This collection documents the core timeline of the Athena Hogan murder case. It covers the initial 1986 investigation, the wrongful arrest of Robert Taylor, and his subsequent $1 million legal claims against the city for damage to his reputation.
The document also tracks the separate assault on Athena’s mother, Cindy Hogan, whose assailant, Ronnie Lewis Miller, had his charges dismissed because her brain damage prevented her from identifying him. Finally, it details the preliminary hearing for Harvey Lee Templeton, where forensic carpet fiber evidence was used to bind him over for trial, and the school board’s decision to ban door-to-door sales for elementary students.
