The Lane Bryant Massacre | The Grimes Files

On February 2nd, 2008, a man posing as a delivery driver walked into a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois. Over the next thirty-six minutes, six women were bound with duct tape and held inside the store before five were executed just moments before police arrived.

The killer vanished almost immediately.

Nearly two decades later, the case remains unsolved.

In this episode of The Grimes Files, Joey Grimes reconstructs the timeline of the Lane Bryant massacre minute by minute — examining the whispered 911 call, the suspect’s strange behavior, the disturbing psychological elements of the crime, the suspicious vehicles seen outside the shopping center, and the growing questions surrounding whether this was ever truly “just a robbery.”

This episode contains real 911 audio and discussion of violence, sexual assault, and homicide. Listener discretion is advised.

The victims:

• Rhoda McFarland 

• Carrie Chiuso 

• Connie Woolfolk 

• Sarah Szafranski 

• Jennifer Bishop 

The sole survivor of the attack is still living with the aftermath of what happened inside that store that morning.
