The Yogurt Shop Murders: Justice Still Waiting

Twisted and Mysterious by Sarah and Faren Bearowitz

Episode notes

Four teenage girls, a strip mall frozen yogurt shop, and one of the most haunting unsolved cases in Texas history. In this episode, we dive deep into the 1991 Austin Yogurt Shop Murders—and the tangled mess of false confessions, unanswered questions, and lingering grief left in their wake.

We also take a quick detour into mall nostalgia (raise your hand if you miss Sam Goody) and the surprisingly dramatic lawsuit between TCBY and I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt. But at the heart of it all is a call for change: why police reform must include trained mental health professionals in interrogations—especially when lives and justice are on the line.
