Three weeks after <em>The Yogurt Shop Murders<\/em> (first) concluded on HBO, the 34-year-old cold case was finally solved. So yeah, nada for 1,768 weeks, then the docuseries runs, and then three weeks later the Austin Police Department (APD) say they have the real murderer: serial killer Robert Eugene Brashers. And he\u2019s dead anyway.  \t<\/p>\n<p> \tUsing DNA evidence, Brashers was identified as the killer after the Austin PD got the wrong man \u2014 er, men. Well, really they were teens at the time: at various points, the police got confessions from Forrest Welborn, Maurice Pierce, Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott. The confessions are now believed to have been coerced through intensive interview techniques.<\/p>\n<p> \t\u201cThe End of Wondering\u201d opens with the APD convening a sudden press conference to announce the big break in the quadruple homicide, which took the life of four teenage girls way back in 1991. It features cold case detective Dan Jackson, APD lead investigator (1991-1994) John Jones, APD lead investigator (1997-2002) Paul Johnson, genetic genealogist CeCe Moore, filmmaker Claire Huie, falsely accused suspect Forrest Welborn, and the widow and daughter of another falsely accused suspect Maurice Pierce. The families of each of the four murdered teenage girls also participate.  \t<\/p>\n<p> \tThe HBO Documentary Films series is produced by A24, Fruit Tree, and Pig Village. It is executive produced by Brown, Emma Stone, Dave McCary, Mickey Stanley, Beth Garrabrant, Ali Herting, Avi Belkin, Limor Gott Ronen, Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller and Sara Rodriguez. <em>The Yogurt Shop Murders<\/em> is produced by Alice Henty and Michael Bloch.<\/p>\n<p> \tWatch the new episode\u2019s trailer below:<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Yogurt Shop Murders Ep 5 | Official Trailer | HBO\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-cookieconsent=\"statistics, marketing\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D9h0wSvS2ls?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><div class=\"cookieconsent-optout-statistics cookieconsent-optout-marketing\">\u53d7\u3051\u5165\u308c\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044 <a href=\"javascript:Cookiebot.renew()\">statistics, marketing<\/a> \u3053\u306e\u52d5\u753b\u3092\u8996\u8074\u3059\u308b\u306b\u306f\u30af\u30c3\u30ad\u30fc\u304c\u5fc5\u8981\u3067\u3059\u3002.<\/div> <\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HBO\u2018s The Yogurt Shop Murders isn\u2019t over yet, even if the case is now closed.
