Robert Eugene Brashers was arrested and convicted of multiple crimes. The first convictions should have landed him in prison for twelve years, but he served just three before getting released for good behavior. The result was multiple murdered women. It wouldn't be until Robert was buried did the truth begin to come to light. The result-a posthumous serial killer label. In 2025, he was verified to have been the offender of the yogurt shop murder. Killing four teenagers in Austin, Texas in 1991.

In 1991 in Austin, Texas four teenagers are murdered. Two girls are closing up the yogurt shop that they work at while younger sister and a friend wait for a ride home. Sometime during their final clean up, they are attacked. All of them are bound, shot in the head, and the shop is lit on fire. Investigators do everything they can think of to solve the crime. Eight years later four men are charged, two confess and are convicted. Later winning appeals. In order to bolster their case, DA goes back to collected DNA. It is then, that science proved they convicted the wrong men. Still the case goes cold until 2025, when it is finally solved. The murderer with a long history of such crimes, but he will never see the inside of a courtroom for these murders. Having committed suicide in 1999 during a police stand off. Still families now know, who truly was to blame.

All of these women are missing or died under suspicious circumstances. There are no cases of closure this month. The families often left without the knowledge of where their loved ones are or what happened in their final moments. Again this is another group of cases of missing and murdered indigenous women.
