Cheryl Henry & Andy Atkinson: The Houston Lover’s Lane Murders Part 1

When 22-year-old Cheryl Henry and 21-year-old Andy Atkinson met in August of 1990, it was almost as if fate made it so. Both of them had just moved back to Houston, Texas earlier that summer. And both seemingly fell hard for the other the moment they were introduced. But fate turned cruel when only weeks later something terrible, something beyond reason and comprehension happened to the couple cutting not only their romance short, but also their lives. The senseless and brutal act against Cheryl and Andy remains one of Texas’s most infamous and mysterious murder cases and is among many other unsolved Lover’s Lane slayings.If you have any information about the Lover’s Lane murders of Cheryl Henry and Andy Atkinson, please contact Houston area crime stoppers at 713-222-8477.Special thanks to Erica from Southern Fried True Crime for lending us her inimitable voice this episode.
