The Poisoner Chicago Never Caught | Tylenol Murders Documentary

In 1982, seven people in the Chicago area took Extra-Strength Tylenol laced with cyanide. More than forty years later, nobody has ever been charged with the murders. My book, Your Neighbor Is a Serial Killer: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HPQFVRQ5 Images created with Kolbo: https://app.kolbo.ai?via=blackbeard Narrated with a licensed synthetic clone of the author's voice. The Chicago Tylenol murders changed every medicine bottle in America. This true crime documentary follows the case from the first deaths in Elk Grove Village and Arlington Heights, through the nurse who counted the capsules, the national recall, the extortion letter and the manhunt for James, to the task force interview in 2022 and the Boise lead that investigators say may be connected. James was convicted of extortion only, and was never charged in any of the deaths. Mathew was never charged with any crime.
