In this gripping episode, we explore the decades-long hunt for Robert Brashers, the elusive serial killer behind the infamous Yogurt Shop Murders in Austin, the I-40 rapes, and the 1990 Greenville murder of Jenny Zitricki. Former Greenville Police Chief Ken Miller shares how emerging DNA technologies, genealogy, and inter-agency collaboration finally cracked these cold cases. From wrongful convictions to cutting-edge forensic breakthroughs, discover how persistence, innovation, and determination brought justice to victims' families and revealed the shocking scope of Brashers' crimes. This is true crime storytelling at its most compelling—where science meets relentless investigation to solve cases once thought unsolvable.

UPDATE: When we first covered Robert Eugene Brashers back in April 2025, we never imagined he'd be tied to one of Texas's most infamous crimes: the 1991 Austin Yogurt Shop Murders. Now, advanced DNA testing has confirmed his link to the horrific killings that haunted Austin for more than three decades. On December 6, 1991, four teenage girls, Jennifer and Sarah Harbison, Eliza Thomas, and Amy Ayers, were found bound, gagged, and shot inside an I Can't Believe It's Yogurt! shop that had been set on fire. The case became one of Texas's deepest mysteries, spawning thousands of leads, false confessions, and the wrongful convictions of two young men later cleared by DNA evidence. Now stay tuned for episode 305: “Genetic Justice: Unmasking Robert Brashers.” From the original airdate: For years, Robert Brashers had managed to evade justice, slipping through the cracks repeatedly. But on January 13, 1999, his luck finally ran out in a modest motel room in Kennett, Missouri. What began as a routine police search quickly escalated into a tense, life-or-death standoff that would forever change the lives of those involved. Who was Robert Brashers? A man who his wife and children loved. What could have driven him to such a tragic end?  The entire truth would remain hidden for years, with whispers suggesting that there were more victims out there.   Join Jen and Cam of Our True Crime Podcast on this episode, "Genetic Justice: Unmasking Robert Brashers.”  Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHS Music is by our executive producer @theinkypawprint Sources:  https://www.facebook.com/InvestigationDiscovery/videos/connected-by-murder-on-the-case-with-paula-zahn/2284387901877879/ https://greenvillejournal.com/tag/robert-eugene-brashers/ https://www.kait8.com/2018/10/05/killer-linked-murders-missouri-tennessee-south-carolina-paragould/ https://www.oxygen.com/crime-time/murder-suspects-robert-brashers-body-exhumed-solve-two-1990s-cold-cases https://archive.today/20230115112055/https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/crime/2018/10/05/greenville-cold-case-robert-brashers-jenny-zitricki/1534079002/ https://archive.ph/20230115112155/https://www.kfvs12.com/2019/02/05/my-father-was-serial-killer-robert-brashers-daughter-speaks-out/#selection-811.21-1279.52 https://archive.ph/20230115112128/https://greenvillejournal.com/news/greenville-police-murderer-in-28-year-old-cold-case-identified/#selection-937.42-937.43 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Eugene_Brashers https://archive.today/20230115112038/https://www.fultonsun.com/news/2020/nov/19/fulton-resident-reminisces-homicide-investigation/ https://archive.ph/20230115112159/https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2019/01/13/daughter-serial-killer-rapist-tied-greenville-hes-still-my-father/2481586002/#selection-529.0-851.132 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/31099977/robert-brashers-mo-from-1985/ https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54853022/robert-brashers-florida-crime-1985/ Learn more about your ad choices.

