25. Weekly Roundup | March 31, 2026 | Sheridan Gorman · Cheryl Henry & Andy Atkinson · Samantha Goolsby · Gilgo Beach

In Chicago, 18-year-old Loyola University freshman Sheridan Gorman walked to a lakefront beach at midnight with friends to see the city skyline. She whispered that someone was behind the lighthouse. There was one shot. Every segment this week was about politics. This show is about Sheridan. In Houston, a 36-year cold case broke open — the 1990 Lovers Lane murders. Cheryl Henry was 22. Andy Atkinson was 21. They went on a date night and never came home. Their mothers and Andy's father did not live to see this week. In Cookeville, Tennessee, 34-year-old Samantha Goolsby didn't come home Tuesday night. She was found in the woods the next afternoon. Most of the country never heard her name. We said it. And Rex Heuermann — charged with seven Gilgo Beach murders — is expected to plead guilty April 8th.Before we talk about how they died, we talk about how they lived.Sources: Block Club Chicago — Sheridan Gorman: https://blockclubchicago.org/2026/03/27/loyola-murder-suspect-ordered-detained-by-judge-who-calls-crime-horrible/Chicago Sun-Times — Sheridan Gorman: https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/03/24/heres-what-to-know-killing-sheridan-gormanWTTW Chicago — Sheridan Gorman: https://news.wttw.com/2026/03/27/man-charged-fatal-shooting-loyola-freshman-sheridan-gorman-be-detained-pending-trialNBC Chicago — Sheridan Gorman: https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/suspect-in-killing-of-loyola-university-chicago-student-was-hiding-behind-lighthouse-prosecutors/3912716/Click2Houston — Lovers Lane DNA: https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2026/03/26/the-crucial-tip-and-dna-link-that-led-to-a-capital-murder-arrest-for-1990-texas-lovers-lane-cold-case/KHOU Houston — Floyd Parrott arrest: https://www.khou.com/article/news/crime/lovers-lane-killings-cold-case-arrest-houston-texas/285-fd2b5b56-b8ce-4dcc-845e-85cafc8a09a3CBS News — Lovers Lane timeline: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lovers-lane-cold-case-murders-houston-suspect-arrested/ABC13 Houston — Henry and Atkinson families: https://abc13.com/post/lovers-lane-murders-arrest-made-1990-west-houston-killing-cheryl-henry-andy-atkinson-authorities-say/18779096/FOX 17 Nashville — Samantha Goolsby: https://fox17.com/news/local/missing-woman-found-dead-suspect-charged-with-murder-in-putnam-countyNBC News — Rex Heuermann: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/suspect-gilgo-beach-serial-killings-rex-heuermann-expected-guilty-pSupport the show
