Full Transcript for Case 210: Jayna Murray

iPad 2 at the Apple store next door, Jaina knew 69 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.339 it would be a busy evening with extra foot traffic 70 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.120 passing by. but she was only too happy to help. 71 00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:26.439 Jaina had been at the yoga store for two years 72 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:31.079 and loved working there. The muscular 5 foot 5 inch 73 00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:34.600 tall Jaina could be seen doing cartwheels and dancing with 74 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.519 customers during quieter shifts, bringing with her a sense of 75 00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:43.879 energy and joy wherever she went. Jaina arrived at the 76 00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:47.209 Lululemon store two hours early to catch up on some 77 00:06:47.269 --> 00:06:50.720 personal work She took a seat in the back of 78 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.899 the store, opened her laptop and put on some music. 79 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.240 Her boyfriend who lived in Seattle was coming to visit 80 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.480 her the following weekend and Jaina wanted to make sure 81 00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:07.500 all her university coursework was up to date. Intelligent and determined, 82 00:07:07.990 --> 00:07:11.509 Jaina was completing her thesis to graduate with a master's 83 00:07:11.529 --> 00:07:18.250 degree in business administration and communications. Jaina was so impressed 84 00:07:18.350 --> 00:07:22.170 by Lululemon's business model and philosophy that she jumped at 85 00:07:22.209 --> 00:07:24.930 the chance to use the company as the basis of 86 00:07:24.990 --> 00:07:30.829 her thesis. This included writing a crisis communication plan that 87 00:07:30.889 --> 00:07:34.920 Lululemon staff could implement in the event of an internal emergency. 88 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.800 The staff at the Lululemon headquarters in Vancouver, Canada were 89 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:46.050 thoroughly impressed with her plan. Once Jaina graduated, she hoped 90 00:07:46.149 --> 00:07:49.129 to move to Seattle with her boyfriend and then score 91 00:07:49.149 --> 00:07:55.139 a job at Lululemon headquarters. As Jaina worked on her laptop, 92 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.060 she was interrupted by her co-worker, who presented her with 93 00:07:59.139 --> 00:08:02.149 a bottle of wine as a token of appreciation for 94 00:08:02.189 --> 00:08:06.889 swapping shifts. Jaina happily chatted to her and some of 95 00:08:06.930 --> 00:08:11.939 the other employees on duty. Exuding a positive attitude that 96 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.850 afforded her many friends wherever she went, Jaina lived life 97 00:08:15.889 --> 00:08:20.209 to the fullest. It was this mindset that made her 98 00:08:20.269 --> 00:08:24.949 the perfect employee for Lululemon. She abided by one of 99 00:08:25.009 --> 00:08:30.300 the popular motivational quotes often seen advertised throughout Lululemon stores. 100 00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:34.320 To live every day as if it was your last. 101 00:08:38.110 --> 00:08:43.330 28-year-old Brittany Norwood was also having a lovely Friday. She 102 00:08:43.409 --> 00:08:46.110 spent the morning at a yoga class before meeting a 103 00:08:46.149 --> 00:08:50.519 friend for lunch. Afterwards, she and her friend got their 104 00:08:50.580 --> 00:08:54.759 nails done and Brittany then rushed to Lululemon, making it 105 00:08:54.860 --> 00:09:00.570 just on time to start her 3pm shift. Brittany had 106 00:09:00.620 --> 00:09:03.789 only been at the Bethesda location for a few weeks, 107 00:09:04.070 --> 00:09:08.070 having transferred from another Lululemon store. but so far she 108 00:09:08.129 --> 00:09:12.970 was enjoying it. Described as having a wide smile, welcoming 109 00:09:13.029 --> 00:09:15.970 nature and good sense of humour, she was quick to 110 00:09:16.009 --> 00:09:21.470 make friends. Like Jaina, Brittany was also a determined woman. 111 00:09:22.549 --> 00:09:27.490 She had previously managed VIP guests at a local intercontinental hotel, 112 00:09:27.870 --> 00:09:30.889 but had taken a considerable pay cut for the opportunity 113 00:09:30.929 --> 00:09:35.029 to work for Lululemon. Her goal was to use the 114 00:09:35.070 --> 00:09:38.100 yoga store as a stepping stone to her dream career 115 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.539 of becoming a personal trainer and opening her own gym. 116 00:09:43.820 --> 00:09:47.320 As Brittany arrived at work that Friday, she was closer 117 00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:51.149 to realising her dream than ever before, having secured a 118 00:09:51.210 --> 00:09:58.110 job interview at the local gym the following week. Friday 119 00:09:58.210 --> 00:10:01.710 nights were typically busy for the Louisians. store, and three 120 00:10:01.789 --> 00:10:07.120 salespeople were usually rostered on. However, one employee had called 121 00:10:07.179 --> 00:10:10.159 in sick and nobody was available to cover for her, 122 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.179 leaving Jaina and Brittany to hold down the fort on 123 00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:18.019 their own. They didn't mind, as they felt confident they 124 00:10:18.070 --> 00:10:22.639 could handle the workload. As the queue of people waiting 125 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.000 to enter the Apple store next door increased, it remained 126 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.120 busy at the yoga store. The line at Apple was 127 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:35.889 still out the door when Lululemon closed at 9pm. Jaina 128 00:10:35.929 --> 00:10:40.470 and Brittany completed the closing protocol for the store. As 129 00:10:40.529 --> 00:10:43.429 the more senior of the two, Jaina then switched off 130 00:10:43.470 --> 00:10:50.350 the lights, set the alarm and locked the door. At 9.45pm, 131 00:10:50.629 --> 00:10:54.090 the women said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. 132 00:10:59.649 --> 00:11:03.919 The next morning, Lululemon's store manager and owner, Rachel, made 133 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:08.620 her way to work at 8am. Neatly dressed in workout 134

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.720 gear and orange running shoes, she sipped a coffee as 135 00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:14.340 she passed a few people waiting for the Apple store 136 00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:18.950 to open. When she reached the front door of Lululemon, 137 00:11:19.129 --> 00:11:23.909 she was displeased to discover that it was unlocked. Rachel 138 00:11:23.990 --> 00:11:28.809 swore under her breath at Jaina for not locking up properly. However, 139 00:11:29.289 --> 00:11:33.250 as she stepped inside, it immediately became clear that something 140 00:11:33.350 --> 00:11:40.679 terrible had happened. Merchandise and clothing was strewn throughout. Mannequins 141 00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:43.559 were lying on the floor and a flat screen TV 142 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.840 had crashed and shattered on the ground. Rachel sidestepped a 143 00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:54.000 display table that had been moved and then stopped. A 144 00:11:54.039 --> 00:12:00.220 bloody shoe print appeared in front of her. Outside the store, 145 00:12:00.659 --> 00:12:03.450 a young man named Ryan sat on a public bench 146 00:12:03.710 --> 00:12:08.730 absentmindedly scrolling through his phone. He had missed out on 147 00:12:08.789 --> 00:12:11.769 an iPad 2 the night before and had arrived at 148 00:12:11.789 --> 00:12:15.529 the Apple store early to ensure he didn't go home empty-handed. 