On September 27, 2025, a month after the fourth episode of HBO’s docuseries “The Yogurt Shop Murders” aired, Austin police announced that they had finally solved the 1991 cold case. Robert Eugene Brashers was responsible for the brutal rape and murders of teenagers Amy Ayers, Eliza Thomas and sisters Jennifer Harbison and Sarah Harbison.

That same day, Margaret Brown, director of “The Yogurt Shop Murders,” got on a plane to Austin, where the murders happened, to film the fifth episode of the series. Titled, “The End of Wondering,” the episode examines how DNA evidence led to Brashers’ conviction.
