‘Lovers’ Lane Murders’ Suspect Dies in Jail Weeks After Arrest

The suspect in a gruesome double murder that went unsolved for decades died in jail just weeks after he was arrested. Floyd William Parrott, 64, was arrested in Lincoln, Nebraska, on March 25 by officers with the Houston Police Department and the FBI, according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. He was charged with capital murder in connection with the killings of 21-year-old Andy Atkinson and 22-year-old Cheryl Henry, who were found dead inside a car parked in a cul-de-sac with injuries to their necks on Aug. 23, 1990, authorities said. The cold case, known as the “Lovers’ Lane Murders,” went unsolved for nearly 36 years. Parrott was found unresponsive in his Nebraska jail cell on Tuesday before his extradition to Texas to face trial, according to the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners. “We ache for Andy’s and Cheryl’s families who were denied their day in court. Our anger for what Parrott took from them is matched only by our determination to keep going,” the DA’s office said in a statement. “His survivors deserve accountability.”

A Russian-flagged superyacht passed through the Strait of Hormuz unscathed as the key passage remains closed for commercial ships. The $500 million superyacht is owned by Russia’s richest man, Alexei Mordashov, an ally of Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin. The 465-foot multi-deck boat known as Nord left a port in Dubai on Friday and passed through the Strait the following day. It is currently docked in Oman. The Strait has been closed for weeks as a result of Trump’s war with Iran, but Reuters reported that neither Iran nor the U.S. interfered with the Russian vessel. “Iran ​did not interfere with the movement of the yacht, as it is a civilian vessel of a friendly country conducting a peaceful transit. The American side also ​raised no questions regarding the yacht’s movement, as it did not ​call at Iranian ports and has no connection to Iran,” a source told the outlet. Reuters noted it remains unclear how the superyacht gained permission to travel through the closed waterway. Russia is a longtime ally of Iran and has reportedly been providing intelligence to Iran on U.S. military targets.

When it comes to “anti-aging” skincare, retinoids (vitamin A derivatives like retinol and retinyl palmitate) and antioxidants such as vitamin C and niacinamide have long reigned as the gold standard, backed by decades of clinical research. But for concerns like laxity and sagging, growth factors are quickly emerging as the next frontier in firming and “lifting” skincare.

Of course, no topical can rival in-office treatments like radiofrequency, dermal fillers, and lasers (or surgical options like a facelift), but consider growth factors your next best line of defense. Enter PCA Skin’s Pro-Max Age Renewal Serum, a clinically backed formula designed to target loss of firmness (including jowling) and volume in as little as one week. In addition to softening fine lines, the serum helps reinforce the skin barrier and deliver lasting hydration.

According to the brand, the concentrated serum can lift sagging skin by up to 60 percent while reducing the appearance of coarse lines and wrinkles by up to 40 percent. One of the best parts of the serum is that it doesn’t cause irritation, dryness, or barrier disruption, often associated with other common anti-aging actives like retinoids, antioxidants, and exfoliants.

PCA Skin credits its patent-pending Micro Growth Factor Technology (MGF) for the serum’s impressive, fast-acting results. MGF is formulated to penetrate up to 10 times deeper than traditional growth factors, which tend to sit on the skin’s surface and therefore, don’t work their magic to the full potential. PCA Skin’s proprietary complex, on the other hand, works within the dermis to support collagen production and fibroblast activity. The formula is also bolstered by firming biopolymers and kangaroo paw extract, which helps smooth the look of lines—and fast. PCA Skin’s Pro-Max Age Renewal Serum is a high-tech shortcut to firmer, smoother, more resilient skin sans the downtime.