How Cops Manufactured Confessions — The True Cost of the Yogurt Shop Cover-Up This is the segment that should make every law‑and‑order headline pause. We're not rehashing the solved case — we're pulling the thread that destroyed lives for decades: the interrogation tactics, investigative tunnel vision, and prosecutorial rush that produced false confessions in the Yogurt Shop murders. On Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta sits with us and we play back the press conference moments that acknowledged what so many suspected for years: Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen confessed under intense interrogation, and there was never physical evidence tying them to the scene. We walk through how those confessions were obtained, why they stuck in courtrooms, and how the system rewarded certainty over truth. This segment breaks that process down in plain language. We explain, with examples and legal perspective, why an 18‑hour interrogation — or five hours of repeated suggestion and pressure — can make a person confess to something they never did. We talk psychological coercion: minimization, false‑evidence ploys, repeated suggestion, exhaustion — techniques that produce the appearance of confession without producing truth. Bob describes the prosecutorial incentives that let that evidence carry the day: a damning audio tape, a nervous jury, and a DA office under pressure to close a city‑shattering crime. But it's not just psychology. We cover the procedural failures: why exculpatory DNA was ignored for years, how labs and evidence management fell short, and why internal checks — from supervisory review to independent oversight — failed to catch the drift. We also tackle the human cost: men who lost their freedom, reputations, and futures; families who were misled; and the chilling reality that the real killer stayed on the road. This is a call for accountability, not spectacle. Bob lays out concrete reforms that would have prevented these confessions from being the lynchpin of a criminal case: mandatory video of all interrogations, strict limits on session length, independent review when confessions are central, and a presumption against charging when DNA excludes suspects. We finish asking the question every viewer should be asking: how many other cases are resting on coerced admissions right now? If you want a legal, psychological and human breakdown of how police failures become life sentences — and what to do about it — watch this. This isn't just a true crime story. It's a warning.

Robert Eugene Brashers: The Serial Killer Behind the Yogurt Shop Murders In this final segment of our press conference reaction on Hidden Killers Live, we turn the focus to the man at the center of it all: Robert Eugene Brashers. Authorities say Brashers was a serial predator who used multiple aliases, traveled the country under false identities, and committed at least eight murders and rapes—possibly more. His DNA was never in CODIS. He faked an obituary. He convinced his own daughter to call him by a different name. And despite a violent criminal record and a known history of sexual assault, he was never on the radar for the Yogurt Shop Murders. So how did they finally get him? A shell casing in a floor drain. A DNA hit from a South Carolina case. And the fingernail clippings of a 13-year-old girl who fought back. We discuss the criminal profile of Brashers, the investigative blind spots that let him slip through, and why he was never caught in real time. This segment gets into the psychology of a killer—and the systemic breakdowns that let him go on killing for years. #RobertBrashers #SerialKillerProfile #YogurtShopMurders #ColdCaseDNA #HiddenKillersLive #DNABreakthrough #ForensicGenealogy #BrashersConfession #TrueCrimePodcast #SystemicFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Tunnel Vision That Ruined the Yogurt Shop Case With the Yogurt Shop murders solved, the real question becomes: what now? In this final segment, I and Robin Dreeke map out the reforms that actually matter—not symbolic ones, but structural, enforceable changes that protect truth, not narratives. We dig into: Interview design: swapping coercion for information‑gathering (PEACE-style), mandating full video, limiting session lengths, guarding vulnerable subjects Raising charging thresholds: never charge on confession alone—triangulate with physical evidence and independent corroboration Institutional red teams: formal skepticism baked into every major case Ethical limits on genealogical DNA use: how and when it should be used, how to document decision points Accountability for leadership: public commitments, timelines, and enforcement Why this matters: naming the killer is only step one. If we don't fix what went wrong, future cases will repeat the same tragedies.

In Austin, Texas, in 1991, the city was on the verge of becoming the place we know today, a tech hub, a cultural destination. But back then, it was still a big town that felt small, a place that believed itself safe from the kind of darkness that haunted bigger cities. At the Hillside strip mall on West Anderson Lane, there was a little shop called "I Can't Believe It's Yogurt!" It was a symbol of that every day American life… a place for after-school treats, first dates, and a first job. A place of simple, ordinary innocence. Buton the cold night of December 6, 1991, this symbol of innocence became the scene of an unspeakable crime. An act of such brutal violence that it would steal four young lives and leave a wound on the soul of the city that would fester for nearly 34 years. Amy, Eliza, Jennifer, and Sarah would become permanently etched into the city's memory. Their story became a decades-long quest, not just for a killer, but for the truth. It was a quest marred by false starts, thousands of dead-end leads, wrongful convictions that sent innocent men to prison, and ultimately, a scientific breakthrough that no one, not the investigators, not the families, not the city of Austin, ever saw coming. What happened inside the yogurt shop on that cold December night? And how did one of the most infamous cold cases in Texas history finally find its answer?

