Decade-old case may be nearin^C
AUSTIN (AP) — Authorities yes
terday arrested a man in West Vir
ginia and another near Dallas in one
of Texas’ most notorious unsolved
murders of the decade, the killing of
four teen-age girls at an Austin yo
gurt shop eight years ago.
On Dec. 6, 1991, the four girls
were shot in the head at the I Can’t
Believe It’s Yogurt! shop where two
of them worked. The store then
was set on fire in a crime that hor
rified the community because of its
random brutality and the youth of
the victims.
Austin police refused to comment
on yesterday’s arrests, or on broad
cast reports that two other men had
been arrested in the Austin area.
They scheduled a mid-afternoon an
nouncement about the case.
The four victims were Eliza
Hope Thomas, 17; Amy Ayers, 13;
Jennifer Harbison, 17 and Sarah
Harbison, 15, Jennifer’s sister.
In Charleston W.Va., police Maj.
Pat Epperhart said Robert Bums
Springsteen Jr, 24, was arrested yes
terday morning at a home in the city.
Springsteen was charged in Texas
with capital murder in the deaths of
the four girls during a robbery.
Charleston police said.

DALLAS (AP) — Republican
presidential hopeful Pat
Buchanan met with Reform Party
Chair Russell Vemey yesterday to
discuss his possible defection to
seek the third party’s nomination.
“Russ’s folks have been very
supportive of me,” Buchanan
said at a book-signing that fol
lowed the hourlong meeting.
“He indicated receptivity to our
candidacy. ... We have not
made our decision.”
Verney said he explained the
party’s state-by-state nominating
process over lunch.
“He (Buchanan) has got a
huge decision in front of him,”
Verney said. “The fact he has to
weigh is: Will his supporters and
contributors stay with him if he
leaves the Republican Party."
DALLAS (AP) — Authorities
have dropped a child abandon
ment charge against a woman de
spite suspicions that she locked
her mentally retarded son inside
her car to prevent repossession of
the vehicle.
Tow truck operators said they
were about to haul the woman’s
1993 Ford Thunderbird away from
her home Monday when they
spotted the 15-year-old boy in the
back seat.
Thick operator Thomas Field said
he tried to convince the boy to un
lock the doors, but the boy appar
ently did not understand him.
“He just laughed,” Field told
The Dallas Morning News. “ He had
no idea what was going on.”
The woman has denied the
charges, saying she left the boy in
the car for a few minutes to run into
her house and grab her checkbook.
But Field said he knocked on the
woman’s door and she did not an