149 00:12:17.330 --> 00:12:20.669 Ryan looked up as Rachel made a hasty exit out 150 00:12:20.730 --> 00:12:25.549 of Lululemon on her phone to the police. She asked 151 00:12:25.649 --> 00:12:28.889 Ryan if he had seen anyone enter or leave Lululemon 152 00:12:28.929 --> 00:12:33.549 that morning. He hadn't, but volunteered to check inside the 153 00:12:33.570 --> 00:12:38.990 store while they waited for police to arrive. Ryan made 154 00:12:39.029 --> 00:12:41.720 his way past the clothing racks and to the change 155 00:12:41.779 --> 00:12:47.059 rooms where the bloody shoe prints increased. Following their trail, 156 00:12:47.580 --> 00:12:54.590 He called out. There was no response. After walking through 157 00:12:54.649 --> 00:12:57.409 a half door at the back of the store, Ryan 158 00:12:57.470 --> 00:13:00.350 came to another door that led to a rear hallway 159 00:13:00.470 --> 00:13:05.389 and emergency exit. A large pool of blood had seeped 160 00:13:05.509 --> 00:13:10.500 underneath the door. Ryan tried to push it open, but 161 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:15.009 there was something heavy on the other side. Forcing it 162 00:13:15.110 --> 00:13:18.980 open just enough to stick his head through, Ryan discovered 163 00:13:19.009 --> 00:13:21.679 the body of a woman propped up against the door, 164 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:27.700 laying face down on the blood-drenched ground. Blood was splattered 165 00:13:27.779 --> 00:13:32.590 high up the walls. A length of rope was tied 166 00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:35.889 around the woman's neck and a red toolbox sat on 167 00:13:35.950 --> 00:13:42.429 her back with multiple blood-soaked tools surrounding her body. Panicked, 168 00:13:42.789 --> 00:13:47.409 Ryan made his way back outside. On his way, he 169 00:13:47.470 --> 00:13:50.789 passed two staff bathrooms that he hadn't noticed on his 170 00:13:50.870 --> 00:13:55.200 way in. A pair of legs protruded from one of 171 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:59.080 the doorways, tightly bound at the ankles by zip ties. 172 00:14:01.019 --> 00:14:03.799 It was the body of another woman, lying on her 173 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:08.600 back with her wrists bound above her head. She was 174 00:14:08.669 --> 00:14:11.620 covered in wounds to her face and upper body, with 175 00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:16.500 blood coating her clothes. The black yoga pants she was 176 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.399 wearing had been ripped open at the crotch, and a 177 00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:23.000 large white rock the size of a baseball lay beside 178 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:28.559 her in a pool of blood. Within minutes, two officers 179 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:32.820 arrived and made their way to the rear hallway. Once 180 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.259 they'd established that the perpetrator was no longer in the store, 181 00:14:36.750 --> 00:14:39.389 one of the officers assessed the woman lying in the 182 00:14:39.429 --> 00:14:46.539 back hallway. It was Jaina Murray. It appeared she had 183 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:51.799 been deceased for some time. The officer then raced to 184 00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:56.580 the bathrooms where Brittany Norwood lay on the floor. Her 185 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.419 eyes were closed but she was still breathing. The officer 186 00:15:01.460 --> 00:15:05.379 cut Brittany free from the zip tie restraints and paramedics 187 00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:11.710 soon arrived to take her to a nearby hospital. Investigators 188 00:15:11.789 --> 00:15:17.210 from the Montgomery County Police Department began their inquiries. Heading 189 00:15:17.250 --> 00:15:22.779 the case were detectives Jim Drury and Dimitri Reuven. Signs 190 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:27.159 of a struggle were evident throughout the store. The registers 191 00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:31.759 were open and receipts were scattered behind the counter. Three 192 00:15:31.820 --> 00:15:35.279 small safes had also been opened and their contents emptied, 193 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:38.820 indicating that robbery had been a motive for the assault 194 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:44.889 on the two women. Meanwhile, Brittany underwent emergency treatment and 195 00:15:44.970 --> 00:15:50.710 regained consciousness. She had sustained numerous lacerations to her stomach, 196 00:15:50.909 --> 00:15:54.330 chest and legs and had shards of glass lodged in 197 00:15:54.389 --> 00:15:58.299 her back. There was a large wound to her forehead 198 00:15:58.659 --> 00:16:01.519 and her right hand was covered in defence wounds from 199 00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:06.759 fighting off her attacker. Still in shock and pain,

she 200 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.820 began to explain what had happened to her and Jaina 201 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:14.700 the night before. The ordeal was so brutal that the 202 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.139 officer who took down the statement couldn't believe what she 203 00:16:18.179 --> 00:16:27.940 was hearing. At 9.45pm, Jaina closed up the store and 204 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:32.580 the women went their separate ways. As Brittany walked to 205 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:36.460 the nearby subway, she realised she'd left her wallet behind. 206 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.480 She didn't have keys to the store, so she called 207 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:46.759 Jaina to explain the situation. Coincidentally, Jaina had also accidentally 208 00:16:46.820 --> 00:16:49.960 left her laptop behind, so she told Brittany she would 209 00:16:50.019 --> 00:16:52.740 meet her back at the store to retrieve their belongings. 210 00:16:54.610 --> 00:17:00.090 They both arrived at Lululemon just after 10pm. Jaina opened 211 00:17:00.110 --> 00:17:04.359 the door and deactivated the security alarm but Brittany couldn't 212 00:17:04.410 --> 00:17:08.819 find her wallet anywhere. The two women searched the rear 213 00:17:08.859 --> 00:17:11.880 of the store for about 10 minutes before giving up. 214 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:16.900 Jaina gave Brittany her Metro travel card so she could 215 00:17:16.940 --> 00:17:19.680 get home and promised she would look for the wallet 216 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:25.259 again in the morning. Just then, They realised they'd forgotten 217 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.460 to lock the front door behind them when they came inside. 218 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.680 A man dressed head to toe in black clothing, including gloves, 219 00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:38.940 a hoodie and a ski mask, snuck out from behind 220 00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:43.049 a clothing rack. He hit Jaina over the back of 221 00:17:43.089 --> 00:17:48.089 the head with a metal bar. Suddenly, another man clad 222 00:17:48.130 --> 00:17:51.109 in the same attire appeared from a different clothing rack 223 00:17:51.369 --> 00:17:55.519 and grabbed Brittany by the hair. He began cutting her 224 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.019 with a sharp object, warning that he'd slit her throat 225 00:17:59.180 --> 00:18:03.480 if she said a word. The other man took Jaina 226 00:18:03.539 --> 00:18:06.619 to the rear hallway while Brittany's attacker dragged her to 227 00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:11.220 the bathroom. He yelled racial slurs at Brittany and called 228 00:18:11.259 --> 00:18:15.309 her a quote, dirty slut. He threw her to the 229 00:18:15.369 --> 00:18:18.369 ground and slit open her yoga pants at the crotch. 230 00:18:20.049 --> 00:18:23.569 Brittany sobbed as she recounted the brutal rape that followed. 231 00:18:24.029 --> 00:18:26.269 which included the use of a coat hanger from the 232 00:18:26.329 --> 00:18:30.180 store that had serrated edges to keep the garments in position. 233 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.039 At one point, the attacker hit Brittany on the head 234 00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:38.960 with a hard object, presumably the large rock found by 235 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.000 her body, causing her to drift in and out of 236 00:18:42.059 --> 00:18:48.029 consciousness while the assault continued. All of a sudden, Brittany's 237 00:18:48.089 --> 00:18:53.599 attacker demanded she be quiet. Brittany listened closely and could 238 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:58.170 hear voices coming from the Apple store next door. She 239 00:18:58.230 --> 00:19:02.809 prayed that someone would intervene and rescue her, but nothing happened. 240 00:19:04.430 --> 00:19:07.650 When the voices died down, the masked man pulled Brittany 241 00:19:07.710 --> 00:19:10.150 to her feet and ordered her to open the cash 242 00:19:10.210 --> 00:19:16.019 registers and safes. As she complied, Brittany could hear Jaina 243 00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:20.279 screaming from the rear of the store. Her screams became 244 00:19:20.380 --> 00:19:26.819 quieter and less frequent, before stopping altogether. The next thing 245 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:33.690 Brittany remembered was being stretched outside by a paramedic. Brittany 246 00:19:33.750 --> 00:19:36.569 recalled that both of the men were of medium build, 247 00:19:36.829 --> 00:19:41.789 but one was significantly taller than the other. Jane's attacker 248 00:19:41.869 --> 00:19:45.450 was approximately six feet tall. while the man who assaulted 249 00:19:45.549 --> 00:19:49.059 Brittany was about 5 foot 5 and had no trouble 250 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:56.259 overpowering her 5 foot 3, 120 pound frame. From their voices, 251 00:19:56.539 --> 00:20:00.000 she guessed they were young white American men, but their 252 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:05.589 black attire had covered most of their features. Brittany blamed 253 00:20:05.619 --> 00:20:08.990 herself for the ordeal, believing it wouldn't have happened if 254 00:20:09.049 --> 00:20:14.940 she hadn't forgotten her wallet. After 48 painful minutes of 255 00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:20.380 recounting the night's events, she asked, Is my friend okay? 256 00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:28.990 Brittany's statement helped the crime scene investigators piece together a 257 00:20:29.130 --> 00:20:33.970 timeline of events. As Brittany's attacker forced her to open 258 00:20:34.009 --> 00:20:37.230 the registers and safes, both he and Brittany had tracked 259 00:20:37.309 --> 00:20:42.950 blood throughout the store. The size 7.5 New Balance shoe 260 00:20:43.009 --> 00:20:47.779 prints belonged to Brittany, meaning the size 14 Reebok sneakers 261 00:20:47.990 --> 00:20:54.039 belonged to her attacker. Authorities believed that the attackers had 262 00:20:54.099 --> 00:20:58.200 watched the two women go back into Lululemon from afar and, 263 00:20:58.420 --> 00:21:02.160 seeing an opportunity to burglarise the store, had followed them 264 00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:10.150 inside seconds after

