The Three Tramps
And this is a sketch he did as a tribute to Lee Harvey Oswald. It's just a sketch that he did, as he knew what happened and he knew Lee Harvey Oswald. Chauncey knew him and he really resented that he was a sacrificial lamb that day and was later killed by Jack Ruby.
Okay, let's go to June 23 rd, 1965. It's 1815 Driscoll Street in Houston, Texas. A nephew of this older couple Fred and Edwina Rogers, called the cops because they wouldn't answer the phone and they wouldn't come to the door. Charles Bullock, an officer, and his partner Leo Bartha made the scene.
They noticed a lot of the food was taken from the refrigerator and was sitting out in cans and tops, and there was a pair of dentures laying on the table too .... and they couldn't find anything amiss untill ....
.... Bullock opened the refrigerator ...
(Graphic picture not suitable for use)
and he thought perhaps they had slaughtered a hog ... because it was still full of meat. And then he opened the crystalator door and he saw that there were heads in there and he realized what it was.
It was Fred Rogers ... 81 years old ....
and Edwina Rogers, 79 years old. Female, the wife. And they had both been disected, joint by joint, and murdered.
And the only identifiable suspect is their son, Charles Rogers, who was estranged from his parents. This is the inside of his apartment as they found it. He only communicated with his mom by notes that he would pass under the door. He is very ... he is enigmatic, because from the year of 1957 on, he was unemployed. We have his social security number and there is no monies taken out for federal tax, from him, from 1957 on. And again, this is 1965. And yet for two years, in 1958 and 1959, he owned an airplane and kept it and paid hangar fees to have it kept at Hull Airport. And there is no way, he had no means of any visual support to be able to pay for even fuel or an airplane, or the fees the keep it stored there.
When they went out there, they found kind of a probe kitchen situation .....
where he would make food on a hot plate in his room.
