        • Episode 21: Tylenol Murders

          In 1982 Tylenol was the absolute leader in the painkiller field, outselling the next four leading painkillers combined. Tylenol was the most successful over-the-counter product in the United States with over one hundred million users. Accounting for 13 percent of Johnson & Johnson's year-to-year sales growth and 33 percent of the company's year-to-year profit growth at the time. However that all came in a horrific end in the fall of 1982 when people in the Chicago area started dropping dead after taking extra strength Tylenol.

          What if everything in your life was falling perfectly into place, full of promise and many firsts still waiting to happen, then, one morning, you simply disappeared? No warning, no goodbye. Just gone. And no one ever knew why.

          This is what happened to Jennifer Keese. 

          Nearly two decades ago, she vanished without a trace in Orlando, Florida. Days later, her abandoned vehicle was reported to the police—an unsettling discovery that ignited a long, mysterious investigation into her disappearance.

          Her family relentlessly pushing for an investigation and eventually becoming the driving force behind the search for their missing daughter.

          Have you seen Jennifer? 

          We will have photos of Jennifer, her condo and her vehicle posted over on our Instagram.
