@crmnallyobsessed: John Jones, the now-retired detective who first led the investigation into the infamous 1991 yogurt shop murders, donned a distinctive green and white striped shirt at a press conference—a shirt he had pledged to wear again only when the case was finally solved. That day finally came, thanks to new forensic evidence linking the crime to serial killer Robert Eugene Brashers, who died by suicide in 1999. On December 6, 1991, four teenage girls—Jennifer and Sarah Harbison, Eliza Thomas, and Amy Ayers—were bound, shot, and killed inside an Austin yogurt shop, which was then set on fire. Jones, the original lead detective on the case, returned for the announcement after decades of frustration and dead ends. A critical breakthrough came from recent DNA testing of evidence found under 13-year-old Amy Ayers' fingernails. The sample matched Brashers with overwhelming probability. Additional connections were made through ballistics and links to a 1998 case in Kentucky. A bullet casing from the scene matched a gun Brashers had owned. Detective Daniel Jackson, now leading the case, praised Amy for fighting back—an act that preserved the DNA evidence responsible for solving the case more than three decades later. #truecrime #yogurtshopmurders
