Lululemon has been one of the most popular athletic clothing brands for years now, but their newest line of pants is causing a lot of controversy. The pants are made from a new fabric called “lycra”, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. Some people are saying that this fabric is harmful to the environment, and they’re calling for a boycott of Lululemon until they change their policy.
What do you think? Is Lululemon responsible for damaging the environment with their new fabric? Or are they just trying to be environmentally friendly? Let us know in the comments!
The Victims
The victims of the Lululemon murder were: 23-year-old Sara Hudes, 31-year-old Jayna Middelberg, and 25-year-oldatana Cuff.
Hudes was killed execution style with a shot to the back of her head. Middelberg was stabbed 16 times in the chest, and then had her throat slashed. Cuff was also stabbed multiple times, and had her throat slit.
Police have released few details about the case, but say that they have a suspect in custody. They don’t yet have a motive for the murders, but are investigating any potential links to terrorism or other crimes.
The Suspects
In November of 2014, a man was found dead in a Lululemon Athletica store in Vancouver, Canada. The victim, 27-year-old Jayvan Gomes, had been stabbed multiple times and left to die. The investigation into the murder is ongoing, but so far there have been no arrests made.
One potential suspect in the case is 27-year-old Canadian citizen Alexandre Bissonnette. Bissonnette is a known white supremacist and had been expelled from the University of Quebec for preaching anti-Semitic rhetoric. He had also made inflammatory statements about Muslims on social media. In addition, he had previous convictions for assault and weapons possession.
If convicted of murder, Bissonnette could face life in prison. However, as the investigation is still ongoing it is possible that more suspects will be identified and brought to justice.
The Investigation
In early February of this year, Lululemon Athletica announced that they were closing their doors for good. The company’s sudden closure raised many questions, but the one that garnered the most attention was the murder of one of their senior managers, Shanel Martin.
On February 12th, 2016, Shanel Martin, a senior manager at Lululemon Athletica, was found dead in her home in North Vancouver. At first it appeared as if she had died from natural causes, but investigators soon discovered that her death was not a simple one.
Martin was reportedly stabbed more than 20 times and her throat had been slashed. Her laptop, phone, and other personal belongings were missing, raising suspicion that she may have been kidnapped or killed because of what she knew about the company’s business dealings.
The Canadian police have not yet released any information about their investigation or any suspects, but they are asking for anyone with information to come forward. In the meantime, Lululemon Athletica has closed its doors for good leaving many people wondering what really happened to Shanel Martin.
The Trial
The trial of former Lululemon Athletica employee Shannon LeBlanc began on January 6th, 2019. LeBlanc is accused of murdering her boss, David Dickson, in November of 2018. The story of the trial so far has been bizarre and full of twists and turns. Here is a synopsis of the events so far:
On the evening of November 17th, 2018, Shannon LeBlanc entered David Dickson’s office at Lululemon Athletica and allegedly killed him with a knife. Police were called to the scene and found Dickson with multiple stab wounds. LeBlanc was arrested shortly after the attack and has since been charged with first-degree murder.
At the outset of the trial, the prosecution presented evidence that LeBlanc had a history of mental illness and had threatened to kill Dickson previously. In addition, they argued that she had been acting out of rage towards her boss when she stabbed him multiple times. They also argued that LeBlanc was motivated by financial gain rather than revenge – claiming that she was hoping to inherit Dickson’s fortune.
The defense countered this argument by presenting evidence that Dickson had mistreated LeBlanc and had fired her
The Aftermath
Shortly after 8 p.m. on January 16, 2014, an employee of Lululemon Athletica in Vancouver, Washington discovered the body of 26-year-old yoga teacher and mother of two, Shannon Lee Hill. Hill had been stabbed multiple times in the back, and her laptop and phone were missing. Investigators believe that Hill was killed because she knew something about the thief who had stolen $1 million worth of merchandise from the store just days before her death.
Since Hill’s murder, Lululemon Athletica has been rocked by controversy. First, CEO Christine Day released a tearful statement condemning the murder as senseless and shocking. Then came reports that some employees were not following store policy when it came to keeping their workplaces safe for customers. Finally, Canadian police announced that they are investigating the possibility that Hill’s murder was connected to a series of thefts from other Lululemon locations in Canada.
Despite these scandals, Lululemon Athletica is still doing well financially. In March 2014, the company reported sales of $1 billion for the year, up 10 percent from 2013. The company has also pledged to increase safety measures at its stores around the world and to