they entered. Lululemon offered a $ 125, 000 reward 265 00:21:10.230 --> 00:21:13.730 for leads resulting in the conviction of the men responsible. 266 00:21:15.299 --> 00:21:19.220 The chief of police addressed reporters outside the store, giving 267 00:21:19.259 --> 00:21:22.859 a description of the two suspects and pleading for witnesses 268 00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:28.900 to come forward, adding, We only have one eyewitness, and 269 00:21:29.019 --> 00:21:35.220 she's been through a lot. Lara, the employee from Apple, 270 00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:39.849 was interviewed later that day. She broke down in tears 271 00:21:39.940 --> 00:21:42.829 when she discovered a woman had been murdered and another 272 00:21:42.930 --> 00:21:46.869 severely injured in an assault that she had largely dismissed. 273 00:21:48.569 --> 00:21:51.849 Jaina's murder had occurred a mere eight feet from where 274 00:21:51.890 --> 00:21:58.019 the Apple employees had stood listening to her screaming. The 275 00:21:58.059 --> 00:22:03.259 Lululemon store didn't have indoor surveillance. However, there were CCTV 276 00:22:03.299 --> 00:22:08.339 cameras positioned outside the rear of the Apple store. These 277 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:12.880 cameras captured the back car park shared by Apple and Lululemon. 278 00:22:14.900 --> 00:22:19.720 As detectives began watching the previous night's recordings, nothing initially 279 00:22:19.779 --> 00:22:25.529 stood out. But at 11pm, just after the attack took place, 280 00:22:26.150 --> 00:22:31.009 two men entered the frames. They were both dressed entirely 281 00:22:31.089 --> 00:22:34.930 in black. The taller of the two wore a ski 282 00:22:34.970 --> 00:22:37.859 mask rolled up like a beanie and had a backpack 283 00:22:37.930 --> 00:22:42.460 slung over one shoulder. The shorter man was talking on 284 00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:46.720 a phone. The pair seemed in a hurry as they 285 00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:49.980 walked from the direction of Lululemon and out of view 286 00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:55.119 of the cameras. The detectives went frame by frame trying 287 00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.839 to get a clear picture of the men's faces, but 288 00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:03.529 it was too blurry. Regardless, they were certain these were 289 00:23:03.569 --> 00:23:10.259 the two suspects they were looking for. As detectives focused 290 00:23:10.339 --> 00:23:14.339 on identifying the two masked men, another lead came in. 291 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:19.079 As detailed in the book The Yoga Store Murder by 292 00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:23.900 Dan Morse, the day after the attack, Jaina Murray's two-door 293 00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:27.849 Silver Pontiac G5 was found in a car park three 294 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:33.039 blocks from the Lululemon store. Given that there was plenty 295 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.279 of available parking much closer to the store when Jaina 296 00:23:36.339 --> 00:23:43.650 returned at 10pm, this was puzzling. An officer came forward 297 00:23:43.730 --> 00:23:46.390 to report that he'd been patrolling the car park at 298 00:23:46.410 --> 00:23:50.170 around 12.30 on the night of the attack, 90 minutes 299 00:23:50.369 --> 00:23:54.390 after the two masked men were captured walking away from Lululemon. 300 00:23:56.430 --> 00:23:59.920 As he drove past Jaina's Pontiac, he noticed the headlights 301 00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:02.839 were on and someone was sitting in the driver's seat. 302 00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:07.420 The officer considered pulling over to talk to the driver 303 00:24:07.579 --> 00:24:11.039 but changed his mind, thinking they'd likely just parked for 304 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:16.000 a quick cigarette. The officer couldn't make out any details 305 00:24:16.059 --> 00:24:19.109 of the person in the driver's seat and continued on 306 00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:24.589 his way. However, Two hours later, he returned to the 307 00:24:24.630 --> 00:24:27.490 car park to find the Pontiac in the same spot 308 00:24:27.690 --> 00:24:32.720 with its lights still on. This time, the officer couldn't 309 00:24:32.819 --> 00:24:35.480 see if there was anyone in the driver's seat, and 310 00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:40.119 once again, he drove off. He patrolled the car park 311 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:43.269 a third time an hour later to find the Pontiac 312 00:24:43.369 --> 00:24:49.519 vacant with its lights off. Detectives considered that Gina's murderer 313 00:24:49.619 --> 00:24:52.339 may have been the person spotted in the driver's seat, 314 00:24:52.859 --> 00:25:04.029 but they were at a loss to explain why. Case 315 00:25:04.069 --> 00:25:07.529 file will be back shortly. Thank you for supporting us 316 00:25:07.650 --> 00:25:12.549 by listening to this episode's sponsors.

It was unlike 344 00:27:27.069 --> 00:27:31.329 anything seen in Bethesda, where local police were usually concerned 345 00:27:31.390 --> 00:27:36.150 with minor crimes in the affluent neighbourhood. Women who would 346 00:27:36.230 --> 00:27:39.970 normally be more than comfortable walking alone along Bethesda Row 347 00:27:40.250 --> 00:27:44.009 began travelling in groups and arming themselves with pepper spray 348 00:27:44.190 --> 00:27:48.710 in case they were next to be targeted. A makeshift 349 00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:53.759 memorial adorned the sidewalk outside of Lululemon as distressed locals 350 00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:59.910 lay flowers and cards. one of which read, Two beautiful souls, 351 00:28:00.490 --> 00:28:07.250 one lost, one deeply hurt. The police tip line was 352 00:28:07.289 --> 00:28:11.150 abuzz with concerned locals phoning in their suspicions on who 353 00:28:11.190 --> 00:28:16.740 was responsible. Many could be dismissed almost immediately, but there 354 00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:20.299 was one name that kept coming up over and over again, 355 00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:27.150 Keith Lockett. Keith was a 40-year-old homeless man who was 356 00:28:27.190 --> 00:28:30.950 well known to those who lived in Bethesda. With a 357 00:28:30.990 --> 00:28:35.369 reputation for getting drunk and verbally abusive, many local women 358 00:28:35.430 --> 00:28:40.589 were terrified of him. Authorities questioned the manager of a 359 00:28:40.630 --> 00:28:45.009 local restaurant where Keith typically visited every day, only to 360 00:28:45.069 --> 00:28:47.410 find out that he hadn't come in on the Friday 361 00:28:47.549 --> 00:28:52.950 or Saturday