"Can a quarterback sneak in a yogurt endorsement mid-huddle without violating the salary cap?"In this absolutely bonkers episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew fires up the Way Back Machine and takes us to 2019—when Dak Prescott was still chasing his big contract and apparently calling plays like “Beats by Dre on two” and “Campbell's Chunky Soup on one.” Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into a treasure trove of fake-but-hysterically-real-sounding Cowboys huddle audio, where product placement meets pigskin in the most ridiculous way possible.From 7-Eleven Slurpees to SOTA weight loss, the gang riffs on how Dak might've been hustling endorsements mid-game. And just when you think it can't get dumber, Jason Witten shows up to “pull another rabbit out of his head,” and Zeke gets a shoutout about his car crash—with a plug for a local injury law firm.

Death Row on a Lie: Bob Motta on the Wrongful Yogurt Shop Convictions in Austin In this second segment of Hidden Killers Live, Bob Motta reacts to the most painful revelation of the press conference: the state's admission that Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen were innocent all along. Convicted in 2001 and 2002 on the basis of confessions extracted after 18‑ and 5‑hour interrogations, these men served years behind bars — one on death row — for crimes they didn't commit. Bob takes us inside the mechanics of coerced confessions. He explains how long hours, suggestion, minimization, and tunnel vision can make innocent people say anything to end an interrogation. He also lays out why juries still believe these confessions, even when no physical evidence supports them, and why prosecutors keep pushing cases that DNA has already undermined. This isn't just about one bad case in Austin. It's about a system that prioritizes “solved” over “proven” — and the lives ruined when that shortcut becomes policy. #YogurtShopMurders #FalseConfessions #WrongfulConviction #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #MichaelScott #RobertSpringsteen #JusticeReform #CoercedConfession #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

34 Years Late: Bob Motta Reacts to the DNA That Solved the Yogurt Shop Murders In this segment of Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta joins us to go beyond the headlines of the Austin Police press conference. Yes, DNA and forensic genealogy have now identified Robert Eugene Brashers as the killer in the 1991 Yogurt Shop Murders. But Bob's focus isn't just how it was solved — it's why it wasn't solved sooner. We break down how a single .380 shell casing sat in evidence for decades before being resubmitted to NIBIN, how a rare 27‑marker Y‑STR DNA profile languished without a match, and how a cold case detective finally pushed for manual searches across labs to find Brashers' name. Bob explains how these delays happen, why evidence can sit untouched, and what this means for other cold cases nationwide. This isn't a victory lap. It's a lesson in what happens when systems don't keep up with science — and why families shouldn't have to wait a lifetime for truth. #YogurtShopMurders #RobertBrashers #DNAJustice #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #ForensicGenealogy #ColdCaseBreakthrough #AustinCrime #SerialKillerID #TrueCrimeAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

