My fiance is Adam Rivers. Son of Timothy Wayne Rivers. Timothy Rivers was Earnest Rivers brother. Earnest was Carolyns husband for a year before this murder. Adam is on the case now. Adam will have justice for his aunt and uncle.

Honestly sometimes it just takes one person that just won't let go and pushes, doesn't let closed door deter them. I am so glad your fiance is that person. I pray your family finds what they are looking for.

On June 7, 1981, Carolyn Rivers, 22, and her husband Earnest Rivers, 23, were found shot to death in their Wichita home at 2002 N Minneapolis. The double homicide ended two young lives and began an investigation that did not produce arrests or publicly identified suspects.

Details about the crime scene, motive, or how the investigation proceeded have not been released; the Wichita Police Department’s Cold Case Unit still lists the case as open. The lack of public information has left significant gaps in the timeline and in understanding who might have had reason to target the couple.

Did anyone in Wichita in 1981 have memories, photographs, or information about Carolyn and Earnest or about unusual activity near 2002 N Minneapolis that could help the case?
