The Double-Murder Austin Forgot

The Double-Murder Austin Forgot

On January 8, 1969, two University of Texas students were brutally murdered and the city of Austin barely noticed. Amid the nation’s first modern mass shooting, political violence littering the end of the decade, and the escalating Vietnam War, this shocking crime slipped through the cracks. But why was such a violent act erased from public memory? Host Nikki DeVaughn sits down with Texas Monthly contributor Stephen Harrigan to investigate the forgotten murder, explore why it remained hidden for decades, and uncover the story Austin never knew it had.
