¶ The Unsolved Lane Bryant Murders
It started out as just another day in a popular clothing store, but it ended in a bloody massacre.
A deadly shooting rampage at upscale Lane Bryant Ladies Clothing Store. Six women gun down execution style.
The February 2008 Lane Bryant homicides in Tinley Park, Illinois are a notorious case that for nearly two decades have looked like one type of crime, but might just be something much, much bigger.
It was like a big jigsaw puzzle and most of the pieces were upside down.
For the last year, I've been heads down trying to turn every puzzle piece in this complicated case right side up.
The search continues for the gunman. We in those early days did not know somebody had survived. We were worried about her safety.
What if this guy has her information and has all of our information?
This season on Counterclock. We're going inside a law enforcement investigation that has been locked behind closed doors for years.
None of it made sense.
Timing.
What were you doing in there for forty minutes?
The further and further I dug into this crime, the stranger things got. My reporting led me to some unexpected places. A church in crisis, a dilapidated mental health center, a notorious street gang. And another violent shooting.
Are you familiar with Quid Pro Quo?
When you shoot somebody execution style, you've done it before.
A lot of things go down because of money.
Maybe it was an inside job.
People use church to do their devilish ways.
Бакала! Because this story is anything but straightforward.
All of a sudden I see the police come like filling the neighborhood and coming up my driveway.
Hey, we got a cop man shot out in front of my house. Major shootout. Follow me here, man. There's some going on. Stand on.
Most crimes I see it's ten thousand. This was a hundred thousand. Who does not say anything for a hundred thousand?
When we first met and you provided me with this information I mean my jaw dropped. I was like, Oh my goodness. Thank God you're investigative journalist.