False Confessions, No Evidence: Inside the Yogurt Shop Murders Miscarriage of Justice In this powerful segment of Hidden Killers Live, we continue watching the APD press conference and confront one of the most devastating truths about this case: the state prosecuted and convicted the wrong men. Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen were convicted in 2001 and 2002, based on confessions taken after 18- and 5-hour interrogations respectively. No physical evidence tied them to the crime scene. They were convicted anyway. In 2009, DNA evidence excluded them—and charges were finally dropped. But the damage was already done. Springsteen had been sentenced to death. Scott to life. We play back the portion of the press conference where Travis County DA Jose Garza publicly acknowledges their innocence—and we react to the gravity of what that admission means. This isn't just about a late apology. This is about decades of institutional failure. It's about tunnel vision, bad interrogation tactics, and a justice system that clung to a theory while DNA screamed “you're wrong.” We talk false confessions, prosecutorial overreach, and what real restitution should look like in cases like this—because you don't just walk away from death row and go back to normal. #YogurtShopMurders #FalseConfession #WrongfulConviction #MichaelScott #RobertSpringsteen #CoercedConfession #TravisCountyDA #JusticeReform #HiddenKillersLive #InnocenceAcknowledged Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Yogurt Shop Murders Solved After 34 Years: Press Confession Reactions + Bob Motta's Legal Analysis This is the episode that finally puts everything in perspective. In this special Hidden Killers Live breakdown, we take you inside the full Austin Police press conference announcing the long-awaited resolution of the Yogurt Shop Murders—a case that haunted Austin for 34 years. But we don't just play the tape. We unpack every revelation, contradiction, and implication in real time. And joining us for this explosive episode is defense attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, to offer a no-BS legal breakdown from the defense side—a perspective the public rarely hears. Here's what we cover: The Y-STR DNA match that finally named Robert Eugene Brashers as the killer Why that match took decades—despite the evidence being in storage for years The false confessions that led to two innocent men being convicted—one of them sentenced to death How prosecutors ignored exculpatory DNA, clung to a collapsing narrative, and refused to back down Bob's analysis of the coercive tactics used in the interrogations, and why courts continue to let this happen The broader systemic problem: tunnel vision, evidence suppression, and a culture of “win the case” over “get it right” Why Brashers was never on the radar, despite a violent criminal record and ties to multiple sexual assaults What real accountability looks like—and what reforms might actually prevent this from happening again This is more than a reaction. It's a legal autopsy of one of the most high-profile failures in American cold case history. Watch as we connect the dots the justice system refused to for over three decades.

DNA, Trauma & Knife Training: Yogurt Shop Murders Spark Bigger Questions It's the breakthrough we weren't sure we'd ever see—the Yogurt Shop Murders are finally solved, 34 years after four teenage girls were brutally killed in Austin, Texas. In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels dissect the shocking press conference that named Robert Eugene Brashears as the lone killer—thanks to a powerful combo of DNA, ballistic forensics, and forensic genealogy. He's dead, but the truth finally isn't. But this segment isn't just about the headline. It's about what took so damn long, the false confessions that wrecked innocent lives, and the mountain of physical evidence that sat untouched in filing cabinets for decades. The conversation quickly pivots from crime to culture—because if this case proves anything, it's that no one's coming to save you. Stacy opens up about her real-life decision to train in martial arts and hide knives around her apartment—not for paranoia, but for survival. And she's not alone. The live chat explodes with women chiming in: same story, same fear, same defensive strategy. This episode dives deep into the psychological scars of systemic failure, the emotional intelligence we're not teaching, and the false binary of being paranoid vs. being prepared. Also covered: the myth of “junk DNA science,” how 23andMe might've saved a life, and why too many public spaces feel like danger zones. Plus, a brutally honest conversation about growing up in fear, the trauma that shapes us, and what “safety” even means in today's world. Watch now. Comment if you've ever felt the same. And tell us—do you trust science, or Reddit?

Yogurt Shop Murders ////// UPDATE    Part 1 of 1www.TrueCrimeGarage.com After more than 33 years we finally get some closure in the infamous Yogurt Shop Murders case that has haunted Austin Texas since that sad and tragic night when four teen girls were brutally murdered. From The Austin Police Department - Austin Police have made a significant breakthrough in the 1991 I Can't Believe It's Yogurt murder case and we have new information. Our team never gave up working this case. For almost 34 years they have worked tirelessly and remained committed to solving this case for the families of Jennifer Harbison, Sarah Harbison, Eliza Thomas, and Amy Ayers, all innocent lives taken senselessly and far too soon. We have identified a suspect in these murders through a wide range of DNA testing. The suspect is Robert Eugene Brashers, who committed suicide in 1999. This remains an open and ongoing investigation. Previous True Crime Garage Yogurt Shop Murders coverage:The Yogurt Shop Murders - episodes #81 & #82Yogurt Shop Murders - 30 Years Later - episodes #539 & #540The Yogurt Shop Murders - episodes #866 & #867 Be Good, Be Kind, and Don't Litter! Thanks for listening and thanks for telling a friend.

