At around 10.45am on Saturday February 2nd 2008, a gunman entered through the backdoor of the Lane Bryant clothes store in the Brookside Marketplace in Illinois. The five victims who were at the store that day were, 22-year-old Sarah Szafranski, 33-year-old Carrie Chiuso, 34-year-old Jennifer Bishop, 37-year-old Connie Woolfolk and store manager, 42-year-old Rhonda McFarland.  Carrie, Sarah, Connie and Jennifer were customers who had gone into Lane Bryant for a day of shopping.

That day, Carrie had called her husband to let him know that she was headed into the store to buy a shawl. Sadly, this is the last time he’d ever hear his wife’s voice again.

There was another worker there that day who was at the store part-time. Her name has not been released so she will be referred to as ‘Jane’.

It is believed that it is possible that the perpetrator had posed as a delivery driver. The perpetrator then exchanged conversation with more than one of the victims before announcing that he was committing a robbery.  
The perpetrator took Sarah, Carrie, Jennifer, Connie, Rhonda and Jane into the back of the store where he bound them with duct tape and shot them execution style.   
Although the exact victim’s name has not been released, it is believed that one of the women was sexually assaulted by the perpetrator.   
Jane jolted her head slightly as she was being shot, causing her neck to be grazed by the bullet. Jane survived as a result. The other women died.

The police had received an emergency call at around the time that the shootings were believed to have taken place.   
The gunman quickly left the immediate area. 

Police have never openly stated how much/what was taken from the scene.

A $55,000 reward was put out to anyone who could identify the perpetrator. 

The Lane Bryant store was remodeled into a TJ Maxx six years after the murders.

The murders remain unsolved to this day.

"It's just surreal," Tony, Carrie’s husband, said. "It's like living a bad dream."

"She made me want to be a better person," he said. "I'm just lost."
