WTOP is reporting that "police were told that Norwood was transferred from the Georgetown Lululemon store to the Bethesda location because of concerns she was stealing merchandise." Patch has not yet independently confirmed this information.

Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy said that Murray suspected Norwood may have been stealing from the store, and called store management to report her suspicions. He said a confrontation ensued, and that Murray's injuries were "catastrophic." The attack, which may have lasted as long as 20 minutes, took placed at numerous locations within the store, he said.

He said materials from inside the store itself were used as weapons. McCarthy said Norwood set up the crime scene to appear as though there had been an attack by two men. She wore a pair of size 14 shoes that belonged to the store and tracked footprints through Murray's blood, he said. She later washed the shoes and tied herself up using her teeth, he said.

McCarthy said Norwood's cunning in lying to police officers was "unparalleled."

Alan Drew, a public defender, didn't have a comment after the hearing. A public defender will be representing Norwood, he said.

Norwood is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in April.
