He's manipulative, he's smart, but he is sadistic.
Authorities have already linked Robert Eugene Brashears to a trail of crime across the Southeast, but many questions remain, including how he came to choose the yogurt shop and those victims.
Was there a reason he was in Austin, or was it a spontaneous sidetrack from his original destination?
Authorities do a search of Brashear's name in a criminal database and discover that his name had been in the federal files for decades.
Brashear's was stopped a little less than 48 hours after the murders at a Border Patrol checkpoint near Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Border Patrol had the wherewithal to think, this guy is just not acting right, and to pull him over.
The Border Patrol agent, he had a Brashear step out of the truck, and he reached in to get the registration, see whose truck it was, and he saw a gun.
Somehow, Brashear gets in the truck and takes off.
This area is in the middle of the desert, so it's pitch black out there.
And then just stops, gets out, puts his hands up, gives up.
He was driving a stolen car, and he was in possession of a 380.
So we can put him basically getting the hell out of the state right after Yogurt Shop murders occurred.
We believe Brashear threw out the .22 and any, possibly any other evidence he had kept from Yogurt Shop out the window when he was driving for a mile in the dark.
Remember, all four girls in the Yogurt Shop had been shot with a .22 caliber pistol.