when the attack took place. The manager of 362 00:28:52.990 --> 00:28:57.240 a nearby homeware store recalled seeing Keith walk past Lululemon 363 00:28:57.299 --> 00:29:00.740 on the Friday of the attack. He'd had a backpack 364 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:04.380 over his shoulder, which struck the manager as odd because 365 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:08.460 he'd never seen Keith wearing a backpack. He'd been in 366 00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:11.769 the company of two other men, whom the manager had 367 00:29:11.849 --> 00:29:17.829 never seen before. A former amateur boxer, Keith had a 368 00:29:17.890 --> 00:29:23.690 long rap sheet that included robbery, assault and battery. It 369 00:29:23.779 --> 00:29:27.880 didn't take long for officers to locate him. He was 370 00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:31.470 in a hospital out of town being treated for facial injuries, 371 00:29:31.849 --> 00:29:36.980 including a swollen eye. His clothes were covered in spots 372 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:43.220 of dried blood. Detectives rushed to the hospital, speculating that 373 00:29:43.299 --> 00:29:48.119 Jaina or Brittany may have injured him in self-defence. It 374 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:50.920 made sense that he sought help from a hospital out 375 00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:56.490 of town to fly under the radar. Keith's bloodied clothes 376 00:29:56.589 --> 00:30:00.730 were taken for DNA analysis. and once he was medically cleared, 377 00:30:01.089 --> 00:30:04.710 he was taken to the Montgomery County Police Station for questioning. 378 00:30:04.730 --> 00:30:10.349 He strongly denied having any involvement in the attack, but 379 00:30:10.410 --> 00:30:14.069 admitted being near the Lululemon store when it took place. 380 00:30:16.180 --> 00:30:19.799 As detailed in the book The Yoga Store Murder, Keith 381 00:30:19.859 --> 00:30:23.180 Lockett told the detectives that he had also been assaulted 382 00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:26.380 on the night of the attack, hence his facial injuries. 383 00:30:28.259 --> 00:30:32.480 he was assaulted by a, quote, short Spanish dude who 384 00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:37.750 hung out with a taller African-American man. From gossip on 385 00:30:37.789 --> 00:30:41.069 the streets, Keith knew the two men had recently paired 386 00:30:41.230 --> 00:30:47.220 up and were robbing stores in Bethesda. Keith then became emotional. 387 00:30:48.220 --> 00:30:51.099 He told detectives that he was standing across the road 388 00:30:51.180 --> 00:30:55.940 from Lululemon when, quote, The black dude and the Spanish 389 00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.559 dude robbed the lady and cut her. I seen it 390 00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:05.869 with my own eyes. Detectives didn't know what to make 391 00:31:05.950 --> 00:31:10.990 of Keith's statement. He was confused, sometimes incoherent, and told 392 00:31:11.029 --> 00:31:16.170 the officers that he suffered from schizoaffective disorder which required medication. 393 00:31:18.289 --> 00:31:21.910 Over the course of the interview,

Keith's story changed multiple 394 00:31:21.970 --> 00:31:24.799 times and and he later claimed to have seen a 395 00:31:24.859 --> 00:31:28.180 gang of young teens riding skateboards out of the store. 396 00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:33.940 Workers at a homeless shelter who often supplied Keith with 397 00:31:34.019 --> 00:31:37.039 meals and a place to sleep conceded that he could 398 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:40.289 be rude, but they didn't for one minute suspect him 399 00:31:40.349 --> 00:31:44.930 of committing the attack. The blood on Keith's clothes was 400 00:31:44.990 --> 00:31:49.869 determined to be his own. Furthermore, none of his DNA 401 00:31:49.930 --> 00:31:54.630 was found at the Lululemon crime scene. With no physical 402 00:31:54.710 --> 00:31:58.039 evidence linking Keith to the attack, he was ruled out 403 00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:07.779 as a suspect. Meanwhile, the medical examiner working on Jaina's 404 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.849 autopsy assumed that she'd been a victim of a motor 405 00:32:10.890 --> 00:32:14.630 vehicle or bicycle accident, given that her face and scalp 406 00:32:14.690 --> 00:32:20.210 were covered in so many bruises, lacerations and wounds. Jaina's 407 00:32:20.269 --> 00:32:24.099 face was so disfigured by various injuries that her features 408 00:32:24.170 --> 00:32:30.420 were unrecognisable. Lacerations on her face continued to her torso 409 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:34.500 and back and ranged in size from nearly pinprick to 410 00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:39.640 four inches. The crotch of Jaina's leggings had been slashed 411 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:43.609 and an area of blood suggested to the medical examiner that, 412 00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:49.950 like Brittany, Jaina had also been sexually assaulted. Fibres of 413 00:32:50.029 --> 00:32:53.329 rope found in Jaina's clenched hands matched the piece of 414 00:32:53.430 --> 00:32:56.859 rope tied around her neck, indicating that she had struggled 415 00:32:56.890 --> 00:33:02.259 to free herself. However, her death wasn't caused by strangulation, 416 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:05.779 but from a one-inch stab wound sustained at the base 417 00:33:05.819 --> 00:33:10.839 of her skull. Presumably caused by a knife, the stabbing 418 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:17.720 had severed her brain stem. In total, Jaina had sustained 419 00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:23.559 13 skull fractures and at least 331 separate injuries, of 420 00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:29.619 which 152 were to her head and 105 were defensive wounds. 421 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.440 Jaina was a chronic nail biter, and even though she 422 00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.819 had fought hard against her attacker, her nails were too 423 00:33:37.940 --> 00:33:44.079 short to have collected any DNA from her perpetrator. Jaina's 424 00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:47.220 wounds had been caused by various objects which had been 425 00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:50.440 taken from in the store and many from the toolbox 426 00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:55.309 that had rested on her back. These items included a wrench, 427 00:33:55.630 --> 00:33:59.730 a foot-long metal bar, a metal display hook, a hammer, 428 00:34:00.130 --> 00:34:04.130 a box cutter, a Buddha statue, and an exacto knife, 429 00:34:04.700 --> 00:34:11.690 all of which were found around Jaina's body. By the 430 00:34:11.789 --> 00:34:15.670 evening of Monday March 14, three days after the attack, 431 00:34:16.170 --> 00:34:19.159 Brittany had been released from hospital and was resting up 432 00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:23.179 at home. Her parents had flown in from across the 433 00:34:23.219 --> 00:34:26.760 country and she was surrounded by her eight siblings whom 434 00:34:26.820 --> 00:34:30.099 she was extremely close to and who dropped everything to 435 00:34:30.139 --> 00:34:35.250 support her. They were extremely worried about Brittany as she'd 436 00:34:35.289 --> 00:34:41.090 become withdrawn and was hardly sleeping. Friends also rallied around her, 437 00:34:41.369 --> 00:34:47.880 sending her messages of love. Desperate for more information, detectives 438 00:34:47.949 --> 00:34:52.639 Drury and Reuven went to interview Brittany once more. Brittany 439 00:34:52.699 --> 00:34:56.320 struggled to talk as she relived the violent assault again. 440 00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:00.269 She recalled how the two men were laughing as they 441 00:35:00.309 --> 00:35:03.989 carried out the burglary, rape and murder, describing it as 442 00:35:04.050 --> 00:35:06.909 like a scene out of the violent video game Grand 443 00:35:06.969 --> 00:35:14.739 Theft Auto. Brittany paused. There was something she had been 444 00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:17.920 keeping to herself out of sheer terror that the masked 445 00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:30.630 perpetrators would return. Bursting into tears, Brittany explained that the 446 00:35:30.670 --> 00:35:33.630 two men were rifling through the contents of her bag 447 00:35:33.750 --> 00:35:37.070 when they found two separate utility bills showing her name 448 00:35:37.130 --> 00:35:41.639 and address. She was now terrified that they were going 449 00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:46.739 to pay her a visit. The detectives reassured the Norwoods 450 00:35:46.820 --> 00:35:50.329 that it was highly unlikely her perpetrators would return, but 451 00:35:50.369 --> 00:35:52.989 warned them to be on the lookout for any suspicious 452 00:35:53.050 --> 00:35:58.789 behaviour from people in the street. As the detectives prepared 453 00:35:58.829 --> 00:36:02.739 to leave, Brittany's brother Chris asked to speak to them outside. 454 00:36:04.730 --> 00:36:07.510 He asked them why they thought the killers had spared 455 00:36:07.550 --> 00:36:13.250 his sister when Jaina had been so savagely murdered. As 456 00:36:13.349 --> 00:36:16.800 detailed in the yoga store murder, one of the detectives 457 00:36:16.989 --> 00:36:22.559 asked Chris what kind of person Brittany was. He paused 458 00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:37.500 before

