Three decades after the crime, new advancements help investigators link a suspect to Austin's infamous Yogurt Shop Murders.  The break in the case highlights how new technology could lead to breakthroughs in other unsolved cases.  Dylan McKim interviews Congressman Michael McCaul to get his perspective on the new developments, and how legislation he led could help investigators crack more cold cases. Texas voters will soon decide if the state will spend billions of dollars to boost dementia research.  The plan has widespread support, but the cost has some people pushing back. A Democrat stronghold is now set up to send a Republican to Congress.  We look at the effect redistricting is having in one redrawn district, and how Republican candidates are rushing in to campaign for a seat in Congress.
