“Manhunt under way after 5 slain in Tinley Park”
February 3, 2008
BY CARLY A. MULLADYStaff Writer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “He’s still out there.

Authorities were still searching late last night for the man who killed five women inside the Lane Bryant store in Brookside Marketplace in Tinley Park.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The shooter — described by a witness as a stocky man in a dark knit cap and dark jacket — was seen leaving the scene, but police have yet to find him. Tinley Park Police Sgt. T.J. Grady said police were “pretty sure’’ he acted alone.
Why the shooter targeted the small retail store for robbery is anyone’s guess.
“It’s not a place where you would find a lot of cash,’’ a police source said, adding the man did make off with some valuables.

Why it turned deadly is also unknown, police said.”

“6th victim alive, sources say
Woman gives description of Tinley Park gunman”

By Tara Malone and David Heinzmann | Tribune reporters
12:33 AM CST, February 4, 2008

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “They said they were pressing their search for an African-American man about 5 foot 9 and 260 pounds, dressed in black clothing.

Eric Woolfolk, who identified the body of his sister, Connie R. Woolfolk, said she was shot in the head. She also had bruises and her hands had been tied behind her back.

“He might have tortured her,” he said. “He couldn’t possibly have thought that [store] would be a good place to rob. This person is obviously a sick person.””
