'The Yogurt Shop Murders' Director Reveals Why She's 'Hopeful' Case Will Be Solved After 30 Years

On the night of December 6th, 1991, a fire raged inside an Austin I Can't Believe It's Yogurt shop. After the blaze was put out, a grizzly scene was revealed. The bodies of four girls – Amy Ayers, Eliza Thomas, and sisters Sarah and Jennifer Harbison, were found bound and shot in the back of the store. The shocking crime haunted the community and answers as to who murdered the teenagers eluded investigators. Over the last three decades, this case has been filled with twists and turns – multiple false confessions, convictions that were then overturned years later, and DNA evidence found at the scene that still does not have a match. Close to 34 years later, the case still remains unsolved. Margaret Brown, director of 'The Yogurt Shop Murders,' joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss her new documentary series that reexamines the story.
