I'm looking forward to seeing this documentary but also disappointed that the TP police would not participate. I'm not sure what they have to lose after 18 years of no activity. I hope there is a good reason and someday they will shock us all with some major break in the case, but I have no...

I think the accomplice/getaway driver was there all along but was staging away from the store at first. Maybe they thought it would look suspicious to have a vehicle sitting in front of the store for an extended period of time. And maybe by staying farther back he could see the parking lot...

I agree, very coincidental that of all places in the USA that she could have been on 2/2/08, she was in Tinley Park, IL. I know there have been some very strange coincidences over the years in other cases that turned out to be just that, a coincidence, but this one is very fishy to me, and she...

There was definitely something more than a robbery going on. I believe 100% that the SUV that pulled up at 10:39 was an accomplice and they were going to do something. A theory I have not seen mentioned before but were they planning on taking one of the hostages with them and he was just...

It's nice to hear from somebody who was there that day and get some perspective on what the scene looked like. I look forward to much more of this when the documentary comes out. This case has been dormant for way too long.

1A Lane Bryant mass murder 1B Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre. These 2 cases have kept me up for many hours over the years.

I agree that they botched this and probably won't solve this, although there is a part of me that likes to think they are onto something and are just keeping quiet about it. I doubt that though and, in the end, it is the families that will probably never know who killed their loved ones and why.

I think we're just looking for some light to be shed on this case. It is 18 years old now and no resolution in sight. She could provide some info that could help solve the case. The information we received has aged alot and it is time for some fresh information, maybe some details we haven't...

I am convinced that the killer was a backseat passenger and got in on the driver side back seat and there were probably 2 other people in the front seat, possibly one being the "mastermind". I am also convinced the shooter was nothing more than a hired hand and did not know Liz.

After listening to Sergeant Ritchie and knowing what his clearance rate is and him being a veteran LEO, I took everything he said as gospel. I do believe that this person knew she would be off of work that day and would be home and they knew he would be going to work. They knew approximately...

I'm pretty confident that the driver of the vehicle that parked in front of the store either went in the store or called the shooter from the car, perhaps to tell him there was a cop in the parking lot and they needed to get out quickly. I believe that one of the victims were seriously injured...

We know there were shell casings left behind. There was no CCTV footage from inside the store or on the walkway outside the store. We know CCTV footage from Target caught 2 vehicles pulling up to the LB store at approximately 10:39 and both left abruptly around the time of 911 call.

The TP police have put us (the public) on a need-to-know basis for the last 18 years. They ask us for our help but do not provide us with anything to go on but a sketch that may be right and a snippet from a 911 call with a muffled voice. Why not give us a little more to go on. Are they afraid...

This could be part of the reason there is no arrest yet. What if she is not helping with investigation? What if they are waiting for her to make an ID or something like that. I would like to think she owes it to the 5 families who lost someone to help out. I don't know for sure that she isn't...

I'm hoping she could be a part of this documentary, even if she doesn't give her name or show her face. After all of these years I don't think there is much to lose now. She is the only one who really knows 100% of what happened. If nothing else, I hope this documentary starts to make people...
