The Yogurt Shop Murders: Inside HBO’s Final Episode (With Director Margaret Brown)

Documentary filmmaker Margaret Brown joins Rae on Dark Stories to talk about the Yogurt Shop Murders - the 1991 case that haunted Austin, Texas for over three decades.

The fifth and final episode, "The End of Wondering," premieres Friday, May 22, 2026 on HBO and HBO Max.

On December 6, 1991, four teenage girls, Amy Ayers, Sarah Harbison, Jennifer Harbison, and Eliza Thomas, were murdered at an "I Can't Believe It's Yogurt!" shop in Austin, Texas. The case sat unsolved for 34 years. Four men were wrongfully accused. One was killed by police before his name was cleared. Then in September 2025, the case was finally solved.

Margaret spent three and a half years with the families. She joins Rae to talk about grief, resolution, the wrongfully accused, and what it means when the truth finally comes.

Content note: discusses violence against young girls, sexual assault, and wrongful convictions.
