AUSTIN (KXAN) -- After 34 years, a break in Austin's most infamous cold case led to the identification of the suspect believed to be linked to the Yogurt Shop Murders, whom police called a "serial killer."

The suspect was identified by officials as Robert Eugene Brashers, who is connected with several other violent crimes across the southeast U.S. He died by suicide in 1999.

Fighting a fire at an Austin yogurt shop turned into a homicide investigation when first responders found four bodies in the burning shop called "I Can't Believe It's Yogurt" in north Austin on Anderson Lane on Dec. 6, 1991.

The victims, all teenage girls, whose deaths rocked the community were 17-year-old Jennifer Harbison, her sister, 15-year-old Sarah, 17-year-old Eliza Thomas and 13-year-old Amy Ayers.
