This case is especially close to us as Mike's sister was originally scheduled to work on the day of this massacre. We'll tell you all the details.
On a freezing February morning in 2008, five women were executed in the back room of a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois. A sixth survived by pretending to be dead. The man responsible walked in without a mask, stayed for nearly an hour, and left behind duct tape, trauma, and almost no evidence. Seventeen years later, despite a witness and a police response within minutes, he’s still unidentified. Allison tells us the rest of the story that changed one Chicago suburb forever—and how a twist of fate saved someone very close to our family.Support us and become a Patron! Over 150 bonus episodes:

Oh, that was nice of him. How would a nice guy. He's so sweet. He's a decent guy, Mike. Yeah. And that's my TikTok handle, by the way. And so many of the followers came there.
