Austin, Texas, December 6, 1991. A yogurt shop goes up in flames. Inside, firefighters find four teenage girls. The fire was only the cover. Their killer walked away, and decades later, no one has been convicted of the murders.
In this episode of Crime Junkie, WANTED: Austin Yogurt Shop Killer, Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat walk through one of the most haunting cold cases in Texas history. They cover the night of the crime, the early investigation, and the confessions that put four men in the spotlight. Charges were brought against two of them. Then the case unraveled.
That is where the story takes its turn. Advances in forensic technology produced DNA that did not match the men who were once charged. It pointed to an unknown male suspect. The case is still open, and the families of the victims are still waiting for someone to be held accountable. Investigators have continued to ask the public for help, and the episode lays out exactly why this one remains so hard to crack.
Who was in that shop? And why has the answer stayed out of reach for so long? Press play tonight and listen on Apple Podcasts, or find it wherever you get your podcasts.