saying, My sister is a very secretive person. On 459 00:36:37.539 --> 00:36:40.219 the same day that Brittany was being interviewed at her 460 00:36:40.260 --> 00:36:45.050 home by detectives, Sergeant Craig Wittenberger entered the Lululemon store 461 00:36:45.130 --> 00:36:51.409 to continue his investigation. One detail continued to plague him. 462 00:36:53.250 --> 00:36:56.260 Why were only Brittany's shoe prints and one other pair 463 00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:59.079 found in the store when there were two masked men 464 00:36:59.219 --> 00:37:04.500 involved in the assault? Furthermore, why were there no bloody 465 00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:07.789 shoe prints outside the store? either at the front or 466 00:37:07.889 --> 00:37:14.320 back entrance. As Sergeant Wittenberger re-examined the front of the store, 467 00:37:14.659 --> 00:37:17.000 he noticed a table had been pushed up against the 468 00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:21.119 wall in all the commotion. When he slid it back, 469 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:26.579 he found that the table had drawers underneath. Opening one, 470 00:37:26.980 --> 00:37:30.820 he pulled out a pair of shoes, men's Reebok size 471 00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:36.260 14 sneakers. Their tread was an exact match to the 472 00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:41.639 larger bloody shoe prints left in the store. The smaller 473 00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.659 shoe prints stopped abruptly in front of a sink at 474 00:37:44.699 --> 00:37:48.110 the back of the store, indicating that whoever wore them 475 00:37:48.230 --> 00:37:52.809 had removed them in an attempt to clean them. A 476 00:37:52.889 --> 00:37:56.369 strange pattern of scalloped blood marks then trailed from the 477 00:37:56.449 --> 00:38:00.369 sink back to the table drawer where the Reeboks were found. 478 00:38:02.500 --> 00:38:06.199 Analysis showed that the marks were from shoelaces that were 479 00:38:06.260 --> 00:38:11.550 wet with diluted blood. Every time the person stepped, the 480 00:38:11.610 --> 00:38:14.610 ends of the shoelaces flicked on the floor and left 481 00:38:14.670 --> 00:38:21.409 a small mark. Detective Reuven questioned store manager Rachel about 482 00:38:21.449 --> 00:38:25.739 the Reeboks. She told him that the shoes were owned 483 00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:29.239 and kept at Lululemon for their male customers to try 484 00:38:29.340 --> 00:38:34.150 on when buying pants. That way, any alterations that needed 485 00:38:34.210 --> 00:38:36.469 to be made to the length of the pants could 486 00:38:36.510 --> 00:38:43.809 be done in store. It was a major breakthrough. A 487 00:38:43.849 --> 00:38:47.739 forensic examiner concluded that the Reebok prints appeared to have 488 00:38:47.780 --> 00:38:52.559 been staged, as the print patterns were inconsistent with normal movement. 489 00:38:54.300 --> 00:38:57.380 As detailed in Murder in the Yoga Store by Peter 490 00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:02.269 Ross Range, Detective Reuven considered this evidence and told his 491 00:39:02.349 --> 00:39:08.210 shocked colleagues, The footprints never left the store because the 492 00:39:08.269 --> 00:39:16.400 killer never left the store. On Wednesday March 17, six 493 00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:20.059 days after the murder, Brittany arrived at the police station 494 00:39:20.219 --> 00:39:23.539 having agreed to provide hair and fingerprint samples to help 495 00:39:23.619 --> 00:39:27.909 with the crime scene analysis. Brittany was taken to an 496 00:39:27.969 --> 00:39:31.349 interview room where she was told that the technicians collecting 497 00:39:31.369 --> 00:39:37.530 the samples had been delayed. While they waited Detective Drury 498 00:39:37.610 --> 00:39:40.989 pressed Brittany to recall the night's events one more time. 499 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:46.699 She retold the story nearly word for word sobbing in parts. 500 00:39:48.460 --> 00:39:51.809 When she finished Detective Drury asked if she had ever 501 00:39:51.849 --> 00:39:59.960 been in Jaina's car before. Brittany replied no. The detectives 502 00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:08.659 knew she was lying. Forensic examination of Jaina's Pontiac had 503 00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:12.039 revealed blood on the car's stick shift, the steering wheel 504 00:40:12.260 --> 00:40:17.110 and the inside of the door. DNA analysis showed the 505 00:40:17.150 --> 00:40:22.000 blood belonged to two people, Jaina Murray and Brittany Norwood. 506 00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:27.019 A black lululemon cap in the back seat had a 507 00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:30.820 bloodstain on the inside in the exact same position as 508 00:40:30.860 --> 00:40:33.570 the wound that Brittany had obtained to the centre of 509 00:40:33.650 --> 00:40:42.110 her forehead. DNA analysis confirmed it was Brittany's blood. Detectives 510 00:40:42.190 --> 00:40:44.849 wondered if Brittany could have been the person the patrol 511 00:40:44.909 --> 00:40:48.329 officer had seen sitting in the driver's seat after the attack. 512 00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:53.679 This speculation was not enough to place Brittany under arrest 513 00:40:54.059 --> 00:40:58.340 and so she was permitted to leave the station. The 514 00:40:58.380 --> 00:41:02.000 next day, Brittany's brother Chris called the detectives to let 515 00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:04.610 them know that his sister had something she wanted to 516 00:41:04.650 --> 00:41:09.409 get off her chest. Brittany soon arrived at the station 517 00:41:09.530 --> 00:41:12.389 with Chris and one of her sisters by her side. 518 00:41:13.769 --> 00:41:16.670 She told detectives there was something she had been keeping 519 00:41:16.710 --> 00:41:20.750 from them because she was frightened. She had in fact 520 00:41:20.869 --> 00:41:23.550 been in Jaina's car on the night of her murder. 521 00:41:25.809 --> 00:41:29.489 Brittany claimed that midway through the assault, her attacker ordered 522 00:41:29.530 --> 00:41:32.949 her to move Jaina's car which was parked outside the store. 523 00:41:34.219 -->

00:41:37.519 He didn't offer any explanation as to why, but as 524 00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:42.440 detailed in Murder in the Yoga Store, Brittany told detectives, quote, 525 00:41:43.860 --> 00:41:46.239 They said that if I was to pass anyone and 526 00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:50.530 open my mouth, I can consider myself dead. and that 527 00:41:50.650 --> 00:41:53.269 one of them would be watching me the entire time. 528 00:41:54.949 --> 00:41:57.570 I remember seeing a cop, and I was just too 529 00:41:57.630 --> 00:42:03.570 scared to even flag him down. Brittany said she parked 530 00:42:03.630 --> 00:42:07.030 the car a few blocks away and walked back to Lululemon, 531 00:42:07.429 --> 00:42:13.030 passing pedestrians whilst covered in blood. Nobody noticed her injuries, 532 00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:15.840 and she was too scared to ask anyone for help. 533 00:42:18.780 --> 00:42:22.780 Detectives Drury and Reuven were beyond dubious and figured that 534 00:42:22.860 --> 00:42:27.610 Brittany was trying to cover her tracks. They questioned why 535 00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:32.130 she didn't keep driving to safety. She explained that her 536 00:42:32.190 --> 00:42:34.949 attackers knew where she lived and she didn't want them 537 00:42:35.010 --> 00:42:39.570 to come back. No matter how hard the detectives tried, 538 00:42:40.019 --> 00:42:45.949 Brittany didn't budge from her story. Eventually, they gave up. 539 00:42:47.179 --> 00:42:50.780 They summoned Brittany's siblings into the interview room and said, 540 00:42:52.019 --> 00:43:01.199 Brittany killed Jaina. Brittany's siblings listened in horror as Detective 541 00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:05.539 Drury detailed the extensive evidence that pointed to Brittany Norwood 542 00:43:05.699 --> 00:43:09.579 as the sole perpetrator of the assault that killed Jaina Murray. 543 00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:15.179 Any credibility to her story about two masked men was 544 00:43:15.260 --> 00:43:19.769 dispelled and when the men captured on CCTV were identified 545 00:43:19.849 --> 00:43:23.800 as two kitchen hands in a nearby restaurant hurrying to work. 546 00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:28.559 The men were interviewed by detectives and ruled out as 547 00:43:28.619 --> 00:43:34.360 suspects immediately. It was purely coincidental that they happened to 548 00:43:34.409 --> 00:43:38.130 walk into the CCTV surveillance just after the attack had 549 00:43:38.190 --> 00:43:44.079 taken place. The week of forensic investigations into the store 550 00:43:44.219 --> 00:43:48.099 had provided ample evidence that pointed to Brittany's guilt, with 551 00:43:48.139 --> 00:43:51.599 the analysis of Jaina's car being the final piece of 552 00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:57.480 the puzzle. Further interviews with the Apple employees who heard 553 00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:02.019 noises coming from the Lululemon store revealed they heard not one, 554 00:44:02.219 --> 00:44:05.239 but two female voices on the night of the attack. 555 00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:10.429 They seemed to be arguing loudly before the screaming began. 556 00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:15.139 Just before one of the women could be heard yelling, 557 00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:20.500 God help me, another female voice was heard screaming, Talk 558 00:44:20.539 --> 00:44:27.099 to me. Don't do this. What's going on? From the 559 00:44:27.139 --> 00:44:30.840 very beginning, even Brittany's brother Chris had found it strange 560 00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:34.780 that Jaina had received such brutal injuries, while Brittany had 561 00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:39.239 received superficial injuries that only required a short stay in hospital. 