The Yogurt Shop Murders



Episode 41: The Yogurt Shop Murders

On Friday night, December 6, 1991, a heinous crime was committed in the I Can’t Believe Its Yogurt shop in Austin, Texas, located in a small strip mall near the Northcross Mall.

Prince Ali had everything: talent, charisma, and a devoted best friend, Becky Howard. He won every time he set a hoof in a show ring. He garnered more fans from personal and TV appearances. Becky was with him every step of the way, even riding him in the Swallows Day Parade in their hometown, San Juan Capistrano. Disaster struck when two thugs put Becky in a coma, drugged him and dragged Prince Ali off to sell for diabolical purposes. When their buyer realized who Ali was, he nixed the deal. That landed the pampered show horse high in the mountains in late March. One night, a week later, he discovered the corral gate unlatched. Prince Ali mustered every ounce of strength, courage, and stamina he had to walk into the wilderness, searching for the best friend he couldn’t live without.

The Mystery of The Way to Go, Nassau, Buster Brown



Episode 23: The Mystery of The Way to Go, Nassau, Buster Brown

This is the story of a gorgeous Thoroughbred horse. If he could talk, it would be interesting to listen to him talk about the many miles he put on American roads and highways. We know he crossed the entire continent twice and went halfway one additional time.
