On February 2, 2008, a man walked into a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois claiming he had a delivery.

It was a lie.

Within minutes, six women were forced into a back room. Over the next forty minutes, something happened inside that store that investigators still cannot fully explain. Five women were executed. One survived by playing dead after a bullet meant for her skull grazed her neck.

The killer vanished just two minutes before police arrived.

Eighteen years later, the Lane Bryant Massacre remains unsolved.

In this episode, we break down what happened inside that store, why this likely was never about money, how the suspect escaped so cleanly, and why a man with cornrows and four light-green beads in his hair has never been identified.
