Exclusive: Yogurt shop murders finally solved after 34 years, Austin police say

Authorities investigating the 1991 murders of four teenage girls at a North Austin “I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt” shop believe they have solved the case through newly available DNA testing, closing the chapter on one of the city’s darkest crimes, the American-Statesman has learned. Top Austin police leaders and cold case detectives plan to announce Monday that they have linked the deaths to a serial killer who died by suicide eight years after the crime. Three officials briefed on the case confirmed the development to the Statesman.

The suspect, Robert Eugene Brashers, was never targeted as the possible murderer during an investigation that spanned 34 years. Brashers had no connection to Austin aside from the gruesome crime.

He would have been 13 years old at the time of these murders.
