Chapter 1: What details emerge about the victims and suspects in the Lululemon case?
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.
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.
We understand it like you may have had a relationship with Brittany. Right. Okay. and that it may have been a sexual relationship and that you may have had sex with her a couple of days before this whole thing started, like maybe Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, something like that.
Going back, I met Brittany and I think it was sometime, I'm giving it the best of my recollection, in the summer in Georgetown. She worked at the Georgetown Lululemon. And I went in there, bought some stuff. If you've been to the store, like it almost seems like they're their model. They're all very friendly. Everybody's really nice. So it was nothing serious. Struck up some conversation.
She gave me her number. I think, yeah, I gave her mine. I never even called the girl. Like it's kind of one of those, you're just flirting, you get the number. So I never called her, never reached out to her or anything. And then she texted me when I guess she was moving to the Bethesda store. remembering that I worked in Bethesda, lived in Bethesda, that thing.
And she was like, I forget the exact text, but it was very, you know, like, hey, what's up? Let's get some coffee or something this time. And I remember my response, because I didn't even have her number saved in my phone, was, I lost my phone, who is this? And she was like, oh, it's Brittany. And I was like, oh, you know, Lululemon or whatever. I was like, oh, okay, hey, what's going on?
Sure, we can get some coffee or something sometime. That was it. We got some coffee at the Barnes and Nobles. It was awful, actually. She was, like, kind of dry. I go in that store frequently, all the time. Like, you know, I know most of the girls in the store, and I shop there, and I get stuff for myself.
Now, he says that he and Brittany did eventually get together, just not right around the time of the attack.
Um, are you positive that you didn't have like sex with her that Wednesday then?

Chapter 2: Did Brittany Norwood have an intimate relationship that could be a motive?
Most of these tips don't go anywhere, but a lot of people are calling about a man named Keith Lockett. He's a tall, black, homeless man known for being a drinker. Investigators are skeptical. This is mostly wealthy, mostly white Bethesda, and when people get scared, their prejudices quickly start to show.
But some of the coolers say they've noticed Keith hanging out with a short guy and that he hasn't been seen at his usual location since the murder. And when detectives look into him, they find a colorful rap sheet spanning back years. Cocaine possession, assault and battery, robbery, the list goes on.
So even though they think it's a long shot, they start looking for Keith and they find him six miles away at a hospital with bloody clothes and a swollen eye. Now, Keith says that the reason his eye is swollen was that a man had punched him the night before. But he can't seem to keep the details straight about who that man was, how the fight started, or where it even happened.
As the detectives interview him, Keith becomes increasingly agitated. He keeps saying that he's schizophrenic and needs medication. And detectives start to wonder, was he unstable enough to have committed this grisly crime?
This is Infamous from Campside Media.
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.
We found a pair of men's shoes, a pair of men's size 14 sneakers. And they were in there because when you bought gear there, and both men and women's clothing was available at Lululemon, they would fit you with the clothing because they wanted it to look right on you.
And so the shoes were there so that if you tried on a pair of jogging pants or something like that, they would hem them, they would fit them for you, so you would look great when you went to the gym. Well, these... size 14 shoes. All of a sudden, a detective turned the shoes over.
There's no obvious signs of blood or anything on them, but he looked at the pattern on the bottom of the shoes and he recognized the pattern on the bottom of that shoes was identical to the pattern of the shoe prints that were all over the store in red, which I think were, you know, at some point in time, he thought, my God, the attacker in this case was wearing these shoes and doing the attack.
