ON FATHER'S DAY, June 20, 1965, Fred and Edwina Rogers of Houston received a surprise...they were murdered.
Father's Day, June 20, 1965, was a day of celebration for many residents of the Hyde Park Addition in Houston, Texas. An older neighborhood, dating back to the 1920's, it wasn't a likely location for Houston's most grisly double homicide. But on that date, two elderly residents of 1815 Driscoll Street, Fred C. Rogers (81), and his wife, Edwina H. Rogers (72), were murdered. Three nights later their mutilated, dissected bodies were found in the kitchen refrigerator of their home by two Houston police officers. Thirty-five years later no arrest has been made in the case.
