge. You're always waiting. There's this level of anxiety that I'm imagining never goes away because you're waiting for word. You're waiting to hear something. And now I feel like their shoulders can just relax a little bit.

[Amy Robach]

I wonder what else they're going to find out about this guy. It seems odd that you would just at one point in your life at 28, decide to go out and randomly kill two strangers in this, go about the rest of your life doing nothing else. That's just I wonder what else there is. I wonder how much of a threat they think he still was.

[T.J. Holmes]

And I would imagine that, yes, we're going to be hearing a lot more about this man in the days to come as there will be obviously more intensive investigations about what this man was doing for the past 36 years and how he had been able to literally get away with murder up until now. So, of course, we will continue to follow this case for you. But a big, huge breakthrough for Houston, for that area, for so many folks who had been on edge for all this time. The Lovers Lane Killer. Police say they got their guy. And with that, everyone, thank you so much for listening to us. I'm Amy Robach alongside T.J. holmes. We will talk to you soon.

[Chelsea Handler]

This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea, after the Big Game. Like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials and there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate. And it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who is Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself, but the impact is still huge. If you saw the blue square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the blue square is one small way to do that.
