Episode 20: The Lululemon Murder, Part 1
Hey there hi there ho there everybody! We are back in this brand new month of May to bring y'all an absolutely horrible case out of Bethesda, MD - the infamous Lululemon Murder. In 2011, Jayna Murray would be left for dead in the back of her workplace, the Lululemon store in Bethesda, and detectives were left with nowhere to start looking for a motive. Listen to this week's episode to hear all about this gruesome overkill.

When almost seventeen year old Karen Spencer went missing in late 1989, both investigators and Karen's loved ones were left with more questions than answers.
