We're bringing you an encore presentation of the story that inspired this podcast (plus bonus commentary!). Harini talks about the Chicago Tylenol Murders (or Tylenol Murders) of 1982 and how this terrorizing event completely changed the pharmaceutical industry's drug-packaging practices. It also influenced stricter Federal anti-tampering legislation. Although copycat attempts of drug tampering and poisoning threatened the nation immediately following the Chicago murders, the case remains open to this day with no true leads.
