When someone in one of those stores snapped.
In the case of Lulu, I think that chip got steered the wrong way.
I really appreciate it, but based on my research, I don't think it's a good fit for me at this time.
And I kind of listed out all of my reasons without saying it sounds like a fucking cult.
From Sony Music Entertainment and Campside Media, I'm Nathalie Robimaud.
And I'm Vanessa Rigoriadis.
This is Infamous Murder at Lululemon, Episode 1.
Now, maybe you can tell from the title, but this story is a little more traditional true crime than we normally cover.
But it's also much more than a seemingly salacious murder.
It brings together so many disparate threads of what it means to be an American in the 2010s, which is the era we'll be covering.
About how brands and fitness fads and fashion labels became the touchpoints of our lives, almost creating a moral system for us.
And the reasons why we break those moral systems.
Why we do the worst things we do as people.
For this story, we also called the courthouse to get a hold of police interrogation files and court documents.
It was so much stuff that they mailed a thumb drive to us, but it got returned.
So we ended up sending the sister of one of our colleagues to pick it up near D.C.
Long story short, we eventually got our hands on a ton of files, some of which have never been published before.
So you'll get to hear a lot of those insider tape recordings over the next few episodes.
With that, I'll hand it over to Vanessa.
