Death in a bottle: the mysterious unsolved Tylenol murders.
Reblogged from www.seanmunger.com:
Thirty-one years ago today, on September 29, 1982, a 12-year-old girl named Mary Kellerman, who lived in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, died after taking a single capsule of the popular pain reliever drug Tylenol. Within a few days, six more people in the Chicago area were dead, including Stanley and Teresa Janus of Lisle, Illinois--Stanley's brother Adam was also among the dead--who had swallowed Tylenol capsules from the same bottle.
I remember when this happened. I didn't know that the murderer had never been caught, though. My excuse is that I was in middle school so I'm lucky that I paid attention to anything. However, didn't this case lead to a new way of packaging so that it was easier to see if medicines had been tampered with?
