The Austin Yogurt Shop Murders: How DNA Finally Solved a 34-Year-Old Cold Case
In December 1991, four teenage girls were murdered inside an Austin yogurt shop. The crime scene was burned. The evidence was destroyed. Two innocent men went to prison for nearly a decade. And the real killer? He was already dead by the time they were arrested. This is the story of how genetic genealogy finally solved one of Texas's most brutal cold cases 34 years later, and why the truth took so long to surface. We're talking about coerced confessions, a serial killer who should have never been free, and a justice system that failed at every possible turn.
