Chapter 1: Why should you start with Part 1 of the Lululemon series?
Hey everyone, this is our series on the murder at Lululemon, and we are on episode 3. So if this is the first time you're hearing about this story, you don't want to enter in the middle, please scroll back in your feed, find Murder at Lululemon Part 1, and start there. Okay, thanks so much for listening.
Chapter 2: Who is the suspect in the Lululemon murder case?
So police have a new suspect, Brittany. Maybe, they think, Jaina had caught her shoplifting and Brittany lured Jaina back to the store and killed her. But it was just so unbelievable, and it didn't answer a lot of questions. Like, for example, remember how they found Jaina's car a few blocks away from the store?
A patrolman had seen someone sitting behind the wheel after midnight, after the murder had taken place. Had that person been Brittany? And if so, why would she get into Jaina's car? Before detectives can even figure out their next move, they get a call from Chris, Brittany's brother. He says that apparently Brittany has something important to tell them, something she'd forgotten to say earlier.
So Brittany, her sister Marissa, and her brother Chris all head to the station. Chris and Marissa wait outside, and Brittany sits down in the interrogation room with two detectives. What you're about to hear is tape from that conversation.
Chapter 3: What does Brittany claim happened during the murder?
I don't know what they told you guys, but prior to him sexually assaulting me and zip-tying me, they made me move her car. Okay. I know where her car is.
They made her move Jaina's car? Why is Brittany offering up this information? I mean, if she really can explain this, maybe all the other puzzle pieces will fall into place. Maybe she's innocent after all.
They seemed to know where it was, where she was parked. Okay. They asked... They said where her keys and... made me look through her coat and her bag for them when I finally found them. They said if I was to pass to anyone and open my mouth, I can consider myself dead. And that one of them would be watching the entire time. And I honestly don't remember the exact lot, but
They said to like, I don't know, like cross, it's almost like on the other side of Wisconsin or something.
Okay.
From that street. And if I wasn't back within 10 minutes, like that was it. And I remember seeing a cop and I was just too scared to even flag him down, do anything. Okay.

Chapter 4: What troubling patterns are revealed about Brittany's past?
Maybe not. Because Britney's saying she saw a cop. Probably that patrol officer who'd seen someone behind the wheel the night of the murder. And she didn't flag him down. The cops have heard enough. They're ready to confront Britney. From Sony Music Entertainment and Campside Media, this is Infamous. I'm Natalie Robomad. And I'm Vanessa Grigoriadis.
Last episode, police tracked down several leads. They were trying to figure out just what had happened to the ladies in the Lululemon store. They soon discovered that Brittany had been accused of shoplifting and that at a previous Lululemon store she'd worked at, at a different location, she'd done what's called discount abuse. That's why she'd been transferred to the Bethesda location.
This episode, detectives zero in on their prime suspect. This is Murder at Lululemon, Part 3. So in the span of a week, Brittany has gone from victim to prime suspect. Maybe she'd been caught stealing, and in her panic, she'd killed Jaina, and then tried to cover her tracks.
But it would be hard to convince somebody that somebody would commit this kind of a brutal murder over a pair of $120 jogging shorts.
State's attorney John McCarthy again, the chief prosecutor for the county.
We better make sure we get this right. Because this is a terrible allegation to make against a young woman if it's not true. Murder is a terrible allegation.
Detectives started digging into Brittany's past. They soon found out the cropped pants incident wasn't the first time that Brittany had allegedly been caught stealing, not by a long shot. According to Dan Morse's book, The Yoga Store Murder, back when Brittany was young, she seemed to have a habit of sticky fingers.
For example, when her sister babysat for a neighbor, that neighbor said that whenever Brittany would accompany her, stuff would go missing from the house. Just little things, coins from the change jar or pieces of cheap costume jewelry. Later, when Brittany started playing varsity soccer in high school, she made friends with her teammates. And one of Brittany's friends' wallets kept going missing.
The teammates suspected Brittany. When they confronted her, they said she broke down and admitted it. Brittany's really fun to hang with, they would say. But be careful. She steals and she lies. Then, when she got into college on a soccer scholarship, there were allegedly more instances of thieving. Enough of her teammates raised concerns to the coach and she was off the team.

Chapter 5: How do detectives challenge Brittany's story?
The night of the murder, after she talked to Brittany about the crops, she called the same coworker and said something along the lines of, I caught her.
This is Infamous from Campside Media.
Now we're back in the interrogation room where Brittany is telling detectives an unbelievable story. She's saying that in the middle of the attack, the two men had made Brittany find Jana's car keys, get in her car and move it. Detectives aren't buying it, but they let her keep talking and talking. I'm gonna let some of that police station audio play out now.
Why don't you then step by step by step walk me through it, okay? You go back to the store, okay? And were they standing by the front door waiting for you or in the back or what?
One was in the back and the other one's like here. The fitting room.
Okay, and what was said, what was done?
Did you talk to anyone? I said no.
You're walking from the store. to the car, and you see a cop car going by, and you said that, like, you passed a couple of people.
On my way back.

Chapter 6: What evidence contradicts Brittany's account?
Well, hopefully you will, okay?
I don't.
Okay, well, let's try to get through it.
After I left it, I walked back to the store.
Still covered in blood.
My hand. It's bloody.
What's your offense?
My clothes were... Bloody.
What about your forehead? Had that started bleeding yet, or did that happen after you got back to the store? It did. I had blood on my face. Okay. And how many people do you think that you passed?
