The Unsolved Tinley Park Massacre: Lane Bryant Murders & The Killer Still at Large

The Lane Bryant Massacre

• 🎯 On February 2nd, 2008, a man disguised as a delivery driver entered a Lane Bryant store near Chicago.
• 🔒 He forced six women—two shoppers, a store clerk, and the manager—into the back room, binding them with duct tape.
• 💥 Two more shoppers entered the store and were also subjected to the same treatment.
• 🔪 The gunman then proceeded to shoot all six women execution-style in the head.

A Sole Survivor and Lingering Clues

• 💔 Five women tragically died from their wounds, but one clerk survived when a bullet grazed her neck after she moved at the last moment.
• 📞 The store manager managed to discreetly call 911, providing the only significant clues: her description of the suspect and his voice on the call.
• 🕵️ Seventeen years later, the killer, described as an African-American male, 5'9"-6' tall with a stocky build and wearing a black ski cap with braids, remains at large.
