Houston police, with FBI help, arrested Floyd William Parrott in Lincoln, Nebraska on suspicion of the 1990 "Lovers’ Lane" double murder after DNA from a 1996 sexual-assault file uploaded to CODIS matched DNA from victim Cheryl Henry’s autopsy rape kit (and to another unsolved assault). The arrest — prompted in part by a late-2025 tip that led investigators to re-examine the 1996 file — is being described by detectives, officials and family members as the culmination of decades of work and ties to broader efforts to address backlogs of untested rape kits.
