82: The Tylenol Murders

This week we’re looking at the still unsolved Chicago Tylenol murders. In 1982, seven unsuspecting victims took Tylenol for headaches, colds, and pain relief and moments later they were dead. The pills had been laced with cyanide and investigators had to work quickly to figure out what was going on. We'll take you through all the details hour by hour and go through some of the suspects and theories in the case.  FURTHER READING: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Tylenol_murders (Chicago Tylenol murders - Wikipedia) https://chicagoreader.com/news-politics/a-bitter-pill/ (A Bitter Pill) https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/16/us/tylenol-acetaminophen-deaths.html (How an Unsolved Mystery Changed the Way We Take Pills (Published 2018)) https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/tylenol-murders-1982 (How the Tylenol murders of 1982 changed the way we consume medication) https://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/October-2012/Chicago-Tylenol-Murders-An-Oral-History/ (Revisiting Chicago's Tylenol Murders – Chicago Magazine) https://www.ou.edu/deptcomm/dodjcc/groups/02C2/Johnson%20&%20Johnson.htm (Case Study) https://beyondthedash.com/blog/remembering/remembering-the-victims-chicago-tylenol-murders/7360 (Remembering the Victims of the Chicago Tylenol Murders) http://archive.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/01/11/tylenol_killings_suspect_maintains_his_innocence/ (Friend: Tylenol suspect submits DNA, fingerprints) ----------------------------------------------- https://square-mile-of-murder.captivate.fm/listen (Like the show?
