DNA证据确认1991年奥斯汀酸奶店谋杀案嫌疑人
摘要
随着DNA检测技术的进步，奥斯汀警方确认罗伯特·尤金·布拉舍斯为1991年四名少女谋杀案的嫌疑人。
奥斯汀警方确认罗伯特·尤金·布拉舍斯为1991年在“一家我简直不敢相信是酸奶店！”发生的四名少女谋杀案的嫌疑人。布拉舍斯于1999年在密苏里州与警方对峙期间自杀身亡，之前曾与多起暴力犯罪有关，包括跨州的强奸和谋杀案件。
受害者分别是13岁的艾米·艾尔斯、17岁的伊丽莎·托马斯，以及17岁和15岁的姐妹詹妮弗和莎拉·哈比森。她们被发现时被绑住、堵住嘴巴，头部中枪，尸体在酸奶店内，店铺随后被纵火焚烧。该案件数十年来一直未破，之前的定罪因缺乏物证及2009年出现的无罪DNA证据而被推翻。
奥斯汀警察局表示案件仍在侦办中，并计划召开新闻发布会详细说明调查结果。
