In the third volume of Killer British Murder Stories, I discuss the case of The Chicago Tylenol Murders with Bobbie Holmes of Killer Stories.
The Chicago Tylenol murders were a series of poisoning deaths resulting from drug tampering in the Chicago metropolitan area in 1982.
The victims had all taken Tylenol-branded acetaminophen capsules that had been laced with potassium cyanide.
A total of seven people died in the original poisonings, with several more deaths in subsequent copycat crimes, and no suspect was ever charged or convicted of the poisonings.
This is the second of two collaboration episodes Bobbie and I recently recorded. To hear me tell the story of Jamaican murderer Ricardo Linton, check out Killer Stories.
