On March 11, 2001, two employees were closing up at a Yoga store in downtown Bethesda-Chevy Chase, Md. Police said the women left the “Lululemon Athletica” store at 9 p.m. and returned at 10:05 p.m. when they realized they had left items behind. At some point when the women re-entered the store, two masked men followed in behind them and brutally attacked the victims.
The next morning around 8 a.m. police say the manager arrived to open the store and found the front door unlocked. She heard faint noises coming from the back and called police. When officers arrived they found the body of one of the women, Jayna Murray, and her co-worker bound. The surviving victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment.
Lululemon is a part of the Bethesda Row community. It’s an active place all day, but especially on the weekends. Right next door to Lululemon is an Apple Store. The night of the attacks and murder a long line of people waited outside Apple awaiting the release of the new iPad II. Police would not say if any witnesses saw or heard anything.

A disturbing case continues to be on the hearts and minds of parents in Phoenix, Arizona where the FBI is on the hunt for a pediatrician who is accused of distributing child pornography. Dr. Emilio Luna, 40, was arrested last month when a federal grand jury brought down a five-count indictment against him.
According to the FBI’s website, “Dr. Luna, a Phoenix pediatrician, came to the attention of law enforcement when thousands of files from suspected child pornography were shared from his computer in a public peer-to-peer file sharing system. He was arrested on Wednesday, September 1 by federal agents. Following a detention hearing a few days later, he was released by order of the court, and is forbidden to have access to the Internet or children while under supervision of U.S. Pre-Trial Services.”
A couple of weeks ago agents say Luna cut off his ankle monitoring device and fled. He had permission to attend church services, and his car was found later that night abandoned in a Glendale, Arizona parking lot.
The search for Kyron Horman was back on today as dozens of professional searchers and volunteers combed Sauvie Island for the child. This is a place investigators focused on for weeks after he went missing on June 4.
Desiree Young spoke out yesterday at the Kyron Horman Wall of Hope begging the public to raise the reward to find her son. Terri feels that her son is being held against his will and a boost in reward funds may prompt the right person to call with information. Currently the reward sits at $50,000.
More fundraisers are underway to help find Kyron and add to that reward. On October 9 and 10, 50 percent of all nursery sales at the Sleepy Ridge Farms in Mulino will go toward the Kyron Horman Foundation fund. Kyron was last seen by his step-mother Terri Moulton-Horman at the Skyline Elementary School in Portland, Oregon. Although no suspects or persons of interest have been named in the case have been announced, Kyron’s step-mother Terri Horman continues to be in the spotlight. She was the last person to see Kyron that morning.