562 00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:44.539 Brittany tried to explain this to detectives, saying that she 563 00:44:44.579 --> 00:44:47.440 had been spared from the brunt of the attack because 564 00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:53.920 her rapist said she was, quote, fun to fuck. However, 565 00:44:54.380 --> 00:44:58.000 Brittany was examined by a nurse trained in treating victims 566 00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:02.599 of sexual assault. She found there were no clinical signs 567 00:45:02.699 --> 00:45:06.260 that Brittany had been raped, nor any physical injuries that 568 00:45:06.300 --> 00:45:09.530 would be expected following a rough sexual assault with a 569 00:45:09.570 --> 00:45:14.260 coat hanger. there were also no traces of semen found 570 00:45:14.340 --> 00:45:19.940 at the scene. Even though Jaina's pants had been slit, 571 00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:25.309 she hadn't been sexually assaulted either. The area of blood 572 00:45:25.409 --> 00:45:28.630 near her genitals was actually pooling from another wound on 573 00:45:28.670 --> 00:45:35.010 her body. In her original statement to detectives, Brittany claimed 574 00:45:35.130 --> 00:45:37.809 she had not been near Jaina's body once the two 575 00:45:37.869 --> 00:45:43.190 had been separated. However, Three days after the attack, Brittany 576 00:45:43.250 --> 00:45:46.780 provided another statement in which she claimed to have just 577 00:45:46.860 --> 00:45:50.420 remembered that her attacker had pushed her onto Jaina's bleeding 578 00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:56.599 body in an effort to psychologically torture her. Detectives believed 579 00:45:56.719 --> 00:46:00.250 Brittany had made up this story to explain why traces 580 00:46:00.289 --> 00:46:05.670 of her blood were found on Jaina's body. It was 581 00:46:05.730 --> 00:46:09.230 determined that all of the injuries Brittany sustained could have 582 00:46:09.269 --> 00:46:14.590 been self-inflicted. The lacerations to her upper back were only 583 00:46:14.630 --> 00:46:17.789 in positions that someone could reach with their own hands. 584 00:46:18.989 --> 00:46:22.940 They were all superficial and uniform in depth and appearance, 585 00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:28.820 indicating Brittany hadn't struggled when they were being inflicted. Brittany 586 00:46:28.860 --> 00:46:32.199 had claimed she'd been cut with various instruments

while she 587 00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:36.210 had her clothes on. However, there were no lacerations in 588 00:46:36.409 --> 00:46:41.090 any of her clothing. When Brittany was found, her hands 589 00:46:41.130 --> 00:46:45.510 were ziplocked together high above her head. There was no 590 00:46:45.610 --> 00:46:48.230 reason for this, as she could have lowered her arms 591 00:46:48.250 --> 00:46:53.489 any time. It seemed to detectives that she was putting 592 00:46:53.570 --> 00:46:59.110 on a show. Analysis of the zip ties used to 593 00:46:59.150 --> 00:47:03.300 restrain her wrists and ankles revealed bite marks and DNA 594 00:47:03.469 --> 00:47:06.760 where Brittany had used her teeth to secure them herself. 595 00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:12.880 A two-inch laceration between Brittany's right thumb and forefinger was 596 00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:18.369 originally labelled a defensive wound caused by a knife. However, 597 00:47:18.769 --> 00:47:22.710 analysis of the laceration indicated it had been caused by 598 00:47:22.769 --> 00:47:26.409 a knife slipping in Brittany's hand as she stabbed Jaina 599 00:47:26.570 --> 00:47:32.199 and lost her grip. Because the attack on Jaina had 600 00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:35.949 been so brutal and left her face so disfigured, It 601 00:47:36.050 --> 00:47:39.409 pointed to someone who knew Jaina and had immense feelings 602 00:47:39.469 --> 00:47:45.690 of hatred towards her, not a random burglar. It begged 603 00:47:45.789 --> 00:48:08.329 the ultimate question. Why would Brittany murder Jaina? Brittany Norwood 604 00:48:08.369 --> 00:48:10.070 came from a family of high achievers. She performed well 605 00:48:10.210 --> 00:48:12.800 in school and received good grades, but it was on 606 00:48:12.820 --> 00:48:35.650 the soccer field that she really shone. Brittany received an 607 00:48:35.730 --> 00:48:39.340 athletic scholarship at Stony Brook University where she was named 608 00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:43.639 the team's most valuable player. With dreams of becoming a 609 00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:49.460 social worker, Brittany was also studying sociology and psychology. But 610 00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:53.110 in 2004, she was asked to leave the university after 611 00:48:53.139 --> 00:48:58.170 multiple friends accused her of stealing from them. Brittany broke 612 00:48:58.210 --> 00:49:01.489 down and admitted to it. She promised not to do 613 00:49:01.530 --> 00:49:04.909 it again However, she didn't stay true to her word. 614 00:49:06.110 --> 00:49:09.650 She later stole $ 300 from one of her sister's purses 615 00:49:09.730 --> 00:49:14.309 during a family gathering, although she wholeheartedly denied doing so. 616 00:49:14.329 --> 00:49:19.679 Although she had told family and friends she had graduated, 617 00:49:20.110 --> 00:49:25.400 Brittany left the university before completing her degree. She secured 618 00:49:25.460 --> 00:49:29.440 a job working at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, situated a 619 00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:33.579 stone's throw from the White House. Things were looking up 620 00:49:33.699 --> 00:49:37.860 for Brittany. She was well-liked and quickly promoted. once winning 621 00:49:37.900 --> 00:49:43.260 the title of Employee of the Quarter. However, Brittany also 622 00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:48.699 had a secretive side. In 2007, she broke up with 623 00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:53.050 her boyfriend of 18 months. The following year, she broke 624 00:49:53.110 --> 00:49:57.250 into his house and stole various items, including jewellery, blank 625 00:49:57.369 --> 00:50:02.409 cheques and car keys. Brittany's ex filed a restraining order 626 00:50:02.449 --> 00:50:06.230 against her, claiming she had also been physically abusive towards 627 00:50:06.289 --> 00:50:11.019 him and he feared for his safety. Brittany violated the 628 00:50:11.059 --> 00:50:14.420 restraining order within two weeks and an arrest warrant was 629 00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:20.219 subsequently issued but never executed. Authorities were busy with more 630 00:50:20.300 --> 00:50:27.070 serious crimes and the warrant expired after a year. With 631 00:50:27.110 --> 00:50:30.110 the goal of becoming a personal trainer, Brittany left her 632 00:50:30.170 --> 00:50:33.349 job at the hotel and started working at the Lululemon 633 00:50:33.389 --> 00:50:39.440 store in Georgetown, D.C. Shortly after, a co-worker accused her 634 00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:44.960 of stealing money from the tills. In January 2011, Brittany 635 00:50:44.980 --> 00:50:48.280 was fired after her boss accused her of abusing her 636 00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:53.980 store discount. Brittany disputed this and in the end, management 637 00:50:54.019 --> 00:50:59.340 at Lululemon decided not to fire her Instead, she was 638 00:50:59.420 --> 00:51:04.769 transferred to the Bethesda store. As detailed in the book 639 00:51:04.909 --> 00:51:08.989 The Yoga Store Murder, after meeting up with her future co-workers, 640 00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:12.340 Brittany sent one of them a text message which read, 641 00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.739 You have such a solid team. I know it'll be 642 00:51:16.780 --> 00:51:24.960 a great experience. Over the coming weeks, several employees at 643 00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:29.920 the Bethesda store noticed that certain items were missing. When 644 00:51:29.980 --> 00:51:33.800 these employees confronted the store manager, she checked the roster 645 00:51:33.960 --> 00:51:38.239 and noticed Brittany had been working each time that something disappeared. 646 00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:42.860 Two days prior to the store attack, at a weekly 647 00:51:42.949 --> 00:51:47.420 leadership meeting which included Jaina Murray, the team huddled together 648 00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:49.940 and discussed how they were going to catch Brittany in 649 00:51:49.980 --> 00:51:54.940 the act so she could be legitimately fired. They joked 650 00:51:55.019 --> 00:51:59.750 about setting up a nanny cam inside