The Stranger Things saga isn’t over just yet. The hit show’s animated spinoff, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, has been renewed for a second season by Netflix. The announcement dropped just days after the series premiered last week. “In the winter of 1985, snow blankets the town and the horrors of the Upside Down are finally fading,” the official logline reads. “Our heroes Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max have settled back into a normal life of D&D, snowball fights, and quiet days. But beneath the ice, something terrifying has awakened. Could it be from the Upside Down? From the depths of Hawkins Lab? Or from somewhere else entirely? Our heroes must race to solve this mystery and save Hawkins in this new story set in the Stranger Things universe.” The voice cast includes Brooklyn Davey Norstedt, Luca Diaz, Braxton Quinney, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Elisha Williams, Ben Plessala, Brett Gipson, Jeremy Jordan, and Alessandra Antonelli. Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 debuted at the top seven spot last week on Netflix’s weekly top 10 English-language TV chart.

NFL defensive end Josh Mauro has died of an undisclosed cause at 35. “With many tears and broken hearts, yet anchored in the unshakable certainty that our precious Josh Mauro is now healed and made new - living in the presence of the Lord - we humbly covet your prayers as our family walks through the devastating loss,” Mauro’s family said in a statement following his death Thursday. The defensive end was born in Britain before moving to Texas when he was three. He began his football career in high school and continued playing at Stanford University. He joined the Pittsburgh Steelers after college as a free agent after going undrafted in the 2014 NFL draft. After being released during final roster cuts, Mauro signed with the Arizona Cardinals, where he stayed for four seasons. He later played for the New York Giants, Oakland Raiders, and Jacksonville Jaguars. He returned to the Cardinals in 2021 for his final season of pro football.

Drivers in Outagamie County are being told to slow down—with a number that’s hard to ignore. The county’s recycling and solid waste commission in Appleton, Wisconsin, unveiled a new road sign setting the speed limit at a bizarrely precise 17.3 mph, according to the department’s Facebook post. Officials say the hyper-specific number is designed to snap drivers out of autopilot. “Why 17.3? Because it makes you pause. It makes you look twice,” the county wrote, adding that the goal is to force drivers to pay attention on a road heavily used by haulers, contractors, and residents. “Staying alert is key to keeping everyone safe,” the post continued, pitching the sign as a nudge to “slow down, stay aware, and look out for one another.” The quirky tactic comes as traditional methods fall flat. A 2024 study by Minnesota state and local transportation agencies found that simply lowering speed limits does little to curb speeding—prompting officials to try more creative ways to grab drivers’ attention.

The widow of two victims of the OceanGate Titan submersible implosion is revealing the grim reality of what came after. Christine Dawood told The Guardian she waited nine months to receive the remains of her husband, Shahzada Dawood, 48, and their 19-year-old son, Suleman Dawood. “When I say bodies, I mean the slush that was left,” she said. “They came in two small boxes, like shoeboxes.” The U.S. Coast Guard recovered what it could after the Titan submersible imploded in June 2023 during a dive to the Titanic wreck. Dawood said officials warned “there wasn’t much they could find,” with some remains too mixed to separate by DNA—prompting her to accept only what could be definitively identified as her husband and son. After learning the implosion likely killed all five passengers instantly, she said her first reaction was relief. “Thank God… Knowing they didn’t suffer has been so important.” Nearly three years after the tragedy, Dawood said she still struggles with panic attacks and has left her son’s bedroom and husbands study untouched. Looking forward, Dawood says she plans to open a grief and trauma center in their memory.

Shannon Elizabeth, the actress who appeared in the popular American Pie film franchise, reportedly made more than $1 million on OnlyFans in just a week. Elizabeth, 52, said joining the platform—which is most often used to share adult content behind a paywall—is about reclaiming ownership of her brand. “I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans‚” she said, adding that she joined OnlyFans because it allows her to connect with her followers and “just be free.” A source familiar with the matter told Page Six that Elizabeth had made more than half of her money on the content-sharing space from direct messages to OnlyFans users. A source also says the actress will put some of her profits towards her charity, the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, which supports animal welfare and conservation efforts. In addition to the American Pie movies, Elizabeth also appeared in the 2000 hit Scary Movie as well as a host of other films and TV shows. Earlier this month, she quietly filed for divorce from her husband, Simon Borchert, after five years of marriage.

