1:23Now PlayingThe yogurt shop murders are considered by many to be one of the darkest chapters in Austin’s history. Authorities believe a man entered the I Can't Believe It's Yogurt! shop on West Anderson Lane shortly after the store closed at 11 p.m.
For years, investigators believed Robert Springsteen, Michael Scott, Maurice Pierce, and Forrest Welborn were responsible for the killings.
But a breakthrough in the investigation last fall identified a different suspect: The now-deceased serial killer Robert Eugene Brashers, who Austin cold case detectives believe acted alone.
A landmark court hearing is set for Thursday in Austin as a state district judge is expected to exonerate the four men falsely accused of killing four teenage girls at a yogurt shop in 1991.