This is a special bonus episode based on breaking news. Serial Killer Robert Eugene Brashers has been identified as the killer in the infamous 1991 Austin Yogurt Shop Murders in Austin, Texas. In that case, four teenage girls were shot execution style before the yogurt shop was set on fire. Killed in that case were 17 year old Jennifer Harbison, and her 15 year old sister Sarah Harbison. Also killed were 17 year old Eliza Thomas, and 13 year old Amy Ayers. DNA from the crime scene was connected to Robert Eugene Brashers who we covered back in episode 104 in the murders of Sherri and Megan Scherer and Genevieve Zitricki. In this bonus episode, host Jessica Bettencourt breaks down how the Yogurt shop murders were connected to Brashers, and discusses a yet unrevealed victim he may be linked to in Kentucky. We will also replay the original Brashers episode here for listeners who may not have listened to it before, or want a refresher on just how brutal a predator Robert Eugene Brashers was.  To listen to every episode of DNA: ID ad-free and get other benefits, simply  visit our channel page on Apple Podcasts to get started with an AbJack Insider subscription.

Yogurt Shop Murders: DNA Bombshell & TV Confession in Kraus Backyard Murder Two devastating crimes. One episode. And a justice system that failed in both. Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we dive into two of the most emotionally and legally disturbing cases we've ever covered. First—the Yogurt Shop Murders. Four girls brutally killed in 1991. And for years, police pursued the wrong men. Two were convicted. One died under the shadow of suspicion. All were innocent. Now, thanks to genetic genealogy and forensic DNA, the real killer—Robert Eugene Brashers—has been identified. But there's no trial coming. Brashers died by suicide in 1999. So what happens when the truth arrives three decades late? We unpack: How fire-damaged evidence was finally reanalyzed Why police ignored signs pointing away from Springsteen, Scott, and Pierce The role of coerced confessions, tunnel vision, and flawed interrogation strategy What this case teaches us about criminal psychology and investigative failure Then, we pivot to an equally bizarre and tragic case: Lorenz Kraus, who walked into a CBS6 newsroom and calmly confessed on camera to killing both his parents and burying them in the backyard… seven years ago. In Hour 2, we break down the video, explore the potential god complex behind his confession, and ask what happens when someone bypasses the justice system entirely—and tells their story to the press instead. This isn't just a double feature. It's a breakdown of how cases go wrong, how lives are ruined by bad policing, and how—sometimes—truth shows up late, if at all. Subscribe and watch to the end. Because justice delayed is one thing. But justice denied is something else entirely.

