Four teenage girls were viciously murdered in 1991, their bodies left to burn in a fire – along with so much evidence – that engulfed the Austin, Texas, yogurt shop where two of them worked.
The memories surrounding this case can be fraught and vivid for anyone who lived in the area at the time, not just because of the devastating nature of the crime, but also the seismic way the surrounding community rallied around the victims’ families. They would march and hold up signs, put up billboards, and make buttons and coffee mugs, the paraphernalia all asking the question left unanswered to this day: “Who killed these girls?” This being Austin, local artists even came up with a song: We Will Not Forget.
