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.

Robert Springsteen refused to sign it.

He immediately takes it back.

Michael Scott takes it back.

But he goes ahead and signs his.

Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott confessed.

So they charged the two of them with four counts of capital murder.