the store. In 651 00:51:59.789 --> 00:52:02.750 the end, the team decided that the best course of 652 00:52:02.869 --> 00:52:06.329 action would be to announce to all staff the possibility 653 00:52:06.409 --> 00:52:09.780 that a thief was amongst them and then see what happened. 654 00:52:11.829 --> 00:52:16.500 Before their co-workers left on Friday March 11, Jaina commented, 655 00:52:16.519 --> 00:52:20.719 I have to close with the thief tonight. Do you 656 00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:26.760 think I will catch her? Jaina and Brittany worked happily 657 00:52:26.820 --> 00:52:30.090 together that evening, but when it came time to lock up, 658 00:52:30.550 --> 00:52:34.710 Jaina asked to look inside Brittany's bag. It was store 659 00:52:34.750 --> 00:52:39.769 policy to do so. When Brittany opened her bag, Jaina 660 00:52:39.829 --> 00:52:43.469 spotted a pair of Lululemon yoga pants with tags attached, 661 00:52:43.750 --> 00:52:49.210 but no store receipt. Brittany denied stealing them, claiming she 662 00:52:49.250 --> 00:52:53.010 had bought them earlier in the day. As the computer 663 00:52:53.030 --> 00:52:56.070 system had already been shut down for the night, Jaina 664 00:52:56.110 --> 00:52:59.469 told Brittany not to worry. They would sort it out later. 665 00:53:00.449 --> 00:53:06.159 Then they left the store. On her way to her car, 666 00:53:06.670 --> 00:53:10.170 Jaina called the employee who Brittany claimed sold her the 667 00:53:10.210 --> 00:53:16.960 yoga pants. The employee denied doing so. Jaina called her 668 00:53:17.019 --> 00:53:20.250 boss Rachel, who told Jaina not to worry about it. 669 00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:23.760 Now that they had caught Brittany in the act, Rachel 670 00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:29.369 planned to dismiss her the following day. Just as Jaina 671 00:53:29.429 --> 00:53:34.449 began driving home, her phone rang. It was Brittany who 672 00:53:34.489 --> 00:53:37.329 had lost her wallet and needed Jaina to let her 673 00:53:37.409 --> 00:53:42.949 into the store. As detailed in Murder in the Yoga Store, 674 00:53:43.449 --> 00:53:47.309 after being let inside, Brittany likely asked Jaina what was 675 00:53:47.349 --> 00:53:49.789 going to happen now that she had been found with 676 00:53:49.929 --> 00:53:56.380 stolen merchandise. Although the details of the conversation aren't known, 677 00:53:56.739 --> 00:54:00.079 their escalating voices could be overheard in the Apple store 678 00:54:00.139 --> 00:54:06.670 next door. Forensic analysis showed Brittany first attacked Jaina in 679 00:54:06.690 --> 00:54:09.150 the back storeroom by hitting her on the back of 680 00:54:09.210 --> 00:54:13.860 the head with a metal bar. Jaina attempted to fight back, 681 00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:18.820 but the violent attack continued. The final blow was from 682 00:54:18.860 --> 00:54:21.460 a knife kept in the back room of the store. 683 00:54:24.059 --> 00:54:27.260 Jaina had parked her car in a no-standing area right 684 00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.409 outside the store, thinking she'd just be running in for 685 00:54:30.449 --> 00:54:35.239 a few minutes. Knowing that Jaina's car would draw attention there, 686 00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:39.300 Brittany rummaged through Jaina's bag until she found her keys. 687 00:54:40.619 --> 00:54:44.010 She drove Jaina's Pontiac to a parking lot three blocks 688 00:54:44.070 --> 00:54:47.389 away where she sat to think about what to do next. 689 00:54:48.730 --> 00:54:52.469 Had the patrol officer investigated when he drove past, he 690 00:54:52.489 --> 00:54:57.510 would have caught Brittany covered in blood. Brittany returned to 691 00:54:57.550 --> 00:55:00.090 the store and stood in the huge amount of blood 692 00:55:00.130 --> 00:55:04.150 that had pooled around Jaina's body She then walked bloody 693 00:55:04.210 --> 00:55:08.030 shoe prints around the cash registers and safes before replacing 694 00:55:08.090 --> 00:55:11.090 her shoes with the men's Reeboks kept in the store 695 00:55:11.349 --> 00:55:16.760 and repeating the process. Brittany then washed both pairs in 696 00:55:16.780 --> 00:55:20.719 the back sink. She put her New Balance running shoes 697 00:55:20.800 --> 00:55:23.840 back on and walked the Reeboks back to the drawer 698 00:55:23.900 --> 00:55:29.000 in the table. As she walked, her own shoelaces left 699 00:55:29.139 --> 00:55:34.949 little marks of diluted blood. Brittany then threw clothes from 700 00:55:34.989 --> 00:55:38.119 the hangers and toppled over mannequins to make it appear 701 00:55:38.179 --> 00:55:43.000 as though a struggle had taken place. At some stage, 702 00:55:43.179 --> 00:55:45.880 she slit the crotch of Jaina's pants to make it 703 00:55:45.980 --> 00:55:50.550 seem as though she had been sexually assaulted. With the 704 00:55:50.610 --> 00:55:54.789 scene complete, Brittany then inflicted several cuts to her own body, 705 00:55:55.130 --> 00:55:58.309 cut open the crotch to her yoga pants, restrained her 706 00:55:58.349 --> 00:56:03.050 hands and feet, and lay on the bathroom floor. All 707 00:56:03.090 --> 00:56:05.849 she had to do then was wait for someone to 708 00:56:05.929 --> 00:56:15.570 find her. Brittany's brother and sister sat in shock as 709 00:56:15.630 --> 00:56:20.789 Detective Drury listed the evidence pointing to Brittany's guilt. They 710 00:56:20.809 --> 00:56:24.289 did not believe she could unleash such a brutal assault 711 00:56:24.429 --> 00:56:27.989 resulting in murder over a pair of stolen yoga pants. 712 00:56:29.750 --> 00:56:33.190 Detective Drury was upset for the Norwood family as he 713 00:56:33.250 --> 00:56:38.139 considered them lovely and cooperative people. Brittany's father had even 714 00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:41.639 invited him to go fishing once the investigation was over. 715 00:56:43.380 --> 00:56:47.199 The detective himself struggled to come to terms with Brittany's guilt, 716 00:56:47.679 --> 00:56:51.949 telling her family, quote,

I did not want to believe 717 00:56:52.010 --> 00:56:55.070 it at first. I did not want to believe it. 718 00:56:58.579 --> 00:57:02.119 On Friday March 18, one week to the day since 719 00:57:02.179 --> 00:57:07.480 the attack, Brittany was arrested for first degree murder. The 720 00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:12.989 day of the arrest coincided with Jaina's funeral. Over 200 721 00:57:12.989 --> 00:57:16.710 people gathered to say goodbye to Jaina, including the founder 722 00:57:16.829 --> 00:57:23.190 and CEO of Lululemon. As Jaina's parents drove to the chapel, 723 00:57:23.469 --> 00:57:26.829 they received a call from detectives informing them they had 724 00:57:26.889 --> 00:57:31.869 made an arrest. They were horrified to learn the person 725 00:57:31.909 --> 00:57:40.980 who killed their daughter was Brittany Norwood. Following Brittany's arrest, 726 00:57:41.199 --> 00:57:44.159 the state prosecutor met with the Janus family to see 727 00:57:44.199 --> 00:57:46.739 if they would accept a plea deal instead of going 728 00:57:46.780 --> 00:57:51.630 to trial. The plea bargain entailed that Brittany would serve 729 00:57:51.630 --> 00:57:55.630 15 years of her sentence and then become eligible for parole. 730 00:57:57.309 --> 00:58:01.050 Jaina's family refused to accept this and a trial date 731 00:58:01.139 --> 00:58:06.380 was announced. Ten days before the trial, the judge dealt 732 00:58:06.420 --> 00:58:10.860 a blow to the prosecution. They would not be allowed 733 00:58:10.900 --> 00:58:14.880 to give evidence regarding the telephone conversations between Jaina and 734 00:58:14.940 --> 00:58:18.500 Rachel just prior to the murder, in which Jaina told 735 00:58:18.539 --> 00:58:23.650 her boss she had caught Brittany stealing. Classified as hearsay, 736 00:58:24.030 --> 00:58:27.289 this ruling was critical. as it meant that the prosecution 737 00:58:27.389 --> 00:58:33.519 could not argue a motive for Jaina's murder. Brittany's trial 738 00:58:33.599 --> 00:58:38.320 began on October 24, 2011, in the Montgomery County Circuit 739 00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:44.809 Court in Rockville, Maryland. Over 200 exhibits and 25 witnesses 740 00:58:44.869 --> 00:58:49.210 were called, including the Apple Store employees who recounted hearing 741 00:58:49.309 --> 00:58:55.329 Jaina's cries for help. the prosecutor conceded that Brittany had 742 00:58:55.369 --> 00:58:59.500 played her part very well. He admitted that had she 743 00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:03.019 discarded the men's Reebok shoes instead of returning them to 744 00:59:03.059 --> 00:59:07.670 the drawer and left Jaina's car parked in its original location, 745 00:59:08.429 --> 00:59:14.719 Brittany may have gotten away with murder. In his opening statement, 746 00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:18.900 Brittany's defence attorney stunned the jury and onlookers when he 747 00:59:18.940 --> 00:59:23.210 cut straight to the point and admitted Brittany's guilt, saying, 748 00:59:24.349 --> 00:59:28.070 There was a horrific fight, and during that fight, Brittany 749 00:59:28.110 --> 00:59:35.650 Norwood lost it. Jaina was killed by Brittany. There was 750 00:59:35.710 --> 00:59:39.309 no point in maintaining her innocence. The evidence against her 751 00:59:39.409 --> 00:59:44.489 was too overwhelming. Rather, Brittany was seeking to be convicted 752 00:59:44.570 --> 00:59:50.239 for second-degree murder