Summary
Maurice Pierce and Forrest Welborn were two young men that had been suspected of involvement back in 1991, while Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen - their friends at the time - had been with them on the weekend of the murders. Now in their mid-20's, these four were alleged to have murdered four teenage girls in a yogurt shop years prior, and were subsequently charged with their deaths.
Over the next several years, a complicated story would begin to play out in the Texas court system, where anyone's guilt was far from assured. Eventually, the state's case would begin to fall apart under pressure, leading us to the present day...

| 0:00.0 | In October of 1988, roughly three years before Austin's infamous yogurt shop murders, a |
| 0:15.2 | similar story would begin to play out at another establishment in the city. |
| 0:19.4 | On the morning of October 24, 1988, 20-year-old Nancy DePrisse was opening up an Austin area |
| 0:26.2 | of Pizza Hut all by herself, which wasn't unusual. |
| 0:29.9 | However that morning, someone would gain entry to the Pizza Hut and would brutally attack |
| 0:34.8 | Nancy inside. |
| 0:36.5 | Her lifeless body was later found, naked, bound, and bleeding from a gunshot wound to the |

| 0:43.0 | A panicked investigation ensued, with police unable to find out who had committed this |
