Geocache Description:


I place this cache as a historical marker for an event that took place over a year ago. I looked for the location of this act and all I found was an empty store front with a spry of flowers hanging from the door handle. Log gone is the store sign and crime tape. As I searched for a location at a respectable distance I discovered the white crosses placed in the ground for the victims.

Unsolved Tinley Park slayings haunt families and officials.

A year (as of 1-23-09) has passed since a gunman walked into a Lane Bryant clothing store in south suburban Tinley Park, killed five women execution-style in the backroom and seemingly vanished into the frigid February morning. The crime—the worst mass murder in village history—has faded from the news pages and telecasts but still haunts those affected by it. (To read the rest of the article click here)
