The Tylenol Murders (1982) | America's Most Infamous Unsolved Crime
In September 1982, seven innocent people in the Chicago area died after taking Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules that had been secretly laced with cyanide. The victims had no connection to one another, making the case one of the most terrifying and mysterious crimes in American history.
The poisonings sparked nationwide panic, forced Johnson & Johnson to recall more than 31 million bottles of Tylenol, and forever changed how medicines are packaged with tamper-evident safety seals. Despite decades of investigation, thousands of leads, and advances in forensic science, the person responsible has never been identified.
