There was much desperation, I think, in trying to find who the killers were.

There was posters, there was rewards.

You'd see the posters of the girls on the billboards.

There was a huge effort to try and solve the crime.

We know all there is to know, you know, about the, you know, about the crime itself.

Despite all efforts, there are no major breakthroughs, and more importantly, there are no arrests.

In the late 1990s, there was a new effort to try to solve this crime.

Investigators dust off the old files.

They take a new, fresh look at the evidence and wind up going all the way back to square one.

33 boxes of evidence and videotapes and audiotapes and things.

The police were drawn to the fact that these four original suspects, Maurice Pierce, Forrest Wellborn, Michael Scott, and Robert Springsteen, were all involved in this.

They bring in Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen for interviews and interrogations.

They were interviewed over and over and over again.

Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen were subjected to 18 hours and five hours of interviews, respectively.

Michael Scott indicates that he and the other three boys were in fact involved in these horrific murders.

He said that Maurice Pierce was something of the ringleader of the crime, Forrest Wellborn was the lookout, and that he and Robert Springsteen were the primary offenders in terms of killing the young victims and robbing the store.

Boris Welburn and Maurice Pierce never confess to the crime.

In fact, they say emphatically they had nothing to do with the Yogurt Shop murders.

After hours of unrelenting interviews, Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen confess to these murders.

Robert Springsteen, when he confessed, the last step of breed interrogation is that you have them write the confession and sign it.
