Four Girls Were Executed After Closing — The Yogurt Shop Murders

Описание: Four teenage girls finished their shift at a yogurt shop in Austin, Texas, on the night of December 6, 1991.
They never made it home.

What followed was not only one of the most brutal crimes in modern American history, but also one of the most devastating failures of the criminal justice system. A case defined by contaminated evidence, coerced confessions, wrongful convictions, and decades of unanswered questions.

This is the full story of the Yogurt Shop Murders — from the night the girls were executed after closing, through years of investigative collapse, false justice, and finally, a scientific answer that arrived more than thirty years too late.

This documentary-style video reconstructs the crime, the investigation, the wrongful prosecutions, and the 2024 breakthrough that identified a suspect long after the damage had already been done.
