Four teenage girls were closing a yogurt shop in North Austin on Friday night in December. Two of them worked there and two were waiting on a ride home. The shop shut at 11 o'clock and they would never be seen alive. Again, the city of Austin, Texas would then spend over 30 years trying to solve the case. This is a story of the yogurt shop murders. Crime, conspiracy, cults, serial killers and murder. All things that I love to consume and I know you do too. You sick, twisted, beautiful, intellectually minded freak. And today we're talking about quite an infamous case in Texas, one that almost went cold. So without further ado, let's unbuckle our seatbelts, go mock fight on the highway, slam on the brakes, and bust to the windshield into this almost cold case together.

Let's take a quick pause to talk about something that's annoying. Okay, and that's when you're out and about and your phone dies. But that's not a problem I have, because I don't leave the house without my Ridge power bank. And that's my gifting rule for this year, is that nothing will end up sitting in a drawer. Because Ridge's 5-in-1 travel power bank has built-in cables, mag, safe wireless charging, and an Apple Watch charger, lightning, and USB-C. So one thing charges literally everything. And with 20 watts and a 10,000mAh battery, you get up to three full phone charges. Perfect for anyone upgrading to the iPhone 18 Plus there's free shipping and a 99-day risk-free trial and a lifetime warranty. And if that's not your thing or the thing that you think that the person you're gifting wants, Ridge also has wallets, luggage and tracker cards for the person who loses everything, like me. But you can find the power bank at Best Buy, Amazon, or head to ridge.com and get 10% off with code CCCM. That's ridge.com, code CCCM for 10% off. And when they ask who sent you, let them know that I sent you. Thank you so much to Ridge for sponsoring the video and supporting the channel, and let's get back to it. By the winter of 1991, Amy Lee Ayers was 13 years old. She was an Austin girl born on January 31, 1978, and raised on a ranch by her parents, Bob and Pam Ayers. And her only sibling was her older brother, Sean, who was 19 that winter.

Her parents described her as a cowgirl, she's country, Clint Black Garth Brooks. And her father, Bob, continued, beans and cornbread, onion, and a bowl of cereal every morning with chocolate milk, unquote. Her family called her, quote, unquote, an old soul at an early age. She'd been a horse rider since she was only three years old, and she started showing them at the same age, competing in front of judges. And recently she'd been showing cutting horses, which are the ones trained to pull a single cow out of a herd. And Pam said, quote, I can see her riding and just taking off across a pasture on a horse and enjoying it because she loved it so much, unquote. But she didn't stop with horses, because she also took part in the Travis County Livestock Show, where she showed hogs and entered the arts and crafts fair.

And Sean competed in rodeos, and Amy went to watch him whenever she was able. And she'd even trained her dog herself with a few tricks and basic commands. Animals that ran from other people would walk right up to her.
