from NaturalQueen77 TV · host NaturalQueen77 TV
After the 1982 Tylenol murders shocked Chicago, a dangerous blueprint was left behind — and some people decided to use it.In this episode of NaturalQueen77 TV, we follow the chilling wave of copycat poisonings that emerged in the years that followed. We cover the 1986 death of Sue Snow in Auburn, Washington — the first crack in what would become a twisted murder-for-hire scheme — and the extraordinary forensic investigation that led to Stella Nickel, the first person ever convicted under the federal anti-tampering act. Then we look at Diane Elsroth's unsolved cyanide poisoning in Yonkers, New York, and Joseph Melling's calculated attack on his own wife disguised as random product tampering.One anonymous killer in 1982 changed consumer safety forever. But the copycats they inspired? Those cases are far from over.⚠️ Listener discretion advised. This episode contains discussions of graphic violence, poisoning, and mature themes.
