The Icebox Murder

        On June 23,1965 a gruesome murder took place human, flesh, and organs were found stuffed into the freezer. This terrible act was committed by a person who was angry. This person wanted nothing more than for these people to suffer. However, I believe that the person here was more of a victim than the actual victims. In my investigation I have come to the logical conclusion that the killer of this crime was in fact Charles Rogers the killer of his parents Fred and Edwina Rogers.


       

             In my investigation I found that Charles Rogers was the only suspect of the crime.According to houstonimage.com it states that "But the police didn't get the chance to speak to Charles, despite a nationwide manhunt". That's a little suspicious, because despite an entire search of the nation they could not find this man. However, on chron.com it stated "They contended that he skipped town for Mexico, hiding with the help of his connections in oil and mining". Why would he need to skip town and head straight for Mexico, the answer is simple he knew he would be figured out as the killer, so he ran.



              While Charles Rogers is the killer of this crime I believe that he was more of a victim than a criminal. According, to houstonimage.com it states "The Gardiniers say that Charles was physically and emotionally abused by his parents well into adulthood, and that at the end of their lives they were defrauding him by forging his signature on deeds of land that he owned. Charles owned the house they all lived in not his parents, and Edwina had apparently taken out loans on it and pocketed the money". This man was betrayed by the very people who is supposed to trust no matter. However, they abused and took advantage of him through out his entire childhood and well into his adulthood.



                  In Conclusion, I believe that Charles Rogers is the Killer behind the icebox murder. What reason would a man need to skip town for Mexico, for no other than that he committed a murder. However, while Charles Rogers did commit this murder he is not the one to truly be blamed for this crime. He was abused and betrayed by his own parents people who he was suppose to trust out of everyone in the world. This is John Henrik saying