Why They Prosecuted the Wrong Men — Inside the Yogurt Shop Confession Fiasco In this segment, we tear open the wounds of the original investigation. Two men—Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott—were convicted decades ago based almost entirely on confessions that they later recanted. DNA would later exclude them entirely. What pushed investigators to pursue confessions so hard? Tunnel vision, coercive interview tactics, and information “leaks” that allowed suspects to parrot back nonpublic details. Over 50 people confessed at one point or another to this crime—many obviously false.We dig into how interview design (false‑evidence ploys, minimization, sleep deprivation) creates a dangerous illusion of certainty. Legally, these strategies drive miscarriages of justice. Psychologically, they turn confessions into weapons rather than tools of truth. In this part you'll learn: Why confessions, especially in homicide, are dangerously persuasive How contamination and leading questions distort memory What happens when investigators stop listening for disconfirmation After you hear the mistakes, you'll see how fragile the case was from the start—and why we can't treat confession = guilt as an assumption ever again. #FalseConfession #WrongfulConviction #YogurtShopCase #InterrogationTactics #TunnelVision #CriminalJusticeReform #AustinMurders #InvestigativeFailures #CriminalPsychology #InnocenceProject #YogurtShopMurders Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How DNA Finally Cracked the Yogurt Shop Murders After 34 Years This is the turning point. After 34 years of dead ends, the infamous Yogurt Shop murders in Austin have finally been cracked—not by a tip, not by a confession, but by modern genetic genealogy and DNA testing. In this first segment, I walk you through how investigators resurrected crime scene evidence, plugged it into public DNA databases, built family trees, and landed on Robert Eugene Brashers as the killer. It wasn't easy. The crime scene was ravaged by fire. Early DNA testing had limits. The wrong suspects had been tried. But in 2025, cold‑case teams used new techniques to extract male DNA profiles, cross‑referenced distant relatives, and zeroed in on Brashers. A former detective has even claimed a bullet casing found in a drain matched the firearm Brashers used in his suicide. (That's not official yet — but it's a powerful piece of the puzzle.) Why this matters: naming the suspect doesn't end the story. It shifts the burden to accountability, record integrity, and transparency. This first part shows how science finally caught up to a case that law enforcement once believed might never be solved. If you thought cold cases were frozen in time—this rewrites that myth. Tune in to see exactly how the match was made—how one small genetic lead led to the unthinkable: identifying a killer who died 26 years ago. After you see the method, you'll understand the stakes of what comes next. #YogurtShopMurders #AustinColdCase #GeneticGenealogy #DNAForensics #RobertBrashers #TrueCrimeBreakthrough #ColdCaseSolved #InvestigativeScience #CrimeDocumentary #SerialKiller  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why They Prosecuted the Wrong Men — Inside the Yogurt Shop Confession Fiasco” In this segment, we tear open the wounds of the original investigation. Two men—Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott—were convicted decades ago based almost entirely on confessions that they later recanted. DNA would later exclude them entirely. What pushed investigators to pursue confessions so hard? Tunnel vision, coercive interview tactics, and information “leaks” that allowed suspects to parrot back nonpublic details. Over 50 people confessed at one point or another to this crime—many obviously false. We dig into how interview design (false‑evidence ploys, minimization, sleep deprivation) creates a dangerous illusion of certainty. Legally, these strategies drive miscarriages of justice. Psychologically, they turn confessions into weapons rather than tools of truth.

Yogurt Shop Murders: DNA Bombshell & TV Confession in Kraus Backyard Murder Two devastating crimes. One episode. And a justice system that failed in both. Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we dive into two of the most emotionally and legally disturbing cases we've ever covered. First—the Yogurt Shop Murders. Four girls brutally killed in 1991. And for years, police pursued the wrong men. Two were convicted. One died under the shadow of suspicion. All were innocent. Now, thanks to genetic genealogy and forensic DNA, the real killer—Robert Eugene Brashers—has been identified. But there's no trial coming. Brashers died by suicide in 1999. So what happens when the truth arrives three decades late? We unpack: How fire-damaged evidence was finally reanalyzed Why police ignored signs pointing away from Springsteen, Scott, and Pierce The role of coerced confessions, tunnel vision, and flawed interrogation strategy What this case teaches us about criminal psychology and investigative failure Then, we pivot to an equally bizarre and tragic case: Lorenz Kraus, who walked into a CBS6 newsroom and calmly confessed on camera to killing both his parents and burying them in the backyard… seven years ago. In Hour 2, we break down the video, explore the potential god complex behind his confession, and ask what happens when someone bypasses the justice system entirely—and tells their story to the press instead. This isn't just a double feature. It's a breakdown of how cases go wrong, how lives are ruined by bad policing, and how—sometimes—truth shows up late, if at all. Subscribe and watch to the end. Because justice delayed is one thing. But justice denied is something else entirely.

The yogurt shop murder in Dallas, Texas, 34 years ago was one of the most infamous cold cases in the United States until this week, when police announced it was solved. Here's how that happened and whether this case could have repercussions across the country. Also, Tara Servatius at WORD Radio discusses why she believes serial killing is 'obsolete' and new evidence revealed in the Betty Ann New case in Florida.

There's been an update in the case of 13-year-old Amy Ayers, 17-year-old Eliza Thomas, and sisters 15-year-old Sarah Harbison and 17-year-old Jennifer Harbison. Whose collective murders are most often referred to as the Yogurt Shop Murders after they were all killed at the I Can't Believe It's Yogurt Shop in Austin, Texas, on December 6, 1991. On September 26th, 2025, the news broke that officials had identified the or possibly one of the perpetrators as Robert Eugene Brashers.
