In the summer of 1990, the bodies of Cheryl Henry, 22, and her boyfriend, Garland "Andy" Atkinson, 21, were found in an undeveloped, wooded area of western Harris County (Houston, TX.) where young people often went to park and kiss. Both had been tied up with rope and their throats slashed. Henry had been raped.
