The DNA evidence is apparently slam dunk definitive. This guy's past crimes and the manner in which he committed them alone are consistent with the details of the Yogurt Shop murders.
I've followed this case closely since it happened and remember very well the publicity around the unsolved nature of the crime in the early/mid-90s, just like I remember the day the news broke that they had arrested four suspects in connection with the crime back in 1998 or whatever year it was. That was HUGE news but when the details started to eventually come out about the suspects, much of it from the dogged reporting in the Austin Chronicle and AAS, I was always skeptical at best about the dipshit teens cast as murderers. Especially after what happened with the Nancy DePriest murder case and the eventual exoneration of Richard Danziger and Christopher Ochoa. If the same crooked detective was involved in the initial interrogation, I knew that the cops could not be trusted that they had the right guys. They may have brought in new detectives but those mfers were using the same tactics as Ochoa. It was clear to me back then and there are a lot of law enforcement officials with rotten eggs on their faces this morning. I'd like the local reporters to stick a camera in Paul Johnson's face so we can hear him embarrass himself one more time with protestations that he had the right guys all along.
TLDR version: I'm first in line when it comes to distrusting anything that comes out of APD's offices, but the changing of the guard means the current eyes on the case aren't solely fixed on Springsteen as Scott as the killers who got off. The DNA doesn't lie and if it's a rock solid match as being reported, this is the guy.
I can't believe this case is finally coming to a close. It's one of those lines of demarcation between the old Austin and the Austin of today. It was such a huge story that went on for sooo long and then all these hip hot young'ns moving here, the asshole billionaires and techbros, social media influencers, life marching on, and before we knew it those girls were mostly unknown to the New Austin but never forgotten by the old one.
