‘The Yogurt Shop Murders: The Final Chapter’ Trailer – Episode of HBO Docuseries Chronicles Major Break in Case

Here is the official trailer for the fifth and final episode, titled “The End of Wondering,” of the HBO documentary series The Yogurt Shop Murders.

The docuseries explored the tragic murder of four teenage girls at an I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt shop on December 6, 1991, in Austin, Texas.

Featured in the series are cold case detective Dan Jackson; Austin Police Department lead investigator (1991-1994) John Jones; Austin Police Department lead investigator (1997-2002) Paul Johnson; genetic genealogist CeCe Moore; filmmaker Claire Huie; falsely accused suspect Forrest Welborn; widow and daughter of falsely accused suspect Maurice Pierce, along with all four girls’ families.

Directed by Margaret Brown (Descendant), the episode airs Friday, May 22 (9:00-10:35 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and HBO Max. The first four episodes of the series are currently available to stream on HBO Max.

Episode five, “The End of Wondering,” chronicles the months after the documentary series The Yogurt Shop Murders debuted in August 2025, when the Austin Police Department (APD) suddenly convened a press conference to announce a break in the 34-year-old case, only three weeks after the show concluded. In the conference, APD cold case detective Dan Jackson reveals the behind-the-scenes details of the painstaking work that he and other investigators used in tracking down the killer of four teenage girls in Austin, Texas, in 1991. When the murderer’s identity is uncovered and verified through new DNA technology, it reveals the unexpected connection to a serial killer whose crimes stretched across numerous states in the ‘90s. The resolution offers some relief to the family members while also allowing the falsely accused men from the original investigation an opportunity to finally seek exoneration.

Through intimate conversations with victims’ families and detectives, along with new interviews with Forrest Welborn, who was falsely accused, the widow and daughter of fellow wrongfully accused Maurice Pierce, and, in a rare perspective, the daughter of the perpetrator, the story unfolds from multiple angles. It also examines Austin’s broader community, including those reluctant to let go of long‑held beliefs, exploring the lasting impact of trauma and whether true closure is possible. The episode looks at what it’s like to finally uncover answers after years of uncertainty, and the psychological impact that follows.
