Summary

In 2008, a man disguised as a delivery driver walked into a Lane Bryant store just outside Chicago, forced six women into the back room, bound them with duct tape, and shot them in cold blood, ultimately killing five women and sparing just one by sheer luck. Seventeen years later, the case remains unsolved. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the haunting details of the Lane Bryant massacre, including the first national interview with the paramedic who walked into that crime scene and has carried the weight of it ever since. Filmmaker Charlie Minn also shares insight from his upcoming documentary on the Tinley Park 5.
