Austin police have linked the killing of four teenage girls at a yogurt shop in Texas’ capital city in 1991 to Robert Eugene Brashers, a serial killer and rapist known to have killed at least two women and one 12 year-old girl.

On Dec. 6, 1991, four teenage girls were found dead inside the “I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt!” yogurt shop along a bustling business road in north Austin. All four girls were found bound and stacked on top of each other — each shot in the head. Some had been sexually assaulted.

The case was never solved, and it’s become one of Texas’ most well-known cold cases. Thirty-four years later, the case is back in the spotlight after DNA and ballistics testing identified Brashers as the suspect, according to Austin Mayor Kirk Watson’s office.

Brashers died by suicide after a 1999 standoff with police at a Missouri motel. During the incident, Brashers took his wife, daughters and stepdaughter hostage before ultimately shooting himself. His death was ruled a suicide though he died days later from his injuries.

The victims in the Austin yogurt shop murders were 17-year-old Jennifer Harbison and her sister Sarah, 15, Eliza Thomas, 17, and 13-year-old Amy Ayers.

Wonder if this is actually true or if they're just placing blame to solve the case. Maybe he was a serial killer AFTER the yogurt shop slayings, but having 2 bodies under your belt doesn't automatically make it serial.
Wait till you've established a MO.
