’82 Chicago Tylenol Murders No Cold Case?

As bad as Chicago crime is in the midst of its social justice experiment, Tribune recently ran series on the 7 Tylenol murders in which the 80's creep was never ID'd, i.e., for sure. New evidence renews hope a murder charge can still be had in the Sanctuary City …

Those of us who lived through 1982 in terror will never forget how 7 innocents in the Chicago area died within 24 hours after taking Tylenol they had picked up from the store. The reason: The pills had been laced with cyanide. At first, a Walgreens in my Old Town neighborhood was believed to be “ground zero” tho other sites became suspect as well. As the Tribune now observes, the attacks not only became the first case of domestic terrorism in the US, but a decades-long search for the killer that has yet to be solved. Perhaps until now, however, the paper’s investigative reporters took “one last attempt at unravelling the mystery, found some new evidence, exposed sealed information & “discovered this cold case was way hotter than they thought.”

Suffice it to say that “during the height of the scare, as people were collapsing in cyanide comas,” a James Lewis threatened Tylenol-maker Johnson & Johnson to pay $1 million or the killings would continue. A "prime suspect" in the T-murders, Lewis was never charged for lack of enough evidence. He WAS convicted of extortion, however, & sentenced to 10 years in a federal prison. Afterward, ABC’s investigator reporter Chuck Goudie interviewed Lewis who denied he was the murderer, yet made “elaborate sketches” showing how cyanide powder can be packed into capsules. As usual, today's Soros-friendly Cook County State’s Atty has yet to file THE charge against Lewis who’s apparently in hiding. Hello federal?
