Terrifying & True | The Chicago Tylenol Murders — Cyanide, Panic & Tamper-Evident Packaging

In 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules. An everyday medicine became a source of national fear, triggering a massive investigation and changes in product packaging. Terrifying & True follows the victims, the search for the person responsible and the extortion demand that complicated the case. James Lewis was convicted of extortion, not the murders—a distinction essential to understanding the investigation. Explore the unresolved poisonings and the legacy of tamper-evident packaging with narrator Henrique Couto.
