Now, he says that he and Brittany did eventually get together, just not right around the time of the attack.

It didn't seem like he had much of a motivation to attack Brittany, let alone Brittany and Jana.

From Sony Music Entertainment and Campside Media, this is Infamous. I'm Vanessa Grigoriadis. And I'm Natalie Robomet. So last episode, we went into the way Lululemon works, some of it, and what happened in the aftermath of this brutal attack on two employees, educators, in the boutique in Bethesda, Maryland. Afterward, Brittany was still alive.

She was taken to the hospital, where she began filling in investigators on the events of the night.

Now, crimes against women are often committed by intimate partners. I mean, boyfriends, spouses, husbands. And so detectives bring in a guy that they heard was dating Brittany.

So while police are questioning Keith, they're also interviewing other people, collecting evidence and following all sorts of other leads. As they examine the crime scene further, it seems more and more like whoever did this really left a trail. For example, there was one extremely odd detail that had to do with a pair of shoes.

So what he's saying is, in the store, you know, there would have been shoes for fittings, right, at Lululemon. That was something that they did. In this case, the detective, according to Dan Morse's book, you know, looks at the actual shoes, and when he turns over the shoes, Dan Morse says that the detective's eyebrows rose nearly all the way to his bald head.

The shoe prints that were on the floor matched exactly the wavy waffle patterns on this shoe. So these were the shoes that were worn by the attacker.

Remember the Apple store right next to Lululemon, the one with the CCTV?

That's right. You could hear what was happening in Lululemon from inside the Apple Store. This was late at night. It was past 10 p.m., so it was hardly peak shopping hours. Most employees had gone home for the day. It was pretty quiet. I mean, that's part of why you could hear it.

The Apple employee who'd noticed the sounds said that she heard high-pitched yelps and squeals, grunting thuds, a dragging noise, like something heavy was being moved. She flagged down another manager, and they both stood there and listened. The words seemed muddled, but one of them thought they heard somebody saying, "'Talk to me. Don't do this.'" Talk to me. What's going on?

And then there was what sounded like a different voice saying, God, help me. Please help me. The Apple employees talked back and forth about calling the police. But that conversation through the wall, it just seems so personal and intimate.

Plus, there was something about the voices that possibly could have stopped them. The voices' high-pitched nature. This was not a guy fighting with a girl, which they might have perceived as leading to more violence.

So it's March 2011 in Bethesda, Maryland. At the police station, detectives are trying to solve the murder of Jana Murray and the violent attack on Brittany Norwood. One was a George Washington grad, the other was a former soccer star. They both seemed to be very type A, but they were friendly and they were outgoing. It was hard to imagine who could have had a motive to attack them.

Das ist 28-jährige Brittany Norwood. Ihre Eltern hatten eigentlich neun Kinder und sie war die sechste dieser neun Kinder. Sie lebten früher außerhalb von Seattle. Sie hatten nicht viel Geld. Ich meine, ihr Vater machte ein Leben als Furniturer, was schwierig ist, wenn man neun Kinder hat. Aber sie waren wirklich arbeitende Arbeiter, eine tolle Familie. Ja, genau.

People thought she was beautiful and she got a soccer scholarship, full ride to play soccer.

Eine halbe Stunde nachdem sie weg waren, hat Britney Jana angerufen. Sie sagte, sie hätte ihren Metropass in der Strecke verlassen. Sie musste nach Hause. Jana kam zurück, weil sie mit der Schlüssel war. Sie ist der Supervisorin. Die beiden Mädchen haben sich in der Strecke getroffen.

Und wenn sie in der Rückseite den Metropass bekommen, ist es dann, als die Anwälte in den Laden kommen und die beiden Frauen loslassen.

The police chief would say that they had no indication at this point that this was anything but a random crime of opportunity.

We're opening this story in an upscale shopping district in Bethesda, Maryland. It's March 12th, 2011. It's early morning, not too much noise out there. The streets around the boutiques are just starting to stir. The stores aren't quite open yet. Sidewalks are just coming to life. Einer der Stores ist ein Apple-Store, weil es natürlich ist. Und es ist gut designt, wie alle Apple-Stores.

Und wirklich, wirklich populär. Selbst bevor es öffnet, gibt es Kunden da, weil der iPad 2 gerade geliefert worden ist. Dieses iPad hatte eine rücksehende Kamera, die alle Tablets heute haben. Aber damals war es das erste iPad, mit dem man FaceTime machen konnte. Die Leute waren sehr aufgeregt. So viele Leute kamen am Tag vor, als sie es kaufen wollten, dass sie die Kunden wegwerfen.

Right next door to Apple, there's Lululemon, everybody's favorite athleisure store. Home to those leggings that can run a hundred dollars and just make your butt look really good.

Und dann, währenddessen, haben Sie in Lululemon den Ort, wo jeder seine Leggings bekommt, um ihre Athletik zu machen oder einfach auszuhängen, diesen gruseligen Mörder. Der Ort ist mit Blut gespattert. Das ist der Art von Mörder, den Sie auf CSI sehen, nicht in Bethesda.

Sie verkauften Kleidung in einer Boutique, die nicht nur um Kleidung ging. Es ging auch um all das, was du vorhin gehört hast, die Zielsetzung, die inspirierenden Quote. Eine davon wurde Jana Murray genannt. Sie war 30 Jahre alt.
