Right now In true crime: Donna Adelson update, Diddy sentencing. 

In 1991, 4 girls lost their lives at a yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. The case has had many twists and turns including false confessions and 2 men even being arrested and convicted with the murders. They were later released once DNA excluded them. Now in 2025 investigators have named their suspect, Robert Eugene Brashers. In this episode I discuss the press conference and how they came to discover Robert Brashers was responsible and also discuss his other crimes. Rest in peace to Sarah Harbison, Jennifer Harbison, Eliza Thomas and Amy Ayres.

Obsession is a word that we often use to describe something we really, really like. By definition, obsession is an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind.

On December 27, 2010, a 13 year old girl of Mitchell County, Texas disappeared. She was last seen leaving her mother’s house to go hang out with a friend. But she never showed up. It wouldn’t be until March 16, 2013 Hailey’s remains were recovered. 8 years later, a man by the name of Shawn Casey Adkins would be arrested for her murder, who at the time of the disappearance had been dating her mother. He was given a prison sentence but recently on June 26, 2023, Shawn Adkins was released due to lack of evidence.
Her death would shake Mitchell County and leave her family heartbroken and desperate for answers. So what happened to her? And will there ever be justice? This is the story of the case of Hailey Dunn.
