On the morning of February 2, 2008, a gunman entered a Lane Bryant clothing store in Tinley Park, Illinois, during business hours. He forced six women—store staff and customers—into a back room, restrained them, and then shot them at close range. Five women were killed: store manager **Rhoda McFarland (42)** and customers **Connie Woolfolk (37), Jennifer Bishop (34), Carrie Hudek Chiuso (33),** and **Sarah Szafranski (22)**; a sixth woman survived despite being shot. Investigators described the killer as an unidentified man who appeared to be committing a robbery but escalated to an execution-style attack; authorities have also said at least one victim was sexually assaulted. Despite a major investigation, a released suspect sketch, and continued public appeals—including renewed attention around the 18th anniversary—the case remains unsolved and a reward has remained available for information leading to an arrest.
