The Tylenol Murders
from Married to Macabre · host Dee & Isaac
The year is 1982. Neon is in, synth-pop is it, and America's favorite headache cure is suddenly… well, a terminal headache. Join us as we unpack the OG corporate crisis—where Johnson & Johnson had to prove their best-selling pain reliever wasn't a secret cyanide delivery system. It’s a story of random victims, a nationwide panic, and the birth of the tamper-evident seal. Because nothing says "we care" like a plastic wrap you can barely open.Sources:Netflix’s Tylenol Murders Doc Dives Into a Chilling Unsolved Crimehttps://time.com/7287680/tylenol-murders-documentary-netflix/Cold Case: The Tylenol MurdersNetflix“Revisiting Chicago’s Tylenol Murders: An Oral History” Chicago Magazinehttps://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/october-2012/chicago-tylenol-murders-an-oral-history/?utm_source=chatgpt.comWho Was Tylenol Murders Suspect James W.
