This case is especially close to us as Mike's sister was originally scheduled to work on the day of this massacre. We'll tell you all the details.
On a freezing February morning in 2008, five women were executed in the back room of a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois. A sixth survived by pretending to be dead. The man responsible walked in without a mask, stayed for nearly an hour, and left behind duct tape, trauma, and almost no evidence. Seventeen years later, despite a witness and a police response within minutes, he’s still unidentified. Allison tells us the rest of the story that changed one Chicago suburb forever—and how a twist of fate saved someone very close to our family.Support us and become a Patron! Over 150 bonus episodes:

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
