Summary

Thank you to Nic from the True Crime Garage Podcast. He is a library full of information about this case. I wanted to take a look at this case. I just finished Beverly Lowry’s book, Who Killed These Girls? and it reinvigorated my interest in the case. I will do my best to do it justice, and next week, I may even have a special guest to discuss the case. December 6, 1991, started like most days in Austin, Texas, for Sarah and Jennifer Harbison. They prepared for school, packed their book bags, and headed off for the day. It was an overcast day for the city, with temperatures maxing out around 72. It was an excellent Texas Friday. Austin, Texas, in 1991, was coming into its own as a nationally known place where creativity can thrive. Austin is not only the capital of Texas but also holds the title of Live Music Capital of the World. In 1994, the city created the Austin Film Festival, and filmmakers and actors such as Mike Judge, Richard Linklater, and Matthew McConaughey call Austin home. Learn more about your ad choices.
