Kearsley Mitchell was a wealthy lover who might have killed her to avoid the relationship going public (his love letters to her were missing upon her death).

A large amount of jewelry (worth $250,000 in today's dollars) was missing from her apartment. Guimares was also her lover and he battered her.

Soon after this murder, a second similar murder was committed (see the entry for Louise Lawson), so the press linked them. The term "Butterfly" was intended to describe the victims as young women attracted to NY City for its "bright lights." Both women were relatively poor out-of-towners who came to NYC to find work in the theater and modeling and ended up being mostly the consorts of wealthy men. It was reported that the two women traveled in the same circles and were friends. There is some speculation by a mutual friend that Louise Lawson was killed because she knew who killed Dot King. | |||||||||

12 | 6/20/1965 | Edwina Ivor Harmon Rogers | 79 | White | ![]() | Houston | TX | Charles Frederick Rogers, 43, (born December 30, 1921) was her son and was an American seismologist, pilot, and suspected murderer. Rogers disappeared in June 23,1965 after police discovered the dismembered bodies of his elderly parents in the refrigerator of the Houston home all three shared. The media later dubbed the crime "The Icebox Murders". Rogers has never been found and was declared dead in absentia in July 1975. He remains the only suspect in the murders, which are still considered unsolved. During World War II, he was a pilot in the United States Navy and also served in the Office of Naval Intelligence. On June 23, 1965, two Houston police officers forced their way into the Rogers' home after Edwina's nephew Marvin became concerned about the couple when his phone calls to his aunt went unanswered for days. Upon entering the home, police found nothing unusual but noticed food sitting on the dining room table. One officer opened the refrigerator and found what appeared to be numerous cuts of washed, unwrapped meat neatly stacked on the shelves. The officer later recalled that he thought the meat was that of a butchered hog. As the officer was closing the door, he noticed two human heads visible through the clear glass of the vegetable bin. The heads were those of Fred and Edwina Rogers. What the officer initially thought was unwrapped cuts of hog meat were the couple's dismembered limbs and torsos. Police later discovered the couple's organs in a nearby sewer (the organs had been removed, cut up and flushed down the toilet) while other remains were never found. Police determined that Fred and Edwina Rogers had been killed on June 20, Father's Day. An autopsy showed that Fred Rogers was killed by blows to the head with a claw hammer. His eyes had been gouged out and his genitalia were removed. Edwina Rogers had been beaten and shot, execution style, in the head. | No | Multiple injuries (beaten and shot in the head) | She was dismembered and found in the refrigerator in their home. | Her husband Fred C.

Although it was quickly determined that the blood was from a male, the blood and prints did not match any entries in the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) or fingerprint databases. Parabon Nanolabs took the DNA found at the scene of Sherry’s murder and “created images of what the man may have looked like based on genetic code that dictates physical traits, such as face shape, and eye, skin and hair color.” The company determined that the perpetrator is African-American, with light brown to brown skin and black hair. Because the company could not identify the perpetrator’s age from the DNA, Parabon Nanolabs created images of what the murderer would look like at ages 25, 38 and 52. | https://www.sltrib.com/news/2017/11/30/police-to-release-new-developments-in-sherry-black-unsolved-murder/ | ||||||||||||||||

The residence is less than 10 miles outside Clemson.

Armed with this information, police launched a “large-scale search of the area,” which included cadaver dogs. Police said it spilled over to a nearby creek and more partial human remains were discovered, including a head and torso in a nearby tributary creek. While the head and torso are “in a state of advanced decomposition,” the coroner still believes Sell most likely died within the past few months, and no longer than a year ago, according to a news release. The woman had no teeth, and it “appeared she has had no teeth for a while.” | https://www.thestate.com/news/state/south-carolina/article232948797.html | Dawn Wilcox | She was a former Easley resident who briefly lived with her sister in the Seneca area. | |||||||||||||
