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 …

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.
The Three Tramps
And there was a pack with a lot of newspaper articles.
They als found this gun. It’s the kind that usually are issued to federal workers, but of course other people can have them. But they found this gun and it had been wiped clean, there were no fingerprints. And it was indeed the weapon that was used to kill Edwina. And then he had taken a hammer, it was believed that he killed his father with a hammer. What happened is that she went to his door and … because he murdered her outside of his door, and dragged her down the stairs. He mopped up the stairs a little bit, not a very good job of mopping. And he took her to the bath tub and bled her out and disected her there.
This is the saw he used. There is lots of flesh and blood in that saw. It is very obviously the weapon used, or the tool, the utensil to take them apart, his parents.

And then there is this …
And here is a picture of Charles Rogers. From the Navy, he was in the Navy. But he was also in the Navy intelligence corps. I don’t know exactly what they call it, but all of the armed forces, everyone knows that after World War II all of the armed forces, their intelligence people were merged together to form the CIA. And we are in possession of a document that says he was in Navy Intelligence.
Here is his highschool picture where he is smiling.
And there is the shorter tramp. Charles Rogers was five foot five, a 145 pounds, and he was 41 years old that day. every single feature is consistent. The only thing is the the person on the right has aged, from that highschool picture.
Editor’s note: Unfortunately, there is hardly any photo known of Charles Rogers contemporary with the 1963 time frame. Only photo’s of a much younger Charles Rogers are available. The look of people’s appearances may alter with age. Although the shorter tramp may look somewhat different to the untrained eye, every facial structure and dimension is consistent.
And on the left you notice the man with the tie. Those sixties’ thin ties. He has got his head down. Notice the bones shape in his forehead …
The hairline. Everything. To me this definitely could be Charles Rogers.
Here is another picture. Do you notice that even though the blond tramp is behind him, he still comes off looking a little taller? He should appear way shorter because in the distance things get smaller. So he is obviously shorter than Charles Harrelson.
