Bizarre Cases of the missing and murdered

My apologies if this has been mentioned before but is anyone familiar with The Yogurt Shop Murders in Austin, TX in 1991? The short story is 4 young girls, 3 in HS & 1 in JH, were murdered & raped after closing for the evening. The place was then set on fire. No one has ever been convicted though there are been arrests over the years.

In 2017, the DNA of a potential family member was matched through a federal database but the feds won't give up the info.

There are always been rumors of a sex ring or the youngest (13) fucking around with an officer. My wife has recently gone down the rabbit hole which is why it's fresh in my mind.
 
At least 15 people were 'disappeared' by the IRA during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Some of them are still missing. The most recent search was for the remains of 19-year-old Columba McVeigh who was disappeared in 1975. A specialist forensic team spent five months in 2013 digging in a bog in County Monaghan, but found nothing. The film highlights the powerful story of the life and harrowing death of widow and mother-of-ten Jean McConville. She was dragged from the arms of her young children by an IRA gang in 1972, then shot and buried. Her body was finally recovered in 2003. Michael McConville explains how at 11 years of age he was tied up and beaten when he threatened to tell police about what had happened. His sister Agnes recalls the abuse they got from other children afterwards, before the siblings were shipped off to various orphanages. The IRA policy of disappearing victims dates back to 1972 when four people were taken from Belfast. It is said to have ended in 1981 after an order from the IRA's governing Army Council. A policy of lies and intimidation appears to have run in parallel with the policy of disappearing people. One family after another explain how they were virtually silenced by a climate of fear. They also had to cope with rumours claiming their loved one was alive and well. The evidence suggests these rumours were invented by the IRA to keep the families away from the truth. A forensic detective outlines the mechanics of the killings and burials. He tells how most of the victims were shot once in the back of the head and then dumped in shallow graves. In some cases the bodies were weighted down with stones in case they rose to the surface if the bog dried out. Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams is challenged about allegations that he ordered the disappearance of Jean McConville. Adams, today a member of the Irish parliament, is also probed about his knowledge of the fate of two IRA men who were disappeared in the same way that same year.
 
Missing 411: Hunted is on Amazon right now. Definitely worth a watch.

I fell down a rabbit hole after watching "Deadbug" cover this case on his "Lust Crimes Pt 4" youtube video.

A 9 year old girl is kidnapped and brutally murdered. The small time cops bungle the case after her body is found, mishandling evidence and then convincing the victim's family to change their own story to fit the cops "hunch" that the neighbor's son did the crime. (He was at work/heading home when the murder occured.) The neighbor is wrongly convicted after several trials, but DNA evidence frees him 3 years later.

According to Deadbug's video, the family went back to the crime scene and found more of her remains lying around as she had been gutted badly. The police dug her body back up to match the missing remains to the girl.

Oddly, almost all the articles I read online omit the little fact that her (adopted) brother admitted in court that he had been raping his sister with his friends since she was 2!

September 14, 1963. Bowmanville, Ontario. 13-year old Noreen Greenley leaves her best friend’s house and heads towards the bus stop, but never returns home. Shortly thereafter, one of Noreen’s sisters is nearly struck by a car and hears a female scream from inside, and it turns out the car matches the description of a vehicle seen near the bus stop minutes earlier. Five decades later, a tipster comes forward with an allegation that his deceased father confessed to killing Noreen and buried a car containing her body, but an excavation fails to turn up any evidence.

November 28, 1985. Tarrant County, Texas. The family of 44-year old Joe Blount gathers together for Thanksgiving dinner in their trailer at the Hilltop Mobile Home Park. After making a trip to a convenience store later that night, they return home to discover a briefcase on their front doorstep. When the briefcase is opened, a bomb goes off, claiming the lives of Joe, his 15-year old daughter, Angela, and Joe’s 18-year old nephew, Michael Columbus. Fourteen years later, a suspect named Michael Roy Toney is convicted of the bombing and sentenced to death, but it turns out the prosecution withheld evidence supporting Toney’s innocence at trial. As result, Toney’s conviction is overturned and he is released from prison in 2009. Who was actually responsible for planting the bomb which killed three members of the Blount family and what could their motive have been?
