About this listen

Austin, Texas. December 6th, 1991. A Friday night in a thriving city known for its music, its charm, and its safety. But that illusion shattered when a fire at a local yogurt shop revealed a horror no one could have imagined.

Four teenage girls — Amy Ayers, Sarah Harbison, Eliza Thomas, and Jennifer Harbison — were found bound, gagged, and murdered inside the I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt! store. The shop was set ablaze in an attempt to cover up the crime, but the violence could not be erased.

Despite early arrests and confessions, the case has never truly been solved. DNA evidence conflicted with police narratives. Convictions were overturned. And decades later, Austin still doesn’t know who took those girls' lives.

This episode explores the failed investigation, the haunting physical space of 2949 West Anderson Lane, and the families left to endure a justice system that never delivered. It is a story of fire, silence, and four girls whose laughter still echoes through the city’s memory.
