On March 12th, 2011 at a Lululemon store in Bethesda Maryland store manager Rachel Oertli was set to open the store that morning. When she arrived at the store, she noticed the door was unlocked and there was merchandise spread across the store, not wanting to go in alone she had a bystander enter with her where they would discover worker Jayna Murray dead and Brittany Norwood injured and tied up. Was this a robbery or were there other motives behind this crime.
