How to watch ‘The Yogurt Shop Murders’ on HBO and HBO Max

A new documentary series shedding new light on a still-unsolved 1991 quadruple homicide is heading to HBO and HBO Max.

“The Yogurt Shop Murders,” which will air over four weeks beginning tonight, Aug. 3, “explores law enforcement practices and raises complex questions about press coverage and the power of suggestion on memory,” per an HBO release.

The doc covers the brutal murders of four teenage girls in an Austin, Texas frozen yogurt shop in December 1991. Four teenage boys were questioned and arrested, with confessions obtained from two of the young men leading to convictions. New DNA evidence got them released on bond after serving nine years and charges were dropped.

News coverage and archival footage of the families and suspects will help “recognize the importance of storytelling to help in healing and explore the fragility and the resilience of the mind – in preserving memories, coping with loss, and remaining convinced of one’s own innocence.”

The new docuseries comes to HBO from A24 and Fruit Tree, the production company founded by Emma Stone and her husband, Dave McCary.
