Not that I know of. Frierson was never considered a suspect. I just saw some similarities and mentioned them on this forum then realized he was likely in jail at the time.

Watched this segment on YouTube- a few more clues- AMW went to a video enhancement center which showed there was a black SUV parked outside before the murder- and another car that left shortly after. This to me suggests to me the possibility that the unknown killer had an accomplice. (Or he switched cars). The SUV was believed to be a foreign make- it's license plate was on the left side of the car. Also- one thing that should be mentioned is the 911 call has the unknown suspect's voice on it- I can't figure out how to post it but the link on the Tinley Park site is here: il-tinleypark.civicplus.com/index.aspx?NID=249 The voice can also be listened to at the toll free number 1-866-853-6222. To me it sounds like I heard "sit up". Others have claimed to hear him say "I'm losing it." But it's obviously open for interpretation. |

Figured I should at least mention I discovered initially police investigated if there could be a link to the victims and discovered Rhoda MacFarland, the store manager who was one of the victims, belonged to a church where the main Pastor was suspected of engaging in shady real estate deals. The church "decided" to move to Austin, Texas. Another message board (Websleuths) mentions someone suggesting the Pastor should be investigated on a news story comments section. The user posted a day before the Lane Bryant homicides occurred, and never posted again. In my opinion this is still a robbery- or a robbery gone awry for a few reasons- -Rhonda was the person on the 911 call. She never mentioned anything about knowing the suspect. -The suspect says "I'm losing it" suggesting that he was losing patience. Not that he was there initially to commit a homicide. -Six years later, police don't mention this lead anymore, suggesting they feel it's a dead end. However, for the purposes of discussion, I figure I should mention this lead as well. articles.southbendtribune.com/2008-08-02/news/26876806_1_associate-pastor-new-church-splintered-churchwww.websleuths.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-59699-p-2.html |

What I find interesting is it says company officials weren't aware of the slayings. I wonder if this means there was no disclosure law or anything like that. I personally think a similar store may be too close to home (for example, in the 1990's there was a mass murder of workers at a Queens Wendy's and the store was torn down and replaced by a bank and a few small stores rather than another fast food joint. Another Wendy's or Fast Food would not have felt right). But it is nice to see the charity donation and moment of silence. The McDonalds in San Ysidro CA where James Huberty killed 21 people in 1984 was torn down with McDonalds donating the property to the city and having a memorial plaque placed at the location. Another McDonalds building was built at a close location away from the property.

Sadly it's now been 10 years since the Lane Bryant murders. However, there does seem to be an iota of hope according to the Tinley Park police chief. He states that he has "a lot of pieces to the puzzle" already but still needs the public's help for the final piece. Whatever he does know hasn't been made public, but that's probably just to not jeopardize the investigation. patch.com/illinois/tinleypark/lane-bryant-murders-last-piece-cases-puzzle-needed-cops-say |

Can't believe this case is still unsolved! This doesn't strike me as someone that would've left the country are that would have stopped committing crimes. Not sure if there are finger prints or DNA so maybe there's a chance he's imprisoned for another crime.
The distinct one loose braid with beads, if worn purposefully in such a manner and not as a result of having come undone, I've never saw before. It's rather effeminate, androgynous, eccentric.

After reading the posted Reddit thread about the case and seeing, being reminded there's DNA, the heinousness and little progress of case make it a perfect candidate, albeit a long shot, for a Genealogy DNA search hit.

The True Crime Garage podcast on the Lane Bryant murders. Nick and The Captain discuss the crime and offer an interesting theory that the killer with the cornrows whose voice on tape might be a female.

The intense manhunt for the Lane Bryant killer did lead to a sighting and unrelated arrest of an AMW fugitive, identity thief Esther Reed, in the same city in 2008.

Okay, wow. I took another good look at the different sketch profiles of the killer, and I can see the possible resemblance to a woman. This would explain why this case has remained unsolved for the past decade. If everyone is looking for a man, but the killer is in fact a woman, the name probably wouldn't have come up so far at all in the investigation. |

Or a transgendered suspect perhaps. Maybe a previous shopper at that store or in another store location in the chain to be familiar with the store layout and employee procedures.
Not sure if the 911 phone recording released to the public was played at the right normal speed or speeded up or if the wear on the tape might have altered the speaking voices on the tape. "The Killer as a female" theory might be in question but it is interesting to consider.
