Family members of the victims of the Lane Bryant murders are continuing to look for answers.

On Feb. 2, 2008, an unknown suspect entered a Lane Bryant location in Tinley Park, Ill., where four employees were on shift, tending to two customers. The assailant, posing as a delivery driver, entered the store and tied up the six women inside.

Rhoda McFarland, 42; Connie Woolfolk, 37; Jennifer Bishop, 34; Carrie Chiuso, 33; Sarah Szafranski, 22, were all shot execution style and died of their injuries. The sixth woman shot, a part-time employee at the store who survived her injuries, has never been publicly identified by police. One of the women was also sexually assaulted by the suspect, though police have never revealed which of the victims was involved.

The surviving victim was able to relay details to police about the suspect's appearance, while his voice can be heard on a 911 call reporting the incident.

The horrific crime, which changed countless lives that day, is the subject of an upcoming documentary by former America's Most Wanted producer Charlie Minn.

“The Tinley Park 5” is slated to debut Feb. 13 in a number of local theaters in the area. Minn told WBEZ Chicago that he's hoping "to start some chatter here."

"The whole point is to stir up enough attention, raise enough awareness, to solve the case… This case has faded, people are busy, they move on. I hope people see this and become as angry as I am about what happened."

Also hopeful is Mike Hudek, brother of Carrie Chiuso, who continues to want answers for his family.

"I kind of had to forgive and let that go right after it happened, because I was going down that rabbit hole of why and what if and what could have been done, you can't undo what happened," Hudek told CBS News Chicago.

"This individual is not going to be caught until somebody speaks up or identifies who he is. I mean, he's somebody's son, grandson, nephew… whatever the case may be, somebody's aware of who this individual is."

Hudek likes to remember his sister for the life she lived rather than the tragic manner in which it came to an end.

"We remember her in other ways. I mean, this is, of course, a tragic event, and we will certainly have a toast tonight in her honor around the dinner table," he said.

While the case remains unsolved, Tinley Park police ensure the investigation is still ongoing.

"This investigation has never stopped,” Police Chief Tom Tilton told ABC7 Chicago. “Our detectives and partners continue to evaluate leads, review evidence and apply available investigative and forensic tools as they evolve. This work occurs every day.”
