The Welcome to Grusome, your horrific true crime podcast. I am Meg. This is episode. Did I say that weird? No. Okay, I'm sorry. I am mega. This is episode 51. Connie Mall Madness Champion 1999 is going to tell us all about the Lane Bryant murders.

When Megan told me, you're just going through the stores.

I was like, you know, I always have a method to my madness

and I did not realize that, but now that you mention it indeed

and you just you like shopping that's okay and I think it's like the idea of crimes that just happen in very public places like that.

It is so fascinating to me.

It's crazy.

When I worked for a skate shop in the mall, there's only really one, so you guess which one.

But at that time, we had another store on the East Coast,

and one of the girls' ex-boyfriends went in there

and shot both of them.

Like both of the people working, she was a manager,

and she had an employee working.

And it was crazy. Like the whole company was just, they reeled. It was like, what, how could that happen?

How? It's just it's awful and honestly I feel like in America like

mass shootings have become become something we see it's almost like monthly.

Yeah, it's more than monthly.

Yeah, I see one at least once a week.

Yeah.

And like, you hear the stories stories you're traumatized, you're polarized with fear and it's like for a period of time you're just like kind of living this panic world where it's like anticipating where it's going to happen next.

Am I going to be in public when this happens?

Like, it was like a Kroger last week.
