On November 30, 1989, 16-year-old Bernette Edwards was found murdered in her Houston apartment alongside her identical twin sister Annette Edwards and their mother Bonita Edwards. The scene, discovered by Bonita’s boyfriend King Solomon after several days of unanswered calls, was described as bloody and violent: Bernette had a pink shirt wrapped around her neck and through her mouth as a gag and had suffered multiple stab wounds to the neck and chest; investigators also found strong evidence she had been sexually assaulted. Annette was found semi-nude with signs of sexual assault, and Bonita had been stabbed to death.

There were no signs of forced entry, the bedroom door had been broken open, and the phone was off the hook. DNA from semen on a bedsheet matched Garcia Glen White, who later confessed and said he acted in the apartment; blood on the same sheet was consistent with either Annette or Bernette. White was indicted in May 1996 and convicted in July 1996 for the sisters’ murders.

Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood or the family from 1989 that could add context to the case?
