Four teenage girls were working the closing shift at a yogurt shop in Austin, Texas.

That night, a fire broke out inside the store.

When emergency responders arrived, they discovered that what had happened was not an accident.

The case would become one of the most widely known unsolved investigations in Texas — involving multiple suspects, contested confessions, and decades of forensic review.

More than 30 years later, it remains unresolved.
