The Yogurt Shop Murders

In 1991, four teenage girls were brutally murdered at a frozen yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. Forever shaking the community, the case mystified the police and haunted the victims left in the wake of unthinkable loss – until 2025 when new DNA technology offered a break in the 34-year-old case. Including interviews with investigators, victims’ families, and the men who served time for the crime, this five-part series raises complex questions about law enforcement practices and the power of suggestion on memory. As those closest to the case continue to struggle with ongoing trauma, The Yogurt Shop Murders recognizes the importance of storytelling to help in healing, while exploring the fragility and resilience of the mind – in preserving memories, coping with loss, and the maintaining of one’s own innocence.