instead of first. On November 2 2011, 753 00:59:50.219 --> 00:59:56.780 the jury deliberated for only 21 minutes. before finding Brittany 754 00:59:56.840 --> 01:00:02.780 Norwood guilty for the first-degree murder of Jaina Murray. As 755 01:00:02.900 --> 01:00:07.679 both families cried at the verdict, Brittany remained still and silent, 756 01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:14.460 showing no emotion. Less than 24 hours later, Jaina's parents 757 01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:18.019 went shopping at the Bethesda Lululemon store that had since 758 01:00:18.099 --> 01:00:24.239 reopened following their daughter's murder. Her father David told CBS 759 01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:27.739 that there was an important reason for their visit, saying, 760 01:00:29.380 --> 01:00:32.300 Nothing will start until we pass the first day of 761 01:00:32.340 --> 01:00:35.719 the new normal we're searching for, so this was the 762 01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:43.260 appropriate location. Jaina's mother added, We have always had Lululemon 763 01:00:43.300 --> 01:00:46.739 gifts under the tree for Christmas, and we decided this 764 01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:57.260 year was not going to be any different. Brittany was 765 01:00:57.320 --> 01:01:02.179 sentenced two months later on January 27, 2012, with over 766 01:01:02.179 --> 01:01:08.800 200 spectators crowding the courtroom. Jaina's family spoke openly about 767 01:01:08.840 --> 01:01:11.829 the impact that her murder had on their lives, with 768 01:01:11.869 --> 01:01:17.869 her brother Hugh saying, March 12, 2011 was my family's 769 01:01:17.989 --> 01:01:21.989 September 11, 2001. Nothing will ever be normal. Nothing will 770 01:01:22.150 --> 01:01:31.139 ever be the same. Jaina's brother Dirk said that he 771 01:01:31.199 --> 01:01:34.860 and his two sons draw pictures and we write notes 772 01:01:35.019 --> 01:01:37.440 and we burn them so they can rise in the 773 01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:43.400 smoke up to heaven. Jaina's murder had a profound impact 774 01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:46.429 on his two young boys and he told the courtroom 775 01:01:46.510 --> 01:01:49.809 that instead of checking the closet for boogeymen before bed, 776 01:01:50.449 --> 01:01:56.730 they check for Brittany Norwood. Brittany finally broke the silence 777 01:01:56.769 --> 01:02:00.590 that she'd maintained for the entire trial, begging for mercy 778 01:02:00.750 --> 01:02:06.809 and a chance of parole. In tears, she said, For 779 01:02:06.849 --> 01:02:09.900 the Murray family, what do I say when your daughter's 780 01:02:09.940 --> 01:02:14.539 gone and I'm the one

convicted of her murder? I 781 01:02:14.599 --> 01:02:17.320 know what I say today won't take the pain away 782 01:02:17.480 --> 01:02:22.119 over the loss of Jaina. I hope for the Murray family, 783 01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:25.500 someday you'll be able to find forgiveness in your heart. 784 01:02:27.110 --> 01:02:33.469 I am truly sorry. To illustrate the horrific nature of 785 01:02:33.530 --> 01:02:37.530 the assault and murder committed by Brittany, an emotional judge 786 01:02:37.630 --> 01:02:40.550 told the courtroom that one night he went home and 787 01:02:40.690 --> 01:02:45.840 banged his fist against a table 300 times. This was 788 01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:48.840 to mimic the hand movements of Brittany as she attacked 789 01:02:48.980 --> 01:02:55.949 Jane up. It took him over eight minutes. He told Brittany, 790 01:02:58.369 --> 01:03:01.789 You mutilated this woman and with every blow you had 791 01:03:01.829 --> 01:03:05.289 a chance to think about what you were doing. You 792 01:03:05.369 --> 01:03:08.320 reveled in the gore and the lies that you told 793 01:03:08.429 --> 01:03:13.139 afterward were incredible. You're one hell of a liar, ma'am. 794 01:03:16.000 --> 01:03:19.900 Addressing the families, the judge was overcome with emotion as 795 01:03:19.940 --> 01:03:25.409 he said, We don't pick our families, but frankly, if 796 01:03:25.489 --> 01:03:28.090 I had to pick a family, I'd want either the 797 01:03:28.150 --> 01:03:34.250 Norwoods or the Murrays. Brittany was then sentenced to life 798 01:03:34.329 --> 01:03:40.429 imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Jane's family clapped and 799 01:03:40.489 --> 01:03:45.440 cheered as the sentence was read out. Outside of the courtroom, 800 01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:49.440 Jane's father said the apology from Brittany was too little 801 01:03:49.599 --> 01:03:52.769 too late. and just a last-ditch effort to have her 802 01:03:52.849 --> 01:03:58.570 sentence reduced. Brittany appealed her conviction on the grounds that 803 01:03:58.610 --> 01:04:02.050 her initial interviews with detectives should have been omitted from 804 01:04:02.090 --> 01:04:04.949 the trial as she hadn't been read her Miranda rights. 805 01:04:06.489 --> 01:04:10.550 The appeals judge dismissed this, saying that Brittany was initially 806 01:04:10.650 --> 01:04:19.699 interviewed as a victim, not a suspect. Jaina's murder continued 807 01:04:19.739 --> 01:04:23.059 to impact staff at the Apple store next door, with 808 01:04:23.159 --> 01:04:28.809 manager Lara relocating to another store. The security guard who 809 01:04:28.849 --> 01:04:31.489 was on duty the night of the murder felt immensely 810 01:04:31.590 --> 01:04:36.150 sad about his role in the night's events. Having previously 811 01:04:36.230 --> 01:04:39.610 worked in rough neighbourhoods, it never crossed his mind that 812 01:04:39.690 --> 01:04:42.989 something more than an argument between two people was happening 813 01:04:43.050 --> 01:04:46.699 in the yoga store. Had he been working in a 814 01:04:46.739 --> 01:04:50.179 more dangerous location, he would have acted on the noise. 815 01:04:52.760 --> 01:04:55.800 Jaina's brother Hugh was serving in the military at the 816 01:04:55.840 --> 01:04:58.570 time of the murder and had left Iraq to be 817 01:04:58.610 --> 01:05:02.250 with his family in the wake of the crime. When 818 01:05:02.289 --> 01:05:06.070 he returned to Iraq several weeks later, a parcel was 819 01:05:06.130 --> 01:05:10.489 waiting for him. It was from Jaina who had mailed 820 01:05:10.550 --> 01:05:15.500 it shortly before she was killed. As detailed in the 821 01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:19.880 yoga store murder, Hugh opened it hesitantly, aware that it 822 01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:22.820 would be the final communication he would ever have with 823 01:05:22.860 --> 01:05:28.210 his sister. Jaina had sent him a running cap with 824 01:05:28.289 --> 01:05:31.130 a greeting card that listed things that didn't work on 825 01:05:31.170 --> 01:05:40.619 their own. Chips without dip, macaroni without cheese, me without you. Inside, 826 01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:45.519 she had signed off, Take care and be safe. Love 827 01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:52.960 you and miss you. Jaina In the wake of Jaina's murder, 828 01:05:53.300 --> 01:05:56.360 a stained glass window was erected over the doorway to 829 01:05:56.400 --> 01:06:00.389 the main entrance of the Bethesda Lululemon store in her memory. 830 01:06:02.090 --> 01:06:06.289 The colourful mosaic featured the word love emblazoned in red 831 01:06:06.389 --> 01:06:11.929 cursive script. it became a local landmark known throughout town 832 01:06:12.150 --> 01:06:18.769 as the Love Window. In December 2017, the Lululemon store 833 01:06:18.849 --> 01:06:24.280 relocated to another vacant lot on Bethesda Row. Unable to 834 01:06:24.320 --> 01:06:28.420 keep the stained glass window, Lululemon shipped it to Jaina's 835 01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:33.679 brother Hugh, who told NBC Washington, It means a lot 836 01:06:33.719 --> 01:06:38.139 to us as it represents Jaina. we definitely wanted to 837 01:06:38.199 --> 01:06:43.460 preserve that and have it in our home. As a 838 01:06:43.500 --> 01:06:46.880 means of preserving Jaina's memory and the impact she had 839 01:06:46.940 --> 01:06:50.639 to those who knew her, Jaina's family started the Jaina 840 01:06:50.719 --> 01:06:57.280 Troxell Murray Foundation. Still in existence, this foundation provides scholarships 841 01:06:57.380 --> 01:07:00.889 to those in financial need, with the hope that recipients 842 01:07:00.949 --> 01:07:04.250 will be afforded the same opportunities that Jaina had to 843 01:07:04.309 --> 01:07:09.980 succeed in life. Jaina's memory lives on in a video 844 01:07:10.039 --> 01:07:13.380 she posted to YouTube three months before she was murdered. 845 01:07:15.389 --> 01:07:18.190 In the clip, Jaina can be seen living her life 846 01:07:18.250 --> 01:07:21.449 to the fullest by going bungee jumping to celebrate her 847 01:07:21.530 --> 01:07:27.210 30th birthday. The video is accompanied by the song Learning 848 01:07:27.250 --> 01:07:30.829 to Fly by Tom Petty and shows Jaina as she 849 01:07:30.889 --> 01:07:34.389 and her family would want her to be remembered. Full 850 01:07:34.449 --> 01:07:37.280 of energy, joy and positivity. 851 01:07:40.719 --> 01:07:41.199 Thank you. 852 01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:12.019 We'll see you next time.
