播音员：1990年8月22日，Cheryl Henry和Andy Atkinson在休斯顿一个名为"情人巷"的树林中被发现遇害。Cheryl的尸体被发现藏在栅栏下，喉咙被割伤，并有性侵证据。Andy的尸体被发现绑在一棵树上，喉咙被割伤严重，几乎被斩首。案发现场没有明显的抢劫迹象，凶手动机不明。警方收集了DNA证据，但最初的DNA比对没有结果。2001年，警方收到一封勒索信，但未获得任何线索。2008年，警方发现一起发生在凶案前两个月的性侵案的DNA与凶案现场的DNA匹配，这表明同一凶手犯下了两起罪行。性侵案受害者描述了袭击者，为警方提供了有价值的信息，包括袭击者可能与夜总会行业有关。警方还调查了其他可能与本案相关的失踪案件，但均未取得突破。目前，警方仍然在努力寻找凶手，并呼吁公众提供线索。本案的关键线索是与性侵案匹配的DNA证据，警方可以通过亲缘关系DNA比对技术来寻找凶手。凶手掩盖Cheryl的尸体可能暗示凶手与受害者之间存在个人关系。警方认为凶手可能与夜总会行业有关。通过亲缘关系DNA比对技术是破案的最佳机会。

Shownotes Transcript

#090 - On August 22, 1990, Cheryl Henry and Andy Atkinson drove to “Lovers Lane” in a wooded area of Houston. They were never seen alive again.

Cheryl’s body was found underneath a fence not too far from Andy’s abandoned car. She’d been sexually assaulted and murdered. Andy’s body was discovered tied to a nearby tree. His throat had been slashed so deeply that his head was nearly decapitated. 

Houston police obtained DNA evidence from the killer. But after decades of searching, no suspects have emerged.