Controversial pop star Chris Brown, 37, has welcomed his fourth child, his first with influencer Jada Wallace. Wallace, 26, posted black and white photos of her baby bump along with an image of their newborn in a Sunday Instagram post captioned “Purest love💛.” “CONGRATULATIONS!!! HES JUST PERFECT! SENDING LOVE ALWAYS!!” Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins, commented below the announcement, revealing that the newest addition to the family is a boy. Brown commented, “❤️ Taurus ♉️ GANG❤️,” hinting that his son was born after April 20. Chris Brown has three other children with previous partners: an 11-year-old daughter with Nia Guzman, a six-year-old son with Ammika Harris, and a four-year-old daughter with Diamond Brown. “It’s actually great. It’s very humbling. It’s very calming. I think I was a lot rambunctious, very hyper as a kid,” the hot-headed singer has previously said about being a father in an interview with Ryan Seacrest.

A good pair of work boots is invaluable. However, most feel like they were designed by people who’ve never spent eight hours on a job site. Red Wing Shoes is aiming to change that with its new IronFlex boot line, built from the ground up based on the data of three million workers.

The new line wasn’t designed by a committee. Red Wing took a more proactive approach. First, it leveraged state-of-the-art scanning technology to study exactly how workers walked and where pressure points built up.

All styles are ASTM-rated and available with slip resistance and electrical hazard protection.

Next, Red Wing spoke to the workers themselves, asking how they prefer their boots to fit and feel. The result was a premium work boot with every feature informed by the people who wear them the most.

In fact, the worker-first philosophy shows up in every detail of the boots. The slip-resistant outsole keeps your feet sure-footed on ladders. A high-rebound EVA midsole delivers all-day comfort. The boot’s welted heel provides extra stability on uneven terrain. The roomy cemented forefoot is constructed to bend and flex with you. On rainy days, the IronFlex’s three layers of a moisture-deterrent lining, cushioning foam, and waterproof barrier keep feet dry.

Channing Tatum posted a series of cryptic messages following reports of his ex, Zoe Kravitz’s, engagement to pop star Harry Styles. The Magic Mike star, who was engaged to Kravitz for a year before their split in 2024, shared a poem by John Roedel on his Instagram story about a past relationship while the song “Faith’s Hymn” played in the background. “My brain and / heart divorced / a decade ago / over who was / to blame about / how big of a mess / I have become,” the poem read. On Tuesday, his story posts continued with a repost of a video featuring a bruised female fighter who said, “Didn’t go the way I wanted. I enjoyed the whole process… I’m still happy that I went all five rounds. I’m feeling amazing. Just so happy to be here.” Styles and Kravitz are engaged after eight months of dating, according to reports by Page Six. Kravitz was previously engaged to Tatum and was married to actor Karl Glusman prior to their divorce in 2020. Tatum was married to Jenna Dewan for nine years before his relationship with Kravitz.

The most magical place on Earth has begun rolling out facial recognition technology at its park entrances. Disneyland will now use biometric screening to verify tickets and reduce fraud. Under the system, guests’ faces are scanned and converted into numerical data that is matched against ticket or annual pass photos, allowing the system to confirm identity and validate entry. That means many visitors will be able to walk through without ever pulling out a phone or paper pass. Disney says participation is optional and that biometric data is deleted within 30 days unless needed for fraud prevention or legal purposes. Privacy advocates warn that the normalization of facial recognition in everyday spaces raises concerns about surveillance, data security, and potential misuse by companies or law enforcement. “If you collect this type of data, you have put a target on your back for people to steal it,” Adam Schwartz, privacy litigation director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said. Disneyland fan John LeSchofs, 73, was less worried. “Pretty much every other place is doing the same thing,” he told the L.A. Times.
