One of the most infamous cold cases in the true crime community has long been the Austin Yogurt Shop murders, a quadruple homicide in Austin, Texas in December 1991. Jennifer and Sarah Harbison, Eliza Thomas, and Amy Ayers were brutally killed inside an I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt! before the perpetrator set fire to the crime scene. Unfortunately, the case went cold, and despite an eventual conviction of four young men, the case remained unsolved until 2025, when genetic genealogy identified the true killer. We are revisiting the case now that it has been solved and in part 1, we will discuss the background, the crime, and the initial investigation.

Four year old Nyleen Kay Marshall disappeared on June 25, 1983, in Helena National Forest near Clancy, Montana. She was attending a picnic with her family and playing with other children near a creek. Nyleen was last seen talking to an unidentified man wearing a jogging suit when she seemingly vanished within minutes. Authorities conducted a massive search involving thousands of volunteers, helicopters, and tracking dogs, but no trace of her was ever found. Two years later, an anonymous man sent letters and made phone calls claiming he had abducted Nyleen and was raising her, though investigators were never able to identify him or confirm the claims. The case remains unsolved and is still considered a non-family abduction.

Anyone with information about Nyleen’s case is asked to call Jefferson County Sheriff's Office 406-225-4075 or The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 reference # 601812.

Dana Ireland was on vacation in Hawaii in December 1991 when she was struck by a car while riding her bike. She was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and left for dead, and she died from her injuries on Christmas Day. After going cold, her case was eventually “solved” with three suspects being indicted, charged, and convicted. But the evidence against them was shaky at best, and after years of fighting their convictions, they were exonerated in 2023… only for the real killer to be identified through advanced DNA testing the next year.

On April 16, 1990, brothers Basil (8) and Jamal (7) Abdul’Faruq were dropped off at their mother’s apartment in Richmond, Virginia. Around 2:30 p.m. they went outside to play while their mother slept after a night shift. When she woke and couldn’t find them, she looked for 45 minutes before calling the police. A search of the apartment complex and nearby woods found nothing. Three days later, on April 19, a worker at the Shoosmith landfill in Chesterfield County found a body. One child is deceased, the other is still missing. No suspects have been publicly named, and no arrests have been made. The case is active and unsolved in both Richmond and Chesterfield County. Investigators have not determined who took the boys, how they were transported, or why one boy was killed and the other kidnapped but they believe it’s possible the other brother is still alive…

In 2006, an unprecedented resource was created to allow the public to identify and access data about sex offenders nationwide. The Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website, or NSOPW, was signed into law in 2006 as a result of “Dru’s Law” – legislation created after 22 year old Dru Sjodin was kidnapped and murdered by a serial rapist who had been released from prison despite being classified as a Level 3 sex offender – meaning he was likely to reoffend. Dru’s death led to this resource being created, establishing a safer world for many.

The Lainz Angels of Death were four Austrian nurse’s aides—Waltraud Wagner, Maria Gruber, Irene Leidolf, and Stephanija Meyer—who worked at Lainz General Hospital in the 1980s. From 1983-1989 they killed at least 15 patients while pretending to care for them. Their methods later included forcing water into patients’ lungs or overdosing them on medications to make their deaths look natural. In 1991 their reign of terror came to an end and all 4 women were sent to prison. While they maintained that the murders were mercy killings, many believe these women were sick and evil. The Lainz Angels of Death case remains a chilling example of medical murder and failures in oversight.
