AMERICA'S MOST WANTED TO FEATURE CITIZENS AGAINST HOMICIDE COLD CASE
Cheryl Henry (age 22) and her boyfriend, Andy Atkinson (age 21) were brutally murdered on August 23, 1990. Their bodies were found in an undeveloped, wooded area of western Harris County in Houston, Texas. Both victims had been tied with a rope and their throats slashed. Cheryl had also been raped.
Seventeen years later, DNA evidence found at the crime scene had been matched to DNA collected in the unsolved 1990 rape of a 30 year-old woman also in the Houston area. Investigators were then able to release a composite sketch of the suspect after talking with the rape victim.
CAH Victim Advocate, Gene Cervantes, contacted America's Most Wanted and relayed to them case factors of the Henry/Atkinson murder case. We are most pleased to announce, AMW has accepted the case and is currently preparing for a Saturday December 11, 2010 episode airing date.
