Yoghurt Shop Murders Part Two #64

On the evening of December 6th, 1991 four teenage girls were murdered inside of a yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. Two of the girls were 17-year-old employees of the yogurt shop, Jennifer Harbison and Eliza Thomas, while the other two were Jennifer's 15-year-old sister and her 13-year-old best friend, Sarah Harbison and Amy Ayers.

The bodies of all four were found after a patrolling police officer found smoke coming from the yogurt shop at around midnight. Within minutes, the location was crawling with more than a dozen firefighters, who had quickly killed the flame, but then found the bodies in the back area of the yogurt shop.

Throughout a lengthy investigation, police would determine that the victims had been forced to undress, and were then bound in their own clothing, before being shot in the back of the head. All had been shot at least once, but the youngest victim - Amy Ayers, whose body was found separated from the other three by several feet - had been shot twice. It would later be revealed that at least one .38-caliber shell and slug would be recovered from the crime scene, in addition to four .22-caliber bullets, which were taken from the victims' bodies.
