Travis County prosecutors in December 2025 moved to begin exonerating four men after the Austin Police Department identified serial killer Robert Eugene Brashers as the likely perpetrator of the 1991 yogurt shop murders through DNA testing in September 2025. Investigators also noted a bullet casing recovered from a drain at the scene is consistent with the gun Brashers used to kill himself in 1999, strengthening the link.
