Christe Eugenia Rogers was 14 when she was killed on June 1, 1989, in Clearwater Beach, Florida. She, her mother Joan Rogers and her sister Michelle Rogers were on vacation from Ohio when all three were murdered. Their bodies were found floating in Tampa Bay, bound and tied to concrete blocks. Autopsies determined they had been thrown into the water alive and died by drowning.

Investigators traced the killings to a man identified as Oba Chandler, who allegedly lured the family onto his boat for a sightseeing tour. Evidence cited in the case included handwriting analysis and witness testimony that linked Chandler to the crime; he was convicted and later sentenced to death. The brutality of the attack and the fact the victims were killed while on a family vacation drew wide attention.

Can anyone who knew the Rogers family or their travel plans in late May 1989 provide additional details about their time in Florida?
