‘The Yogurt Shop Murders’ Director Talks Racing To Get Cameras Rolling Again After Austin Detectives Finally Solved 34-Year-Old Cold Case

Article excerpt

Filmmaker Margaret Brown was deep into post-production on 'The Yogurt Shop Murders,' her HBO docuseries about a 1991 quadruple homicide in Austin, Texas, when Austin detectives unexpectedly solved the 34-year-old cold case just weeks after the final episode aired. The four-part series, which premiered last summer, had revisited the brutal crime and its decades-long investigation. Brown found herself in the unusual position of having to race back into production to capture the breakthrough and its aftermath on camera, turning what was meant to be a closed documentary into an unfolding investigation story.
