In the early hours of December 6, 1991, Austin firefighter David DeVay crawled through a smoke-filled frozen yogurt shop in a strip mall. The fire itself took only minutes to put out. As the smoke cleared, he saw the body of a young girl. Then another. Then two more. Four teenagers, all shot in the head, their bodies positioned in the back room. The fire had been set deliberately, and the killer had vanished. For 34 years, the "Yogurt Shop Murders" remained one of the most infamous unsolved cases in Texas history—until a detective pulled a shell casing from an evidence box, and a 30-year-old ballistic match finally revealed that the same man had also killed a woman 900 miles away in Kentucky. That man, Robert Eugene Brashers, had been dead since 1999.

The Four Girls and the Night They Died

The victims were bound together by friendship and the Future Farmers of America program. Jennifer Harveston, 17, was a tiny, fast-talking senior with a corny sense of humor who loved country dancing and could sing Reba McEntire like a pro. Her sister Sarah, 15, was quieter, fiercely competitive, and wore a gold ring from her new boyfriend. Eliza Thomas, also 17, was a vivacious, mechanically gifted senior who planned to become a veterinarian. Amy Ayers, just 13, was a true cowgirl who could ride all day and had a cutting horse named Copy. They were inseparable.

PART THREE - The final Installment of my three-part series.

PART ONE: ⁠HERE⁠

PART TWO: ⁠HERE⁠

On a Friday night in December 1991, four teenage girls planned a sleepover. Two of them were working the closing shift at a shop in a strip mall in north Austin, Texas. The other two, 15 and 13, had spent the evening at the mall a few blocks away and were waiting for a ride home from a big sister. Just before midnight, a patrol officer driving past saw flames.What happened inside that shop became one of the most infamous unsolved cases in American history. This episode covers all of it. Who these women and girls actually were, what happened that night, how the investigation went so badly wrong, and the forensic work decades later that finally answered a question four families had been asking for thirty-four years. Watch Parts One and Two first — everything connects.
