In this episode of Crime Junkie, Ashley and Brit revisit the unsolved Yogurt Shop Murders from 1991 in Austin, Texas, where four young girls were brutally murdered after closing time. They detail the crime scene, the botched initial investigation, and the subsequent coerced confessions of four young men, two of whom were eventually convicted but later released due to constitutional rights violations and exculpatory DNA evidence. The hosts discuss the flawed investigation, the lack of physical evidence tying the convicted men to the crime, and the lingering questions surrounding the identities of two mysterious men seen in the shop shortly before the murders, emphasizing the need for further investigation and advanced DNA testing to bring justice to the victims and their families.
