Description
On Friday, December 6, 1991, when the fire trucks arrived at a fire at the I Can't Believe It's Yogurt shop on W. Anderson Lane in Austin, Texas, they put out a fire in the rear of the store and then discovered the charred remains of 4 teenage girls. Only Amy Ayres was not burned beyond recognition. Two of the girls, Jennifer Harbison and Aliza Thomas were working the late shift and Jennifer's sister, Sara and her friend, Amy joined them to help close the store. The fire was reported at 11:57 by a Austin PD patrolman and the first fire truck arrived around 12:03. When Detective John Jones was called to the scene, he only knew there were 4 bodies. He had no idea the grisly scene that he was to about to find. The girls had all met in the local high school FHA and were planning to have sleep-over that night. Before they closed, 2 young guys were sitting at a booth, suspiciously not having yogurt and were the last customers seen in the store before closing. We only know that the girls were found naked, bound, all shot in the head and at least one sexually assaulted. This is the beginning of a journey that will be detailed in this episode and the next.
