''A long-haul trucker from Kansas has been charged with two counts of murder after detectives in a newly formed cold case unit connected him to the brutal deaths of two women in the 1990s.

At a press conference this week, Kansas City Police Chief Karl Oakman said it was likely that Gary Dion Davis, 52, has 'killed more.'

Not only looks like him, but a trucker as well. LB suspect posed as a delivery man. Yes, just speculating though.

The shopping center is visible from I-80. It’s a very busy interstate with a lot of trucks.

I will say that I 100% believe that whoever was driving those two vehicles knew the area well to get away without a trace like they did. I 100% believe that the drivers of the two vehicles had been to the shopping center before. It’s kind of tricky the first few times you shop there getting in and out. I remember getting confused the first couple of times I went.

I also think it’s likely that the guy in the sketch isn’t from the area and that is why no one has identified him. Perhaps he was visiting family and/or friends that weekend.

The Tinley Park Lane Bryant didn’t have a stock room. From my understanding shipments went to the Orland Park store, and they sent stuff to the Tinley Store. How would the perps know this unless they knew someone that worked or delivered to the Lane Bryant’s in this area?

I wonder how many stores are set up like this. Most retail stores have a stock room. I think a store like this not having one is an outlier.

I have always thought that it had to be someone who was familiar with Lane Bryant, and that location in particular. It isn’t a place that would be selected at random, IMO. We used to shop at the nearby Target store when we leaved in the area, and I frequently drove past Lane Bryant.

There is too much traffic and the store is highly visible. If someone was interested in a simply robbery there are better options in the area.

I agree with you 100%. I shop at this shopping center too. As far as shopping centers there are only 2 ways in and out. Traffic backs up at the first entrance off Harlem where the red light is. It’s not as accessible as a lot of the shopping centers in this area. As far as stores it backs up against the I80 ramp so you basically take away being able to operate from the back of the store. There are a lot of strip malls with much more private back doors. I really think it’s someone familiar with Lane Bryant operations like a Lane Bryant current or former employee or a delivery driver. I would bet that at least one of the perps is a family member of a Lane Bryant employee or delivery driver. I wonder if the employees would sometimes bounce around from store to store. Like for example a Matteson employee work in the Tinley Park store. I really hope the police checked into the seasonal employees too. They probably had some that were let go after the holidays. I wonder if anyone thought the survivor would be working alone that morning and that’s why the store was targeted.
