Deborah Brashers grew up loving her dad...until she learned he was a serial killer. In Chapter 7, “A Daughter’s Reckoning,” Deborah tells Kathy Sweeney what it’s like to lose your childhood memories to a brutal timeline of crimes, and why she only speaks about her father when she’s asked. The conversation returns to the spotlight as authorities and media revisit Robert Brashers’ past, including attention tied to the 1991 Austin Yogurt Shop murders.
The hunt began in a small Missouri town. Chasing a Ghost: Robert Brashers follows how new DNA testing and relentless police work identified Robert Brashers as a serial killer responsible for murders across four states - Missouri, Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky. New reporting, family voices, and investigators on the case.
