- Correspondent Erin Moriarty looks at how advances in DNA technology might help solve one of the nation's most heartbreaking cold cases: The Yogurt Shop Murders in Austin, Texas. On Dec. 6, 1991, four teenager girls - 17-year-old Eliza Thomas, 13-year-old Amy Ayers, and two sisters, 17-year-old Jennifer Harbison and 15-year-old Sarah Harbison - were found gagged, tied up with their own clothing, and shot in the head in a yogurt shop, which was then set on fire. Eliza and Jennifer worked at the shop and were closing up for the night, and Sarah and Amy had met them there to head home together. Gunshot wounds revealed two different types of guns were used, but there was little other evidence at the scene, and the fire complicated the early investigation. The case is still unsolved.
- Glenn Patrick Bradford was once a proud Evansville, Indiana police officer. "There's no question I was exceptionally good at it," he says. "And it came naturally for me. And it was just like being right where you're supposed to be." But today, Bradford is in prison serving 80 years for murdering his girlfriend, Tammy Lohr at her home at 1106 South Boeke Road. In August 1992, she was stabbed repeatedly in her back and neck, before her body was set on fire in an arson case with deliberately-poured gasoline. Her poodle dog was also stabbed and killed. The crime rocked Evansville, Ind. Tammy, a 24-year-old civilian jailer, was attractive, energetic and popular. Bradford, who was married to another woman at the time, insists he had nothing to do with his girlfriend Tammy's murder. Susan Spencer reports on this tangled, tragic case.
- Martin "Marty" Tankleff was convicted in 1990 and sentenced to 50 years in prison in the 1988 murder of his parents, which occurred when he was just 17 years old. Tankleff was freed in 2007 at the age of 36 after an appeals court found key evidence in his trial was overlooked. No one else has ever been charged in the case.
