Link is now working. We had to take it down until the Chronicle ran their article today.

Here is the link to the Houston Chronicle that ran today on the Front Page of the paper.

Cheryl was my stepsister. She and her boyfriend were brutally killed in 1990. Cheryl was also raped. There has been a DNA match in the CODIS system. The semen from her rapist matched the semen taken from another of his rape victims. The other victim lived and was able to help with a sketch of this monster. Houston Chronicle ran an article today and there will be a press conference tomorrow that should run on Houston stations.

Please read the story and look at the sketch. In addition our family has set up a website with all past articles.

WONDERFUL NEWS... SO HAPPY FOR YOUR FAMILY & OTHER VICTIMS !!!!

Do you know yet if he was recently caught or has been in jail for a time? I have a dozen questions..... cannot wait for press conference.

 

[noZme]

Dang it... i took your saying "match" to mean the perp.

this is still very good news & perhaps tomorrow the investigators will release an age-progressed sketch which will help identify this scumball soon.

 

[Taximom]

((mocity)) I hope this helps solve your sister's (and bf) case. I'm so glad they started using DNA like this.

 

[mocity]

Thanks to all. We actualyl had the press conference today at 3pm and all the major news stations were there. In Houston it should be on all major news tonight at 5, 6 and 10! It sounded more promising than we have had in 18 years!

Mo, I am so very sorry for the pain your family is enduring. Definately, I'll e-mail the links to everybody I know. Again, I am so sorry and your beautiful sister will be in my prayers and I'll pray they find the creep.

Good Lord that sketch is a dead ringer for Christian Contemporary musician Warren Barfield.Seriously.
Of course the perp is older now.

 

[SewingDeb]

I hope you get some answers real soon! I bet we have some on this forum who can do an age progressed picture from that sketch to give us an idea of what he looks like now. It would be great to get that out nationwide.

If I am remembering correctly; isn't that the one that happened off of Eldridge Pkwy.?

That's amazing, kline. The likeness is spooky. I know his dad was a preacher and they are from NC or SC, IIRC.

Yes actually the street is Enclave Parkway but Eldrige is right there.

Yes, that's right. I knew it was an E. Man, there was nothing out there when that happened. Now it's grown so much.

I hope they get that sick S.O.B.

Im so glad the dna was matched, I hope they find him soon for justice for Cheryl and Andy.
