When the Texas Roadhouse off the I-35 Service Road in Austin opened in 2004, it was the first (and only) franchise to be co-owned by the singer himself. Before folks even cross the restaurant's threshold, the South Austin Texas Roadhouse proudly displays signage indicating Nelson's ownership. Above the front door, the glass window is printed with the words "Willie Nelson - Owner," so music-loving epicures know they're in the right place.

Austin police revealed Friday that Robert Eugene Brashers had been identified as a suspect in the murders through a wide range of DNA testing. Brashers, who had a lengthy criminal history, died by suicide in 1999 at age 40 during a standoff with police in Missouri. The Austin police's announcement follows August's release of a widely watched HBO docuseries that was based on the quadruple homicide and garnered renewed attention to the case.
