True crime is a popular genre of television, but not all docu-series lead to cases being cracked years after the crimes first took place. An exception was HBO’s The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst in 2015, and now, another true crime production has been followed by big development in the real-life case. The Yogurt Shop Murders, a docu-series that premiered on HBO back in August of the 2025 TV schedule, may have identified a suspect in the murders that were committed more than three decades ago.
The four-part documentary series arrived on HBO in early August (and is available to stream now with an HBO Max subscription). It tells the story of four teenage girls who were killed in 19991 at a frozen yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. Relying on news coverage, archival video, interrogation room footage, and audio tapes in the aftermath when four teenage boys were arrested, the episodes cover the murders themselves, the subsequent arrests, the questionable confessions, DNA evidence, and the efforts of the families to heal even decades later.
