À propos de cet audio
In 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking Tylenol—each capsule laced with deadly cyanide. The case sparked national panic, triggered sweeping changes in packaging laws, and remains unsolved to this day.
In this episode, Caleb is joined by his brother Josh and their dad, Papa Jefe, to unpack the chilling details of the Tylenol Murders. Along the way, they reflect on growing up in the 80s, the rise of tamper-proof packaging, and how this case still echoes today.
