Astrological Ramblings
This particular missing person’s case has always really bothered me….it strikes a chord, if you will. I’m not sure if it’s because she is my age, or because she’s a native Austinite, or maybe because it’s just really fucking tragic to have a loved one be missing for SUCH a long time (or maybe it’s a little of all of the above). Roxanne Paltauf went missing in Austin, Texas on July 7, 2006. The last time she was supposedly seen was around 830 pm that evening when she left the Budget Inn Motel off of Rundberg and IH-35 after a fight with her boyfriend. Anyone who is familiar with Austin is familiar with that area of town, and while it might be different NOW, back in 2006 it wasn’t the safest place (I’m not sure what the area is like now, truth be told; even though I still live in Austin, it’s been years since I’ve been around that area other than driving past on I-35). The story goes that she left the hotel WITHOUT any of her stuff and was never seen again. The boyfriend claims to have no idea where she went or what happened to her. The astrology below tells me that while he may not have actually been the one to hurt her, her certainly KNOWS more than he’s saying (such as where she went and who she went off with).

On December 6, 1991 in Austin, Texas, shortly before midnight a police officer on patrol noticed the “I Can’t Believe it’s Yogurt!” shop off of W. Anderson Lane going up in flames and called it in to the fire department, to which AFD arrived and put the fire out. Once the fire was out, AFD noticed that there was much more to all of this than just a run of the mill fire – they found the bodies of four females inside the shop. The victims were Amy Ayers (13 years old), Eliza Thomas (17 years old), and sisters Sarah Harbison (15 years old) & Jennifer Harbison (17 years old). All four had been shot execution style and piled on top of each other, though Amy’s body was found away from the other three – the bullet missed her brain (they found a second bullet wound in her head which the other girls were lacking) which seems to suggest that she moved herself from the pile. Eliza Thomas & Jennifer Harbison were employees of the yogurt shop, while Sarah Harbison and Amy Ayers were said to be visiting Sarah’s sister at work (and they were going to get a ride home with her). These murders have haunted the city of Austin for over 3 decades and have come to be known as the Yogurt Shop Murders. **If you are more of a watcher than a reader, here is a YouTube video about this case that I did with Brandy of […]
