Hi, park enthusiasts, it's Delia. Some of you might also know me from my other show, Countercloc, where I spend a lot of time digging into cases that don't have clear answers. If you've been here with me on Park Predators, you know how often we come back to the same question. What was missed? That's exactly what happened here. When Ashley Flowers' host of Crime Junkie first brought this case to me, it was meant to be

a single episode of Crime Junkie, just one story. But then more tips started coming in, more questions, more loose ends. And it became pretty clear, at least to me, that it didn't stop there. So I kept going. This season on counterclock, I'm investigating the Lane Bryant murders. In 2008, five women were killed inside a store at 10 a.m. There was potential DNA evidence, a detailed composite sketch. Even the suspect's voice was captured during a 911 call.

And still, no one has been identified. So you start to ask, how does a case with that much information go unsolved? Was something overlooked, misinterpreted? Is there someone out there who knows more than they've ever said? I've spent the last year going back through evidence, timelines, witness accounts, talking with people directly connected to the case, and others who have never spoken publicly before. Because at a certain point, it stops feeling like an unsolved case.

It starts to feel like we're missing something. completely. If you've listened to Park Predators, you know I don't like leaving questions unanswered. So follow along as I investigate the Lane Bryant murders and listen to the Counterclock Season 8 trailer now. And when you're done, you can listen to all eight episodes on the counterclock feed. It started out as just another day in a popular clothing store, but it ended in a bloody massacre. A deadly shooting rampage at upscale Lane Bryant ladies clothing store. Six women gunned down execution style. The February 2008 Lane Bryant homicides in Tinley Park, Illinois, are a notorious case that for nearly two decades have looked like one type of crime,

but might just be something much, much bigger. It was like a big jigsaw puzzle and most of the pieces were upside down. For the last year, I've been heads down trying to turn every puzzle piece in this complicated case right side up. The search continues for the gunman. We, in those early days, did not know somebody had survived. We were worried about her safety. What if this guy has her information? It has all of our information.

This season on counterclock. We're going inside a law enforcement investigation that has been locked behind closed doors for years. None of it made sense. The timing, the target, the victims, and the length of time that he stayed in the storm. What were you doing in there for 40 minutes? The further and further I dug into this crime, the stranger things God. My reporting led me to some unexpected places, a church in crisis, a dilapidated mental health center, a notorious street gang, and another violent shooting. Are you familiar with quit pro quo? When you shoot somebody execution style, you've done it before.

A lot of things go down because of money. Maybe it was an inside job. People use church to do their devilish ways. Buckle up, because this story is anything but straightforward. All of a sudden I see the police come, like, filling the neighborhood and coming up my driveway. Most crimes I see that's 10,000. This was 100,000. Who does not say anything for 100,000?

when we first met and you provided me with this information, I mean, my jaw dropped. I was like, oh, my goodness. Thank God you're investigative journalism. Binge Counterclock Season 8 right now, wherever you get your podcasts.
